Five Star Gift Ideas

When it comes to finding a meaningful and personal gift for your husband who is interested in capoeira and other martial arts, there are several options that can align with his passions and demonstrate your thoughtfulness.

1. Capoeira Training Equipment: Consider getting your husband some capoeira training equipment, such as a high-quality berimbau (a Brazilian musical bow used in capoeira), a pair of capoeira pants, or specialized capoeira shoes. These items would not only enhance his capoeira practice but also show your support for his passion.

2. Martial Arts Classes: Look for local martial arts studios that offer training in capoeira or other martial arts styles that he might be interested in. Gifting him a few months' worth of classes can provide an opportunity for him to further develop his skills, learn new techniques, and engage in a community of like-minded individuals.

3. Martial Arts Books or Media: Expand his knowledge and understanding of martial arts by gifting him books or media resources that delve into the history, philosophy, and techniques of capoeira and other martial arts. Some popular options include "Capoeira: A Brazilian Art Form: History, Philosophy, and Practice" by Bira Almeida, or classic martial arts films like "Enter the Dragon" or "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

4. Capoeira Musical Instruments: If your husband has an interest in capoeira music, consider giving him a musical instrument commonly used in capoeira, such as the pandeiro (a Brazilian tambourine), a reco-reco (a bamboo scraper), or an agogô (a double bell). These instruments can add a fun and dynamic element to his capoeira practice and allow him to explore his musical talents.

5. Customized Martial Arts Gear: Give your husband a personalized gift by getting his martial arts gear customized with his name, initials, or a meaningful phrase. This could include a martial arts uniform, gloves, or shin guards. Not only will this make his gear more unique and special, but it will also show that you pay attention to his interests and support his dedication to martial arts.

6. Martial Arts Retreat or Workshop: Surprise your husband with a trip to a capoeira or martial arts retreat or workshop. These events often bring together top instructors and practitioners from around the world, providing an immersive experience where he can learn, train, and connect with fellow enthusiasts. It would be a gift he'll remember for a lifetime.

Remember, the most important element in choosing a gift is to consider your husband's specific interests and needs. By selecting a present that aligns with his passion for capoeira and martial arts, you'll demonstrate your support and thoughtfulness, making his birthday truly special.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
