Gift Ideas for Christmas 2021

By  | 

Wonder Woman celebrated her 80th Anniversary this year; and it only seemed right for this year’s gift giving ideas to center around her and other strong women who have made an impression on the entertainment world on the small and big screen.

Here are seven female-based gift ideas for that superhero fan in your life:

Wonder Woman

Funko Pop figurines have been popular for the past 10+ years; and in honor of the 80th Anniversary of the Amazonian princess, this figurine is a great gift idea to add to your collection, whether you love the various versions of the comic book character, Lynda Carter and/or Gal Gadot.

Cost is $15.95

Black Widow

The sole woman in The Avengers (until much later) finally got to take on a solo film that was set before the fateful events in Avengers: Endgame; and if you want to see a great action film that puts Natasha Rominoff aka Black Widow into the forefront, you’ll want this film in whatever is your favorite format.

Costs: Blu-Ray: $25.37; DVD: $31.97; 4k: $41.79

WandaVision

Elizabeth Olson was introduced as Wanda Maximoff in the final credits of the 2014 film Captain America: The Winter Soldier; and has most recently stunned audiences with her captivating and moving performance of the Scarlet Witch in the Disney+ series WandaVision. This unique item is the Scarlet Witch Rose Gold Tiara Ring.

Cost: Approximately $42.97

The Bionic Woman

Lindsay Wagner starred as Jaime Sommers, the Bionic Woman, in 9 episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man before spinning off into her own series for two seasons in the mid-1970’s. The show may not have lasted for very long, but that character left a lasting impression with a lot of people. The gift is a vintage rare 1976 board game by Parker Brothers.

Cost: $32.00

The Secrets of Isis

The1970’s short-lived Saturday morning series The Secrets of Isis may have only aired for 22 episodes, over the course of two seasons, but it was definitely a precursor to The Bionic Woman and Wonder Woman TV shows. You can get the complete series, which focused on an archaeologist who gains an amulet that allows her to transform into the superheroine goddess Isis to fight evil.

Cost of Blu Ray or DVD: $30.00

Buffy, the Vampire Slayer

For a lot of TV viewers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was the turning point for them in terms of having a TV heroine that made a difference for them. This gift idea is a stand-alone deck building game that includes 500 total cards, a full color game mat and rule book.

Kara Thrace/Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica was brought back to the small screen in 2003 with the three-hour mini-series, introducing the character of Starbuck as Kara Thrace (played by Katee Sackhoff). This gift idea is a handmade necklace that features laser cut Starbuck/K. Thrace dog tags.

Cost: Approximately $23.26
