Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband, who loves learning and practicing improv comedy, I have a few gift ideas that I think he would truly appreciate.

1. Improv Workshop or Class: Consider enrolling him in an improv workshop or class. This would not only provide him with an opportunity to further develop his skills and learn new techniques, but also give him the chance to connect with fellow improv enthusiasts. Look for local theaters or improv schools that offer classes and workshops suitable for his level of experience.

2. Improv Books: Help him expand his knowledge by suggesting some great books on improv comedy. Some popular choices include "Truth in Comedy" by Charna Halpern and Del Close, "Impro" by Keith Johnstone, and "The Upright Citizens Brigade Comedy Improvisation Manual." These books offer valuable insights, exercises, and techniques to enhance his improv skills and understanding.

3. Improv Games: Surprise your husband with a collection of improv games. There are various sets available online that include cards with different scenarios or suggestions to spark creativity and improvisation. These games can be played with friends or even as a couple, allowing for enjoyable and spontaneous moments.

4. Improv Shows: Treat your husband to a night out by booking tickets to watch a professional improv show. It will give him an opportunity to observe seasoned performers in action, learn from their techniques, and get inspired. Research local theaters or improv troupes in your area to find shows that align with his interests.

5. Personalized Improv Journal: Consider getting him a personalized improv journal where he can jot down ideas, notes, and reflections on his improv journey. You can have his name or a funny improv-related message engraved on the cover to add a special touch. This will not only serve as a practical gift, but also show your support for his passion.

6. Improv Comedy Podcasts: There are several entertaining and educational improv comedy podcasts available that he might enjoy. They often feature interviews with experienced improvisers, discussions on improv theory, and provide insight into the comedy industry. Suggest a few popular podcasts for him to listen to while commuting or during his downtime.

7. Improv-themed Clothing or Accessories: Consider getting him a t-shirt, hoodie, or hat with a fun improv-related design or slogan. This gift will not only show off his love for improv comedy but also make a great conversation starter. Additionally, you can also look for accessories like pins or keychains that reflect his passion for this art form.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows your understanding and support for his passion. By incorporating his love for learning and practicing improv comedy into the gift, you will undoubtedly make his birthday extra special.

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

Burcin Dalkanat says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“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 :)”
