If there’s someone on your gift list who loves this movie, consider giving them one of these festive favorites and start a new tradition:


The It’s a Wonderful Life Lands’ End(R) Limited Edition Snow Globe captures the touching finale of this holiday film when George Bailey with his family and friends gather around the Christmas tree. The wind-up musical base plays “Auld Lang Syne.” This limited edition piece is numbered on the base and is only available this holiday season. 2007 marks the fifth season Lands’ End has offered its customers an exclusively themed snow globe. “Snow globes are a traditional gift that delights everyone of all ages,” said Fitzgerald. “The It’s a Wonderful Life Snow Globe is a perfect gift for those hard-to-shop-for people on your list.”


Themed with actual scenes from the movie, Lands’ End’s It’s a Wonderful Life Train, produced by Lionel — the legendary train manufacturer — is an O Gauge Train Set. Each boxcar has operating doors and features scenes from the film. Following faithfully behind is a traditional red caboose. Perfect for collectors, this limited edition train comes with a certificate of authenticity. The It’s a Wonderful Life Train is a gift that will be enjoyed for years — families can start a new tradition by setting the train up around the Christmas tree!

It’s a Wonderful Life is one of the most popular movies ever — some interesting trivia about the movie:

  — Two of Sesame Street’s most famous characters, Bert and Ernie, share
their names with the police officer and cab driver in the film, but
this is said to be just a coincidence.
— Uncle Billy’s raven, named Jimmy, appeared in all of director Frank
Capra’s movies.
— Despite being set around Christmas, it was filmed during a heat wave.
It got to be so hot that Frank Capra gave everyone a day off to
recuperate.
