Top Ten Gift Ideas for the Pirate in Your Crew!

Give Your Favorite Buccaneer the Best Treasures They Could Hope for This Holiday!

What do you buy the pirate in your life? No pirate is quite complete without their ship . . . but I doubt that's the kind of holiday shopping anybody wants to do this year! Instead, try some of the suggestions on this list for great holiday treasures that are sure to make your favorite pirate scream "Yarg!" (in a good way, of course). These are all general gift items that are perfect for almost any pirate; however, some are sure to be more appropriate for the adult full-blown swashbuckler than the little deck swab you may know. Use these suggestions as a starting point to find all kinds of pirate treasures this holiday season

Pirates of the Caribbean film(s). With the soon coming release of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest in December, consider going in for one or both of these popular pirate films for the pirate you know. If they already have the first film, go for the second one, or find a nice collector's edition of the first they might not have; the holidays are the perfect time to enhance the viewing experience of any Pirates fan. (Note: when buying any film, make sure you know the viewer's preference. Some go for widescreen, while others prefer to skip the black-bars and go with a pan-and-scan version. If you're not sure, I'd recommend going with widescreen; it captures more of the original cinematic image.)

Hook. No pirate's collection of films is complete without this rendition of the famous Peter Pan films. Anyone will be sure to enjoy Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman battling with swords and wits when a grown-up Peter is forced to remember his past to save his child.

Treasure Island. You may think this gift is aimed more at young children than any pirate you know; well, think again, matey. If there's anyone who appreciates good humor, it's a college student. And what adult doesn't love to be reminded of the good old Muppet Show days? This gift makes a perfect gift for pirates of any age.
