Binge-watching TV shows has become a favorite past-time thanks to streaming services that make entire seasons of new series available all at once. Watching movies at home has also become a popular activity as upgraded home entertainment products allow for a fully immersive experience akin to the cinema.
Those who love TV can always further improve the experience at home, whether it’s through a new, larger and higher-resolution TV, better speakers, upgraded streaming device, and more. Many of these items also make great gifts when looking for that perfect present for a loved one.
Streaming TV Subscription
The most popular streaming TV services include Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, Paramount+, Apple TV+, and Peacock. Chances are even the most enthusiastic TV lovers isn’t subscribed to all of them. But if there’s a show or two they might like, signing up for a one-year subscription will be appreciated.
Pricing varies, but there are promotions happening all the time, and chances are a full year can be had for under $100. Cancel after the period is up or continue to renew each year as a thoughtful ongoing gift.
Streaming Stick Or Media Player
Even with a smart TV, a streaming stick can offer a more intuitive interface along with plenty of exclusive streaming channels. Roku, for example, has its own channel with tons of content exclusive to its interface, along with giving access to all the most popular streaming services (with a subscription).
Streaming sticks and players from brands like Roku, Amazon, and Google Chromecast are easy to set up by plugging directly into a TV’s HDMI port and following simple set-up instructions. They can be used in multiple locations, from the cabin to a hotel or friend’s house, and make affordable gifts.
Big Screen TV
Ideally a gift for the family, an upgraded TV can make all the difference in the viewing experience. Go as big as possible for the room and opt for a 4K TV since even without a 4K source, many 4K TVs will still upconvert HD signals to provide a better picture.
There are two main TV types, LED, which every company has their own name for (LG’s, for example, are NanoCell while Samsung LED TVs are called QLED). But for the absolute best picture quality, including the blackest of blacks, splurge on an OLED TV.
Soundbar
A full 5.1 or 7.1 sound system might not be feasible due to budget or space constraints, but even one of the best soundbars can enhance the audio beyond what emits from the TV’s built-in speakers. Many soundbars boast technology that mimics the sound of multiple speakers for hearing immersive audio from the left, right, center, and with soundbars that include technology like Dolby Atmos, even from above.
For watching action movies and TV shows, sports, and even playing video games, a soundbar added to the equation can make the experience more exciting. And they don’t take up much room, positioning neatly below the TV.
Smart Remote
Most TVs come with fabulous remotes these days, along with apps for using a smartphone or tablet for controlling playback. But this can drain a phone’s battery quickly, and TV remotes, for the most part, can’t control other devices in the home.
Look into a smart remote that can be used to control not just the TV but also other aspects of the home entertainment experience, like lighting. This might require a separate system or smart hub to tie it all together. But even a smart remote that can control the TV via touch and voice, as well as store favorite settings, is a useful gift.
AV Receiver
An AV receiver can function as the control hub for the entertainment experience, connecting a multitude of devices for watching from different sources, while also amplifying the sound through connected speakers.
Products like a cable or satellite TV receiver box, video gaming console, streaming media box, Blu-ray player, or even a hard drive for playing content from a private library can all be connected, depending on how many inputs the receiver has. With an AV receiver, it’s simple to seamlessly switch from one source to another.
Funko Pop! Bobbleheads
There’s nothing particularly high-tech about these, but TV lovers often have a show or two that they are particularly enamored with. And chances are, if that show is a top one in popular culture, there’s a Funko Pop! bobblehead of the main characters. Find one or two that fit and wrap them up for a pleasant surprise they can place in their home theater area alongside their other collectibles.
From sitcom Funko Pops every TV lover should own to superheroes, and popular characters in dramas, thrillers, and other genres of TV, there are plenty of bobbleheads to choose from.
Smart Speaker
A smart speaker might sound like an odd gift for a TV lover, but it all goes with creating the right ambiance. With a smart speaker and compatible home entertainment system, a single command can queue up a favorite streaming service, or even a specific show title or channel.
With smart lights as well, set a complete “scene” for TV viewing: turn on the TV, switch the input, and dim the lights for an atmospheric viewing experience.
Tablet
The second screen experience is common while watching TV, with a smartphone in hand playing mindless games while also watching, or even looking up information about characters, actors, or other information related to what’s on the big screen.
A tablet enhances this experience with a bigger second screen and frees up the smartphone to prevent overuse and battery drain. Plus, it can come in handy for watching TV on the go through various streaming apps. While there are plenty of premium tablets from which to choose, the best cheap tablets will save a few bucks.
Wireless Headphones
TV lovers aren’t always watching while sitting on the couch at home in front of a big screen. TV is increasingly consumed on the go – on a mobile device during a morning commute, on a treadmill while working out at the gym, or even while waiting in the airport for a flight.
A good pair of headphones makes it easy to watch anywhere without disturbing others. And a wireless pair eliminates those pesky wires that can get in the way, especially when moving from one spot to another, like hopping off a train once arriving at the right stop or putting away items on a plane once the descent has begun.
