Frank Sinatra / Rat Pack Gift Ideas

in Chit-Chat
A friend of mine is a massive Frank Sinatra & Rat Pack fan, she has 3 rats (don't know why!) and they're called Frank, Sammy & Dean but she just calls then the Rat Pack *face palm*.

With Christmas coming up, I want to get her something connected to this, I was wondering if anyone knew of any websites that I could look at for gifts? It would have to be in the UK unfortunately as buying from overseas would mean a delay in delivery and wouldn't want to risk not having it here in time.

Ideas would be welcomed, I know I could go for the usual CD's, Vinyls, Posters etc but want something that she wouldn't expect.

I appreciate this isn't really fitness related but thought I'd post here to look for suggestions, thanks, :smile:

    I wish I had an answer to those questions, I thought she was joking when she told me but she wasn't. Whenever I think of rats I think of Splinter from TMNT.

    Sinatra CD or original movie poster from ebay. If Sinatra is too pricey, try Dean or Sammy.

    I think I'll look at maybe a Sinatra poster and then put it in a nice frame for her, I'm the worst at buying presents for others :neutral_face:

    I was thinking the Celebrity Roasts box set.

    Depends on the friend...but you can get a stand-up made of her favorite - or the trio. Typically a stand-up costs about $10 US a foot.

    OR... you could get a singing telegram from an impersonator to surprise her with a song.

    Or...bring her to a speakeasy or some other place where they play the music she likes.

    You are NOT a terrible gift buyer! The fact that you are giving it this much thought proves that.

    Not sure if any of these are local to you, but it's a thing which exists.

    If the celebrity roasts weren't so pricey i would go with those. Do you know if she has any of the movies? You could look into a box set, Turner classic movies might have stuff too related to them.

    A bottle of Jack Daniels Sinatra Select. Bit pricey, but it's so good.

    That's excellent, don't know if she's aware of this but I'll definitely be looking into this as we leave near one of the locations, thank you, :smile:

    She bought herself this earlier on in the year otherwise would have potentially got this for her.

    Thank you so much for all the responses, definitely given me some ideas to look at. I'll post with what I've actually gone for.

    I've gone ahead and purchased some tickets to 'The Rat Pack Vegas Spectacular Tour' , because she works some evenings I've asked to her to make sure she's free as I want to take her out somewhere. I hope that she's able to get it off as I'd enjoy going to it also, :smile:
