Truth be told, your film-loving best friend would be totally fine with getting a stack of DVDs or a pair of movie tickets and a voucher for the largest tub of buttered popcorn known to man this holiday season. But where's the fun in that? You've got a clever, creative streak itching to be unleashed, and she deserves a present with a more personal touch.
If she's a beauty buff as well, then you're in luck. We've
rounded up glam gifts that draw inspiration from the year's hottest movies. Whether your BFF is a sucker for James Bond flicks or loves a good Amy Schumer rom-com, you can trust that these beauty buys will blow her away.
