Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who enjoys taking improv comedy classes, I have some meaningful and personal gift ideas that could enhance her passion and make her birthday truly special.

1. Improv Comedy Workshop: Give your granddaughter the opportunity to further explore her passion by enrolling her in an advanced improv comedy workshop or seminar. This will provide her with the chance to learn from professionals in the field and gain valuable insights and techniques to improve her skills.

2. Improv Comedy Books: A dedicated improviser can always benefit from expanding their knowledge. Consider gifting her a selection of improv comedy books written by well-known improvisers. Some popular titles include "Impro by Keith Johnstone," "Truth in Comedy by Del Close and Charna Halpern," and "The Upright Citizens Brigade Comedy Improvisation Manual." These books offer valuable insights, exercises, and tips for honing her improv skills.

3. Improv Comedy Games: Help your granddaughter keep her improv skills sharp with a set of improv comedy-oriented games. There are many board games and card games inspired by improv, such as "The Game of Things" or "Monikers." These games will not only provide entertainment but also offer opportunities to practice her quick thinking and improvisational abilities.

4. Improv Comedy DVDs: Expand her comedy horizons by gifting her DVDs of iconic improv comedy shows or movies. Classic improvisational TV shows like "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" or sketch comedy shows like "Saturday Night Live" can be a great source of inspiration and learning for any budding comedian.

5. Improv Comedy Festival Tickets: Keep an eye out for improv comedy festivals happening in your area or nearby cities and surprise your granddaughter with tickets to attend. These festivals often feature performances by renowned improv troupes, workshops, and networking opportunities, allowing her to connect with other improvisers and gain exposure to different styles and techniques.

6. Personalized Improv Comedy Diary: Encourage your granddaughter to document her improv journey and experiences by gifting her a personalized diary or journal. You can even include a personalized message or inspirational quote on the cover to make it more special. This will allow her to reflect on her progress, write down new ideas, and keep track of her improv lessons and performances.

7. Improv Comedy Apparel: Help her showcase her love for improv comedy by gifting her some fun and quirky improv-themed apparel. Look for t-shirts, hats, or hoodies with clever improv slogans or illustrations. This will not only make her feel proud of her passion but also serve as a conversation starter among fellow comedians.

Remember, the most important thing is to demonstrate your support and encouragement for her improv journey through your thoughtful and personalized gift.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
