Need Xmas gift and movie ideas
« on: November 29, 2018, 02:02:12 PM »
Hi every pony,

Outside of the Arena Swap, I'm having a hard time coming up with gift ideas for people. I got the World Wildlife Fund catalog in the mail and it got me thinking... what are some other gifts that also help great organizations? I am visiting with a lot of family this year, I need to get a bunch of small gifts for people of various ages.

Also, I'm super into Christmas this year and I want to watch some movies on Netflix and Amazon! What are your favorites? Mine is A Christmas Story but I can't find it on either of those two services, I guess I'll need to pick up the DVD lol.

You can look into local wildlife and animal shelters for gifts. If you know people with pets, shelters usually have collars, leashes, magnets, mugs ect, for sale.

You can also donate in their name if they aren’t into material gifts. I have done that in the past. I would pick up items and take a photo of everything before donating and put the photo and info in a Christmas card to give the person.

I am not sure if any are on Netflix/Amazon but here are some favorites:
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Christmas with the Kranks-is on Prime
Surviving Christmas
Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer
Frosty the Snowman
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
The Year Without Santa Claus
Jingle All the Way
Garfield’s Christmas Special
Elf
A Mom for Christmas
Holiday in Handcuffs
Home Alone 1&2
Mickey’s Christmas Carol
Muppet Christmas Carol
Beauty and the Beast: Enchanted Christmas
Santa Claus: The Movie
Santa Clause 1&2

Some of my favourite Christmas movies are Home Alone series, The Christmas Bunny, Santa Clause series, Christmas with the Kranks, Miracle on 34th Street... umm probably others I'm not thinking of at the moment.

For gifts, if you have any animal lovers, I have some Purple Paws in my shop (pocket tokens, magnets, or keychains). The purple paw (inspired by the purple awareness ribbons for animal abuse) are a symbol for rescues animals/pets. I sell them for $2 CDN each, with $1 being donated to the F5RS rescue, where we adopted our Floofer bunny from.

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I've started down the list of movies that you all suggested that are on Amazon / Netflix. Definitely I'll be watching the Muppet Christmas Carol and The Christmas Bunny at some point.

Local wildlife and animal shelters is a great idea! I have some animal lovers on my list. I also found some fair-trade, rainforest-safe chocolate. And I found out about Yoobi school supplies for fun stocking stuffers that also help kids in need. :)

Christmas Chronicles is great! Kurt Russell is now my favorite Santa.

You might miss it because Santa and Christmas was not in the title, but it would be sad indeed to overlook "Stick Man" indeed a uniquely heartwarming christmas movie...

I also agree with supporting local animal rescue groups... Every state has a greyhound rescue... ::cough cough::

Chasing Christmas is one of my favorite x-mas movies, that and everything made by Rankin Bass.

Prancer got added to Amazon!
 I'm super happy about this and plan to watch it soon. Def. a favorite. I recommend it.
Also, Amazon has a lot of Christmas music! Trans-Siberian orchestra, Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song album, the Charle Brown Christmas soundtrack, & their "Christmas Classics" playlist are all ones I've been listening to the past week.
