Five Star Gift Ideas

If your mom enjoys lockpicking, here are a few gift ideas that she’s sure to love:

1. A lockpicking set: The most obvious gift idea is a set of high-quality lockpicks. Look for a set that includes a variety of picks and tension wrenches, and make sure they’re made from durable materials. Handmade sets are always a good choice, as they tend to be of higher quality and more unique than mass-produced sets.

2. A lockpicking book: Another great gift for a lockpicking enthusiast is a book on the subject. Consider "Practical Lock Picking: A Physical Penetration Tester's Training Guide" by Deviant Ollam or "Lockpicking Detail Overkill" by Solomon Minchip.

3. A lockpicking workshop: Many cities have lockpicking workshops where people can learn new skills and techniques. Find a workshop in your mom’s area and offer to pay for her attendance.

4. Custom lockpicks: If you really want to spoil your mom, consider having a set of custom lockpicks made just for her. Think about what she likes (e.g., favorite colors or patterns) and have the picks made to reflect those preferences.

5. A set of practice locks: As with any skill, the best way to get better at lockpicking is to practice. Purchase a set of practice locks (sometimes called “trainer locks”) so your mom can hone her skills in a safe and controlled environment. There are many options available online.

6. Lockpicking challenge kit: Channel your inner MacGyver with a lockpicking challenge kit that allows you to create various locks from everyday objects such as padlocks, door handles or bike chains.

7. Subscription to a lockpicking club: There are many lockpicking clubs and communities online where people can connect with others who share their passion. Purchase a subscription or a membership to one of them for your mom.

Whatever gift you choose, your mom will be able to enjoy the thrill of lockpicking and the challenge of honing her skills with your thoughtful and personal gift.

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