And if you’re the popcorn aficionado in question, go ahead and share this post with your family and friends as a not-so-subtle hint.

Let’s get right to it:

Stovetop Popcorn Popper

Your loved one might already have a popcorn maker, but it’s time for an upgrade!

Every popcorn lover deserves a popper that’s both functional and beautiful. That’s exactly what the Popsmith Popper is — a premium stainless steel stovetop popper designed to make a satisfying bowl of popcorn every time. It’s also dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze. 

And as you can see in the photo, it’s a kitchen tool they’ll display with pride. No wonder it made Oprah’s Favorite Things list for 2024!

Popcorn Kits

For a foolproof snacking experience, consider buying your popcorn-lovin’ friend or family member pre-measured popcorn making kits. 

As the name suggests, these have everything needed for perfectly portioned popcorn. Our Oh Sooo Buttery and Classic Kettle Popcorn Kits, for example, come with farm fresh kernels, 100% coconut oil (here’s why it’s the best oil for popping), and seasoning.

Popcorn Subscription

Give the gift that keeps on popping! A popcorn subscription means they'll never run out of their favorite snack. Plus, who wouldn't love receiving a delicious surprise in their mailbox every month?

GOOD TO KNOW: You save 15% off with every Popsmith subscription order (and you can modify or cancel it anytime). 

Popsmith Bundle ‘n Save

Customize your Popsmith popcorn gift set with our Bundle ‘n Save option. Choose your loved one’s favorite color and add as many popcorn kits as you want, whether they like sweet, savory, or both! The more kits you add, the more you save. 

Popcorn Balls

Nothing says “made with love” like homemade popcorn balls. These are so easy to make and taste amazing. You just need to pick a binding agent — peanut butter or marshmallows are good options — to shape the balls. For an extra special touch, wrap the popcorn balls in cellophane and tie ribbons to secure them. 

Homemade Popcorn Mix

Besides popcorn, what else does your loved one like snacking on? Peanut M&M’s? Sour Patch Kids, maybe? Combine all of their faves together and make a popcorn mix. This is another custom popcorn gift idea that will make you one of their favorite people ever.

Popcorn Bucket

Popcorn buckets are quite the collectibles these days! From limited-edition Disney Park exclusives to the latest movie tie-ins, you’ll have no problem finding one a popcorn enthusiast will love. The best part? They’ll think of you every time they use their bucket for movie night. 

Popcorn Seasonings

If your loved one already has enough popcorn kernels to last a year, get them a popcorn gift set full of seasonings instead. Now you can’t go wrong with classics like butter or white cheddar, but you can also surprise them with options like truffle salt, furikake, and honey sriracha. 

Movie Night Care Package

Movie nights at home will never be the same with this care package, or what we consider the ultimate popcorn gift! Start with a Popper and two pre-measured popcorn kits as the centerpiece, then add:

  • A huge serving bowl or popcorn bucket
  • Cozy blanket
  • Hot chocolate or their go-to movie refreshment
  • Their favorite candy and chocolate
  • Streaming service gift card
