Top 8 The Simpsons Gifts

1. The Simpsons Action Figures

Playmates released a slew of wonderful action figures from The Simpsons. When these figures are placed on Simpsons playsets, they even say quotes! Now even more companies have won licensing and are selling bobbleheads, bendables and more.

2. The Simpsons DVDs

Whether you buy complete seasons of The Simpsons, or a themed DVD such as "Treehouse of Horror," any fan with a DVD player would be happy to receive a Simpsons DVD as a gift. The extras included in the boxed sets, such as commentaries by Matt Groening, animatics and featurettes, make these gifts even more fun.

3. The Simpsons Games

Many classic board games are available in "The Simpsons" theme. You can also buy someone a "Simpsons" video game. "The Simpsons" Hit and Run is a lot of fun, and has received great reviews.

4. The Simpsons Clothing

Have fun giving t-shirts of Homer Simpson or boxer shorts displaying Duff beer.

5. The Simpsons Books and Guides

Novices and experts on The Simpsons will enjoy these books. The guides are packed with trivia and quotes. The more serious works, including The Gospel According to The Simpsons, raise The Simpsons to a higher form of learning.

6. The Simpsons Soundtracks

The Simpsons" has produced many memorable songs, such as "The Stonecutter Song" and "Mr. Plow." The songs are at times touching as well as funny. The songs on The Simpsons are usually composed by Alf Clausen.

7. The Simpsons Posters

Posters and prints are great gifts for college students, kids and anyone who wants their walls to look hip and funny. I highly recommend the full cast poster from "The Simpsons," which includes every character in Springfield. Another great poster is "The Simpsons" Mafia, which parodies "The Sopranos."

8. The Simpsons Calendars

Calendars are great gifts for holidays or birthdays that fall late in the year. You can choose from small desk calendars to large ones that hang on the wall. I recommend buying calendars with "Simpsons" quotes for fans.
