Five Star Gift Ideas

For a dad who loves playing the ukulele and has a passion for 86, I have a few gift ideas that might be perfect for him this Christmas. Here are some options:

1. Customized Ukulele Pick: Consider getting a personalized ukulele pick made just for your dad. You can engrave his name, favorite song lyrics, or even a small design related to 86 on the pick. Not only will this be a practical gift, but it will also add a special touch to his playing experience.

2. Ukulele Songbook: Help your dad expand his repertoire with a ukulele songbook. Look for one that includes songs from the 86 era, such as classic hits or iconic tunes. This gift will inspire him to explore new songs and improve his ukulele skills while reminiscing about his favorite era.

3. Ukulele Accessories: Every musician appreciates having quality accessories. Consider purchasing a set of new ukulele strings or a tuner personalized with your dad's initials or his favorite band's logo. Additionally, a ukulele case or gig bag with an 86-themed design would not only protect his instrument but also showcase his passion whenever he takes it outside.

4. Concert Tickets: Find out if there are any upcoming concerts or gigs by artists from the 86 era, whether it's a solo ukulele show or a band that incorporates the ukulele in their performances. Surprise your dad with tickets to experience live music from his favorite time. It will not only create a memorable night but also provide him with inspiration for his own ukulele playing.

5. Music Memorabilia: If your dad is a fan of a particular musician or band from 86, consider gifting him some music memorabilia. It could be a vintage vinyl record, a signed poster, or even a limited edition album. You can search for these items online or look for local stores specializing in music collectibles.

6. Ukulele Lessons: Help your dad further enhance his ukulele skills by gifting him a set of ukulele lessons. Look for instructors who specialize in 86 era music or who can teach particular songs from that period. This gift will not only improve his playing but also provide him with an opportunity to learn new techniques and connect with other ukulele enthusiasts.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows your dad how well you know him and his interests. Choose something that will not only enhance his ukulele playing but also bring back fond memories of 86.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
