Top 10 Gifts for a Christmas Movie Fanatic
High Snobiety

Every Christmas, I always ask for a gift unique from the items that other members of my family receive. As a movie lover, I expect something that relates highly to film, of some kind. For example, last year my parents gave me the full screenplay and storyboard for the film "The Dark Knight". However, I realized that there are certain gifts from Christmas movies that would be both festive and thoughtful. These items can range from various things that someone could use every day. Ranging from 10-1, this is the top 10 Christmas movie memorabilia to gift.

10. Membership in the Jelly of the Month Club

One of the most famous scenes from Christmas Vacation is when Clark receives his work bonus of a membership to the jelly of the month club. This hilarious gag gift is sure to bring laughs. Honestly, this is an amazing stocking stuffer for the entire family.

9. Oscar Mayer Weiner Whistle

Judge Reinhold's character in " The Santa Clause" stopped believing in Santa after he did not get the Weiner Whistle he asked for. The whistle is not a major attribute of the movie, but any cinephile will recognize this little instrument at Christmas.

8. Red Ryder BB Gun

"You'll shoot your eye out kid" is exactly what I was told when I asked for a BB gun when I was a kid. Easily, one of the top most recognizable Christmas movies of all time, "A Christmas Story" is featured on this list two more times. The Red Ryder BB gun was not the best gift of the film, but it is still one of the most quotable scenes.

7. Christmas Napkins

This gift isn't exactly from a movie, but it is from multiple. These festive napkins have famous movie quotes from a range of Christmas movies. For sure the gift that would be used the most throughout the year. Fortunately, the napkins are not paper, so you can simply wash and reuse.

6. Polar Express Ticket

Another great stocking stuffer, the Polar Express novelty ticket is a great present. With the movie being fairly new, and a kid's movie, the ticket can be given to anyone rather than just movie fans. This gift would simply be cool memorabilia from a great film.

5. The Leg Lamp

More so a gag gift than an actually heartfelt present, the leg lamp is great for any lover of the film "A Christmas Story". This is definitely the biggest of all the gifts, but I would love to see the look on the receiving end of this gift.

4. Towels

Straight out of a classic, towels are a great way to see if a movie fanatic knows his stuff. From "Scrooged" , towels are shown to be a true sentiment to coworkers. This would be a more challenging movie to qoute, but if the movie fan is your dad, then he might catch on.

3. The Moose Mug

Another winner from Christmas Vacation, the moose mug is perfect for enjoying eggnog with the film lovers of the family. My brother has his own moose mug. Most people, non film, should already know this mug when they see it.\

2. The Bunny Outfit

It would very bunny to see someone in real life actually put this outfit on. The last item from "A Christmas Story" is the infamous bunny costume. The costume would be another gift that would work well for other people than just a cinephile. Easily recognizable, laughs will be shared to see a close one walk around with this dime on.

1. Turbo Man

Turbo Man is the famous action figure from "Jingle All the Way". My personal favorite on the list, Turbo Man is great to give any movie lover born in the early 90's. I, unfortunately, have never been giving the doll, but I would honestly rather have my father dress up like Turbo Man, as did Arnold Schwarzenegger for his son.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
