Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who loves attending theater shows, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that would make his Christmas extra special. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. Theater Tickets: Explore upcoming theater shows in your area and surprise him with tickets to a performance of his favorite show or a new production he'd be interested in. This gift not only allows him to enjoy the magic of live theater, but also gives him an experience to look forward to.

2. Playbill Subscription: Many avid theater fans love collecting playbills from the shows they attend. Consider getting your son a subscription to a playbill service, where he will receive a monthly or quarterly delivery of playbills from various shows. This gift not only allows him to keep a piece of his favorite shows, but also gives him the chance to discover new ones.

3. Theater Memorabilia: If your son has a favorite show or theater actor, consider gifting him memorabilia related to that show or actor. This could be a signed poster, a limited edition program, or even a prop from the show. It would be a truly personalized gift that he can cherish for years to come.

4. Theater Workshop or Class: If your son is interested in learning more about theater, consider enrolling him in a theater workshop or class. This gift would provide him with the opportunity to enhance his acting skills, learn about different aspects of theater, and meet other theater enthusiasts.

5. Theater-themed Books or DVDs: There are a plethora of books and DVDs available that delve into the world of theater. From biographies of famous actors to behind-the-scenes documentaries of iconic productions, these gifts allow your son to explore the history and impact of theater from the comfort of his own home.

6. Theater-related Merchandise: Surprise your son with some theater-related merchandise such as t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, or keychains featuring his favorite shows or theater quotes. Not only will this gift allow him to show off his love for theater, but it will also remind him of the joy he experiences when attending shows.

7. Theater-inspired Artwork: Commission or purchase a piece of artwork that captures the essence of theater. This could be a painting, a sketch, or even a photograph of a theater marquee or stage. The artwork can serve as a beautiful and meaningful decoration for his room or living space.

In the end, the best gift for your theater-loving son is one that shows your understanding and support for his passion. Whether it's an experience, a personalized item, or something to enhance his knowledge and appreciation of theater, the thought and effort put into the gift will surely make this Christmas memorable for him.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“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.”
