The Film: The Golden Compass (2007)

The Present: An Alethiometer, given to Lyra Belacqua for safekeeping.

Why Your Other Half Would Love It: The Alethiometer of the movie can provide a trained user with the answer to any question. That’s got to come in handy at pub quizzes.

Real World Equivalent: An iPhone.

Might want to get a case to go with it if, like Lyra, you're planning a trip to the North Pole, though.

The Film: Wall-E (2008)

The Present: The last plant on Earth.

Why Your Other Half Would Love it: If she’s a girl, it’s A) technically flowers and B) ultra-rare, so she can brag about it.

Real World Equivalent: While flowers are easy to come by, you have to somehow make sure the ones you give are the last on Earth.

That would mean destroying every other plant on the planet. Best set about forming that mega-corporation quick...

Look, just get some roses, all right?
