Christmas movies are full of unforgettable presents. They make us laugh, like Ralphie’s infamous Red Ryder BB Gun in A Christmas Story, and the hilarious jelly of the month club membership in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. They go terribly, thrillingly wrong, like the mischievous Gizmo in Gremlins. They break our hearts, like the necklace Alan Rickman buys for his secretary in Love, Actually, and they fill our hearts with joy and wonder like Susan’s dream home in Miracle on 34th Street.
Through our favorite holiday films, we are reminded that it is truly the thought that counts. We put together this locally sourced gift guide to help you find unforgettable presents.
