2News Holiday Gift Guide 2021
KUTV — If you're looking for the perfect gift this holiday season, look no further than 2News' Holiday Gift Guide!
With production and supply chain delays expected to impact this year's holiday season, 2News' Ryan Painter launched this year's gift guides earlier than usual.
Below is a compiled list of gift ideas for everyone on your shopping list!
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2021: STAR WARS
Everything from Lightsabers to Baby Yoda, this holiday gift guide has everything a Star Wars fan could ever want!
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2021: TELEVISION AND STREAMING
"I was thrilled to put this section together as it includes an incredibly eclectic mix of comedy, sci-fi, western, soap opera, horror, action, reality and just about anything else that you could possibly imagine."
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2021: DISNEY AND PIXAR
"Let's take a stroll through the magical and delightful world of Disney and Pixar. There's a bit of everything for everyone to be found."
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2021: THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER
"We'll have to wait until April for "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore," but that doesn't mean the house elves haven't been busy crafting up a collection of figures, books and bears for your gifting experience."
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2021: MUSIC
"When I look back on my life, the significant events all have a soundtrack. From Cyndi Lauper to John Coltrane and on to Rosetta Stone, my taste is rather eclectic. I obviously like it that way. I'm not necessarily a fan of everything in this guide, but I think there is a nice sampling for gear, books, vinyl and movies here. A collection of ideas to explore a less-traveled road of oddities. Or, you could just go and pick up the new Adele album."
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2021: KIDS
"A section dedicated to kids and kids at heart. There's a bit of everything here. A bit of Paw Patrol, Minions, Jurassic World, Sesame Street, Gabby's Dollhouse, Spirit and a whole lot more."
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2021: COMIC BOOKS AND SUPERHEROES
"The comic book universe is a vast, varied, and wonderous space where if it can be imagined, it can exist. Here's a bit of the kitchen sink with nods to Marvel, DC Comics and a few indie titles."
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2021: ANIME
"The two sections that have grown the most over the years have been tabletop games and anime. This is partly due to a general rise in popularity and also because I've found myself increasingly curious about both fandoms."
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2021: TABLETOP AND VIDEO GAMES
"I've been putting together gift guides for over a decade and one of the major trends of the past few years is the growing popularity of tabletop board games. So, this year the focus has shifted dramatically in the direction of new and indie board games. There are a couple of video games in the mix, but the general difficulty of tracking down a next-gen console has left me feeling a little jaded."
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2021: MOVIES
"When I started doing gift guides a decade or so ago, the primary focus was on movies. So, in many ways, this guide is the closest thing to the original idea (before I became increasingly ambitious). This year includes James Bond, Dune, and Star Trek subsections and a bit of horror at the end. There are books and Blu-ray, some vinyl and a few toys thrown in for good measure. The past two years have been hard on theatrical releases, but there's still plenty here to be excited about."
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2021: ADVENT CALENDARS AND HOLIDAY THEMED COLLECTABLES
"It's just about time to start counting down the days to Christmas. Here's a collection of advent calendars and holiday-themed goodies to help you get into the spirit of the season."
