At 2.1 pounds it’s light enough to take camping or schlep to a presentation and it’s reasonably priced at $500. These are the best gifts for the movie lover in your life, from smart lights that create a cinema-like atmosphere to posters of their favorite flicks. A movie lover is always going to appreciate the chance to go to the theater.

So you've got all the gifts you need for the kids, your family and the friends who really matter. But it's been a tough year, surely you deserve some joy as well. Maybe it's time to upgrade that HDTV to a 4K OLED, or replace a not so great early-gen 4K set. And we’re sure you’ve been thinking of moving on from sad TV speakers. It's time to treat yourself, in true Parks and Rec fashion. Here are some of the best home theater gadgets we'd recommend when budget isn't an issue.

Upgrade their movie-watching experience with a weighted blanket that feels like a hug for the duration of the movie. We often recommend Brooklinen's bedding because of the combination of price, performance, and quality. This blanket is made of breathable cotton filled with little glass beads. Below, you'll find a few gifts for the movie buff in your life, from a massive jigsaw puzzle to a projector.

They do need a good amp -- you can't really run them from a phone -- but the sound quality can't be beaten. I use them connected to a receiver for late-night viewing and they work a treat. The key to maintaining your movie buff status is watching a lot of film. Doing that is a lot easier in a comfy chair like these bean bag options, a higher-end version of the throwback seat from the 90s. One of cinema's all-time great directors also makes a solid Pinot Noir.

High-end projector

It's possible to spend hundreds of dollars on a video streaming device. With a list price of $40 (and currently $25 on sale), the Roku Express 4K Plus offers something for everybody -- a huge range of apps and compatibility with video standards such as Dolby Vision and a 4K resolution. That it works so well for the money is a good kind of surprise. Film buffs know that while the movies are great, the books are often better. The original pressing of The Wizard of Oz falls in that category and is a wonderful gift for those who love an enchanting tale.

An easy last-minute gift idea for a movie lover can be a gift card to their local venue. Your friend or family member may love their gift so much, you might even get a signature plate of ratatouille at your door to say thank you. Don’t let the smaller size of the Sonos Ray fool you, it offers the same stellar sound quality you’d expect from the company. It’s more compact than the beam but it can still handle TV and music audio with ease. There’s a good amount of bass for a speaker this size and the initial setup is a breeze.

Stoke a movie buff's nostalgia for bright, celebratory movie marquees with a personalized print. Pay homage to their favorite movie (good on you for knowing it!), and get it framed for an extra $40. If your cinephile also loves cooking, this blends both hobbies together as beautifully as the best pasta sauce.

Just pour in popcorn kernels up to the marked line, no oil or butter necessary, flip down the flaps and microwave for a nearly instant treat. If you're not a fan of the Apple TV, the Roku Ultra is the only other set-top box worth considering. It's fast enough to stream 4K video with Dolby Vision, and it supports just about every streaming app you'd want. It also has a solid remote with voice-search capabilities, and you can still access all of Apple's streaming video via the Apple TV app.

For anyone in your life who loves streaming movies from home, get them this convertible blanket they can wear as a fashionable cape. For someone who wants a movie poster with a little more pizzazz, these Etsy prints take popular films including Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Basterds and provide a color palette and a brief description of the movie. Shake things up next movie night with this set of popcorn seasonings in flavors like ranch, sweet BBQ, rojo taco, and mojito lime. Agnès Varda was known for her distinctive, whimsical look as much as for her directorial talents, making her the perfect filmmaker get the tote bag treatment. Plus, this accessory is made by the Criterion Collection—many a film buff's most-loved publisher. Sate any thriller fan's appetite for suspense with 15 films from the undisputed master of tension, Alfred Hitchcock.

In this book, Andrew Rea, an internet-famous cook and movie fan, shares recipes based on a popular TV show or film, like the beef bourguignon from "Julie & Julia" and Bubba's shrimp from "Forrest Gump." There's no reason to forgo a cinematic movie-viewing experience. This can-sized mini projector is there to elevate movie nights wherever you go.
