15 Amazing Gifts to Get the Ultimate Binge-Watcher in Your Life This Holiday Season
By Elaine Selna
Since the dawn of Netflix, binge-watching has taken the world by storm. Why watch a show each week, one episode at a time, when you can watch the whole season in a weekend? Many of us have our favorite shows that we binge-watch religiously when a new season comes out, and some of us binge pretty much everything Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and all the other major streaming networks have to offer. For those special people in your life who are ultimate binge-watchers, here are 15 gifts to think about getting them this holiday season to make their viewing experience more enjoyable.
1. Netflix Gift Card; $30
Netflix costs $9, $14, or $18 per month, depending on your plan. Over the course of a year, that can add up. A gift card isn't just a practical gift for those who already watch the streaming platform, it could also be the introduction point for people who haven't tried it out yet.

2. Amazon Prime Gift Card; $39
Similarly, many people do not get Amazon Prime because it can be expensive (it costs $119 for a year). But you can give a gift card for three months of Prime, which offers fast and free product delivery, along with a seemingly unlimited amount of movies, TV shows, and music to stream. Now your friend can catch up on all your favorite shows they couldn't watch before.

3. Uncanny Brands Star Wars Death Star Popcorn Maker; $50
Now on to the viewing experience. No movie night, TV binge session, or franchise marathon is complete without a bowl of delicious popcorn. Sure, bags of popcorn work just fine, but why not re-create the movie theater experience with a popcorn maker that also looks like the Death Star? Since it's an air popper, it is healthier than oil frying in a pan, and it is super easy to use. Just toss the kernels into the chamber, watch them pop away, and then use the Empire's tool of ultimate destruction as a bowl for your treats.

6. Integrity Bottles Premium Game of Thrones Whiskey Glass; $22
