It's the most wonderful time of the year... but with only ONE WEEK to go, choosing the right Christmas gift for that special someone in your life can make it a right old hassle! Haha!
Okay, enough of the 'bah humbug' attitude - Act On This can help!
We've taken a different approach to our gift guide for 2014, listing ONLY the 10 most AWESOME gifts for actors that we could lay our hands on!
Here goes:
10. FUNKO POP! FILM & TV FIGURES - AROUND £10
Funko Pop! Breaking Bad collection
Funko's Pop! vinyl figures serve no useful purpose AT ALL - but they are EXTRA COOL!
Dress up your desk, shelves or mantlepiece with figures from major TV and film franchises including Breaking Bad, Game Of thrones, The Walking Dead, Star Wars, DC Comics and Marvel to name but a few!
9. OLLOCLIP iPHONE 6 4-IN-1 LENS - £69.99
Olloclip
A quick look at Vimeo's stats show how insanely popular iPhones are for creating video. Get your creative juices flowing this Christmas with the all-new olloclip - redesigned for the iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus with 4 advanced-optic lenses.
Whether you're filming your next self-taped audition or going selfie-crazy on Instagram, the olloclip will make sure you look your very best!
Plus, it comes with 3 wearable pendants because the best camera is the one that’s always with you.
8. GOO.EY SKINS - FROM £15
Goo.ey skins
A popular gift from 2013's list, Goo.ey skins are an AMAZING tool that can get you out of some 'sticky situations' when it comes to a last minute self-tape!
Allowing you to turn any smooth surface into a solid – but temporary – mount for your phone or tablet, Goo.ey’s skins stick fast thanks to a polyurethane epoxy coating.
But they’re smart enough that won’t stick inside your pockets or anything like that.
They make a nice, quick alternative to a tripod and come in useful in lots of other ways too.
Available for most Apple iOS and Samsung Galaxy devices, plus the HTC One (M8), Nexus 5 and Sony Xperia Z2.
7. A GAME OF THRONES - THE BOARD GAME SECOND EDITION - £46
A Game Of Thrones - The Board Game
Game Of Thrones is THAT show we'd all like a role in!
Whilst Nina Gold casts her eyes over your acting CV, re-enact your favourite scenes with this AWESOME board game!
As you'd expect from any Game Of Thrones tie-in, this latest version requires plenty of alliance forming, a fair bit of backstabbing and no small amount of excitement.
All that, and it also looks great!
6. SMARTER WIFI KETTLE - £99
The wifi kettle!
Actors have enough demands on their time as it is - save the actor in your life up to 2 DAYS a year with the wifi kettle!
With the wifi kettle you can start boiling your kettle from anywhere in the house.
Using the wifi kettle app you'll save up to two days a year by pre-boiling your kettle saving you up to five minutes at a time. The wifi kettle is smart, it will tell you when your hot water is ready to pour, remind you to refill and tell you when the kettle is empty.
5. FITBIT WRISTBAND - FROM £49.99
Get fit with fitbit!
A successful career needs a solid foundation in health and fitness.
Fitbit is a great tool to make sure you stick to your new year's fitness resolution.
When it comes to reaching your fitness goals, steps are just the beginning.
Fitbit tracks every part of your day - including activity, exercise, food, weight and sleep - to help you find your fit, stay motivated, and see how small steps make a big impact.
4. STAR WARS X-WING KNIFE BLOCK - £49.99
Star Wars knife block
No self-respecting member of the Rebel Alliance would be without this shiny block that holds five very sharp knives.
Perfect for carving the Christmas turkey this year - we LOVE this striking but functional piece of movie memorabilia!
3. SELFY STICK PRO - £17.95
Selfy Stick
Rightly or wrongly, taking a cheeky selfy is becoming a part of everyday life for many actors.
Whether it's on set with other actors or en route to an audition, The Sefly Stick ensures a great result every time!
The Selfy Stick Pro is an upgrade to The Selfy Stick.
This model has a roller ball attachment to the cradle that holds your phone to give you a 360 view and folds down straight for a more collapsable feel to carry in smaller bags and rucksacks.
This model also features a new ReChargeable BlueTooth button that comes complete with a USB cable for charging purposes.
No more batteries!
2. GOPRO HERO4 - £359
Does the actor in your life fancy themselves as the next James Bond?
Let them record all of their adventures with the GoPro HERO4 Black!
It's the most expensive gift in our list, but the HERO4 Black is the most advanced GoPro ever.
Featuring improved image quality and a 2x more powerful processor with 2x faster video frame rates,1 HERO4 Black takes Emmy Award-winning GoPro performance to a whole new level.
