THN’s Gift Ideas: The Hobbit, Homeland, Bond Gadgets, Tetris Lights, Pac-Man Lamps & More!

It’s only two weekends away now! What is? That Christmas thing that makes everyone go crazy but does enables us to have an over-exuberant amount of everything without feeling guilty…and maybe a bit of alcohol. Maybe.

We’d like to present you all with one more set of ideas and what better that film-themed awesomeness from Firebox! Check out our previous recommendations for gadgets, T-Shirts and surprises that you’ll love – and we blinking love – plus here’s a few more, should you still be struggling for inspiration! Let the games begin…

MUSICALS! 

Musical Wine Glasses: £39.99

These wine glasses feature musical notations corresponding with levels of liquid, so while a nice full glass might be a B flat, when you start getting low on vino, you’ll be playing a G sharp. You and your dinner companions will be performing boozy ballads in no time.

HOMELAND!

iZON Remote Room Monitor: £99.95

Fully adjustable and mountable and featuring audio and motion sensors, this digital camera will keep its eyes on things when you’re not around. It’s like having your very own CCTV network, not that we condone or support international espionage of course…

THE HOBBIT!

Slippers from the Shire: £19.99

If the Zombie ones weren’t quite your style, then Slippers from the Shire are warm, comfortable and certainly look like they’d be capable of making an epic mission to the letter-box, general store or even up a volcano to dispose of a hypothetical evil ring. We like to give you options here at Firebox. 

JAMES BOND!

Bond Kindle Cases: £27.99

Don’t blow your cover with these watertight, rock-solid Kindle covers. Much like the man himself, these Bond Kindle Cases are a combination of tech savvy and cultural cool, keeping your Kindle safe and your delicate reading material top secret.

12-in-1 Multi Tool Pen: £9.99

In addition to its most obvious function as a svelte, stainless steel ballpoint pen, the 12-in-1 cunningly contains another 11 useful tools within its sleekly segmented and nicely knurled body, including a Phillips screwdriver, long cutting blade, tweezer, stainless steel fork and more. The only thing missing is a Bond-style explosive projectile firing function, but it’s still a pretty impressive list.

Fire Stash Keyring: £6.99

Impossibly titchy, this keyring-friendly zinc alloy capsule unscrews to reveal a fully functioning refillable lighter. Instant fire wherever you may roam. It’s hot stuff!

STAR WARS: Star Wars Life-size Cut OutsFrom £19.99

Star Wars Talking Alarm Clocks£13.99

STAR TREK: Star Trek Door Chime£24.99

Star Trek iPhone 4 Cases£9.99

ANCHORMAN!

I’m Kind of a Big Deal Mug: £5.99

Enjoy your cuppa from a magnificent piece of mug-based-movie merchandise, because, well, it’s kind of a big deal. It can be placed on a shelf with many leather bound books, in apartments that smell of rich mahogany. Or you can just drink your tea out of it.

Channel 4 News Team Mug: £9.99

News Flash! We interrupt our regular broadcast to bring you this important update from the Channel 4 News Team. A shipment of mugs has arrived at the Firebox HQ, and we love them more than a certain TV weatherman loves lamps.

SHAUN OF THE DEAD!

Plush Zombie Slippers: £19.99

Slippers might be renowned for being the most boring Christmas present ever but that was before these awesome plush zombie slippers were invented. These genius horror themed slippers are in the form of a zombie head and come complete with a dangling eyeball and exposed brain.

THE GREAT ESCAPE!

The Grape Escape: £19.99

Give someone a proper challenge with this word-code wine puzzle and make them earn their wine. Simply select the wine, slide it into the finished wooden frame and spin the rotating word lock, then sit back smugly as they try and crack the code… rather than the bottle.

General Glorious Gadgets! We dare you not to buy the Ghost Lamp…

Pac-Man Ghost Lamp: £34.99

As vintage games go, they don’t come much more classic than Pac-Man. Remote controlled and officially licensed, the Pac-Man Ghost Lamp offers a spectrum of 16 different colours and a host of settings, including Strobe, Flash, Dim and Smooth Fade. The lamp also features on, off, and dimmer controls.

Shirt Shuttle MK2: £34.99

Your Dad has gone to the trouble of ironing his shirt, but as soon as it goes out the door in a suitcase it’s doomed. Shirt Shuttle MK2 has been designed to carry a single shirt and what’s more, it’ll hold it in place and prevent it from being creased. Whether it’s in a bag on the way to work or buried under gym kits and paperwork, your Dad’s shirt will be perfectly stored, dust and dirt-free, ready to throw on at a moment’s notice.

Tetris Light: £29.99

Flash your retro credentials and help you brighten up your home or office with this official Tetris Light, sure to appeal to geeks and design aficionados alike. Simply connect one of the bricks to the mains and then as each new brick is placed into position they will light up through some kind of magical, pre-war 8-bit Russian science.

Heated Sock Animals: £11.99

An awesome alternative to your usual winter warmers, these snuggly sock animals can be warmed in the microwave. Infused with the aroma of French lavender, these adorable accessories are the perfect companions for those long, chilly winter nights.

We’ve probably lost some of you already to the mighty Firebox, just remember, these gifts are for other people, not just for you! Although saying that, we wouldn’t blame you if you picked something up as a treat along the way.
