Unique Gifts: Gerard Butler Movie Props
Oh, I know Gerard Butler has no connection to Jane Austen film adaptations other than that he should play one of her heroes. Colonel Brandon would suit his rugged Scottish looks, as would Mr. Knightley.
On this site, Premiere Props, you can purchase props and clothes used in films, like Gerry Butler's shirt and pants in The Ugly Truth.
For a little less than $900, you can purchase this tiny token of Hollywood magic.
If a shirt is not personal enough, how about his boxer shorts from P.S. I Love You? American Eagle sold them for $12.50. But since Gerry wore these, they (and the shirt) sell for a bargain price of one penny short of $2,000.
Do you like our holiday gift suggestions so far? Stay tuned, for we aim to show you more unusual gift ideas designed to please the connoisseur with a sense of humor AND a fat pocketbook.

Observe this beautiful Georgian era creamer.
