Buy Their Favorite Film on DVD
…And don’t forget to buy them a DVD player too!
“Directed By Nora Ephron” Crop Top or Shirt
This is sold by Superyaki, which has one for Greta Gerwig fans that says, “From Director Greta Gerwig.”
If you can’t find a scene from the screenplay they love, you could also get them the movie poster for their favorite romcom instead.
Your only chance to test their knowledge and prove them wrong!
A fan fiction book called, Waiting For Tom Hanks
A great idea for someone who is obsessed with Tom Hanks and this would fulfill their fantasy…maybe Isabel needs to write a book about Zac Efron.
It’s Beginning To Look A lot Like Hallmark Book
A great guide for the Hallmark writer in your life especially! This could even be a great gift for someone who generally just loves Hallmark movies.
Give The Gift of MasterClass
It’s basically like you are giving them a Zoom link to pretend they are talking with Shonda Rhimes!
Gift Card to RoadMap Writers
You could also check if you can gift someone an entry to Virtual PitchFest or on Film Freeway, or other contest websites that may let you buy a gift certificate!
If you don’t have Rooftop Cinema near you, then just buy someone movie tickets…or a subscription or membership to AMC, or your local theater!
Super helpful so your significant other can stalk celebrities!! Or, you know, use it for professional contacts and cold e-mailing agents, and directions, and writers, and Zac Efron.
Random Romcom Related Items From Uncommon Goods
Like this personalized family movie night blanket! So cute! So fetch!
Fake Oscar Statue
Or steal a real one, if you can. And then write “Best Original Screenplay” and you’ll get bonus points if you actually remember the name of your partner’s script that they won’t stop telling you about.
Give Away The Rights To Your Life
Hand them over, even if you haven’t done anything cool or significant in your life! Just give your partner permission to write about you or write/name a character after you. They’re gonna do it anyway, without your permission, but, you’ll look cute.
Write a Romcom Screenplay ABOUT YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER
And then propose to them in the movie in the last scene! Wow, so romantic. You’re welcome.
Write Them A Scene…That You Both Act Out
It doesn't have to be a sex thing, geez, why does everyone think so inappropriately?
Write A Scene…That Everyone In Your Family Then Acts Out
Bake Them Cookies
In the shape of movie related objects, like a Clapper, Film roll or an Oscar statue if you’re a legit baker.
Offer To Read Their Screenplay
Or tell your friend who knows someone important, ( like, say, Zac Efron’s agent, about your script ) and get them to read it. Or read their script and give your feedback and lie and say you totally love it, even if it sucks.
