Great Gift Ideas for the William Shatner Fan

Luna Hanie
When you're stuck with ideas for gifts, gauge your targets interests. What better way to say Happy Holidays than with a gift that says, 'See I listen, I know what you like.' These gifts could be anywhere between favorite scents to a favorite actor or author. This article will feature items that I believe will be excellent gifts for fans of William Shatner.

William Shatner gift #1; Star Trek Seasons 1-3: The adventures of the U.S.S. Enterprise, representing the United Federation of Planets on a five-year mission in outer space to explore new worlds, seek new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no man has gone before.

This series is what truly put William Shatner on the map. Only three seasons in length but every episode is a treasure. Some of my favorite episodes are: "City on the Edge of Forever", "The Trouble with Tribbles" and "This Side of Paradise."

William Shatner gift #2;Star Trek Movies: What goes better with the Star Trek series than the Star Trek movies? They are the perfect match! Some of the best ones are: "The Wrath of Khan," "The Search for Spock," and my personal favorite "The Voyage Home." "The Final Frontier" is also a great movie and was directed by William Shatner himself so there is a double bonus! They are a must have for any William Shatner/Star Trek fanatic.

William Shatner gift #3; T.J. Hooker: This was the next big series that William Shatner did. He plays a tough Sergeant in California who wants to clean the streets of drugs, violence and anything else criminal. It went five seasons but unfortunately only the first two are available at the moment. This is still a must have and would surely put a smile on any William Shatner fan's face.

William Shatner gift #4; Books: William Shatner is the author of numerous books. He wrote a series called Tek War which is about a virtual reality drug. It has recently been transformed into a successful comic book series. William Shatner has also written several Star Trek titles including my favorite The Return and Avenger.

William Shatner gift #5; Autobiography: For those in your life that like to read about others lives than William Shatner's autobiography would be the perfect book. It is called Up Till Now. It is full of witty commentary about his life and is chock full of information spanning his entire career. And what a career it has been!

There is so much more available DVD's, Books, Autograph items that I have not listed here. Some great places to search for items would be:

    As a writer who wrote episodes of Star Trek - I love the Trek ideas. And as a fan of William Shatner's oh so over the top style of acting, living and PR razzmatazz I echo all the other suggestions!

    How about a kit containing 1) a wig, 2) a girldle, 3) a really poor singing voice (I should talk,) and 4) lessons in learning how to be a simply terrible actor? Just a thought.
