20+ Fabulous Gifts for Chick Flick Lovers, Film Fans, and Binge Watchers!
My Chick Flick Lovers Gift Guide is inspired by Oprah Winfrey’s fabulous Favorite Things list. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have Oprah’s money, but I still love nice things too.
If you are looking for a special gift for a special someone or maybe something nice for yourself. After the year we have all been through in 2020, I think a few nice things are definitely called for.
It all starts with the television!
It wasn’t too many years ago that I had a 17 inch TV with a set of rabbit ear antenna. That seems like the dark ages now. Thanks to Covid-19, I’ve been confined to my home since March 2020. So buying a better television seemed like a wise purchase.

Amazon Video (Amazon Prime) is the home of the ‘marvelous‘ original series, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and many others.
Give the Gift of Entertainment
With most movie theaters shuttered for the foreseeable future, major Hollywood studios are seeking new options to release their movies. Warner Brothers recently announced that they will release all of their 2021 movies to HBO Max. That includes Wonder Woman 1984.
A subscription to a streaming service is the gift that keeps on giving. So, give the gift of entertainment with an annual subscription to Apple TV+, Netflix, Disney+, or Spotify.
Apple TV+ features Apple Originals, like The Morning Show and Defending Jacob, groundbreaking documentaries, like Bruce Springsteen’s Letter To You, and more!
The cost of an annual subscription to Disney+ is worth every penny. If Broadway was open, you would pay more for a balcony ticket to see Hamilton. On Disney+ you can see the original Broadway cast of Hamilton, every Marvel movie (hopefully Black Widow too), Mulan, and more Star Wars movies than I even knew existed. And of course, the original series The Mandalorian, The World According to Jeff Goldblum, and more.
Netflix is filled with romantic comedies and other movies. Chick Flick fans will love TV series like The Crown, The Queen’s Gambit, Virgin River, and Good Girls. And for laughs: Schitt’s Creek!
CBS All Access (Includes CBS original shows, as well as all of the Star Trek, series: Star Trek Discovery, Picard, Next Generation, etc)
Movies and TV Series Based on Books
Since the days when Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters picked up quill pens to write their romantic stories about strong first women and handsome gentlemen, chick lit and chick flicks were destined to be together.
Give a box set of DVDs, or a collection of novels by popular chick flick series like these will keep any chick flick lover entertained for days.
