Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for aerial silks and acrobatics, there are plenty of thoughtful and meaningful gift options that will support and enhance his interests. Here are some ideas that he is sure to appreciate:

1. Aerial Silks Kit: Consider getting him his very own aerial silks kit. This will allow him to practice and improve his skills at home. Look for a kit that includes high-quality fabric, carabiners, and rigging equipment, ensuring his safety during practice.

2. Acrobatics Classes: Treat him to some acrobatics classes or workshops with a professional instructor. This could be a great opportunity for him to learn new techniques, perfect his skills, and meet other like-minded individuals in the acrobatics community.

3. Performance Videos or DVDs: If your son enjoys watching and analyzing performances, consider gifting him some DVDs or online streaming subscriptions to aerial silks shows, performances, or documentaries. This can provide him with inspiration and a chance to learn from the best in the field.

4. Training Equipment: Help him take his training to the next level by providing him with some specialized training equipment. This could include grip gloves, ankle weights, resistance bands, or grip strength trainers. These items can assist in building strength, flexibility, and overall conditioning.

5. Inspiring Books: Look for books written by experienced aerialists and acrobats that share their journeys, experiences, and techniques. These books can provide valuable insights, inspiration, and guidance for your son's own practice.

6. Personalized Gym Bag: A customized gym bag with his name or a motivational quote related to aerial silks or acrobatics can be a practical yet personalized gift option. He can use it to store and transport his equipment and gear to and from his training sessions.

7. Performance Costume: Collaborate with a local seamstress or costume designer to create a unique and eye-catching performance costume for him. This gift will not only make him feel special but also serve as a symbol of support for his passion.

8. GoPro or Action Camera: Help him capture his performances and training sessions with a GoPro or an action camera. This will allow him to analyze his technique, share his progress with others, and create memorable videos that he can watch and cherish for years to come.

9. Aerial Silks Knotting Guide: Consider gifting him a detailed knotting guidebook specifically for aerial silks. This resource will help him understand different knotting techniques and sequences to create visually stunning and safe routines.

10. Supportive Subscription or Membership: Look for subscriptions or memberships to online platforms or communities dedicated to aerial silks and acrobatics. These platforms often include tutorials, workshops, and forums where he can connect with other aerialists, seek guidance, and expand his knowledge.

Remember, choosing a gift that aligns with your son's passion for aerial silks and acrobatics shows that you support his interests and believe in his abilities. The thoughtfulness behind your gift will undoubtedly make it even more special and meaningful to him.

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

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
