Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves attending theatrical plays and musicals, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that can enhance his passion and provide memorable experiences. Consider the following options:

1. Theater Tickets: Surprise your son with tickets to a show he hasn't seen yet or to the performance of his favorite musical. You can choose a local theater production or even plan a trip to a renowned theater district such as Broadway in New York City or West End in London.

2. Behind-the-Scenes Tour: If your son is curious about what happens behind the curtains, consider arranging a behind-the-scenes tour of a theater. This could include a guided tour where he can explore backstage areas, learn about set designs, costumes, and even meet some actors or crew members to gain a deeper understanding of the production process.

3. Theater Workshop or Class: If your son has expressed interest in furthering his skills or learning more about theater, enrolling him in a theater workshop or class can be a fantastic gift. Look for local drama schools or performing arts centers that offer workshops focused on acting, singing, dancing, or even stage management. These classes can provide him with valuable knowledge and practical experience.

4. Books and Script Collections: Expand your son's theater library by gifting him books on various aspects of theater, such as historical accounts, biographies of theater legends, or collections of scripts. This can help deepen his understanding of the art form and ignite new ideas and perspectives.

5. Theater Memorabilia: Consider getting your son some theater memorabilia, such as posters, programs, or signed merchandise, from his favorite shows. These can be excellent additions to his room decor or cherished keepsakes that remind him of the shows he has enjoyed.

6. Musical Instrument: If your son is interested in music, consider gifting him a musical instrument like a keyboard, guitar, or ukulele. Learning to play an instrument can enhance his appreciation for musicals and may even lead to opportunities for involvement in local theater productions.

7. Soundtrack Collection: Collecting soundtracks from different musicals can be a delightful gift for a theater enthusiast. Compile a curated selection of CDs or digital playlists featuring the best songs from a range of shows or his favorite productions. This will allow him to enjoy his favorite musical numbers whenever he wants.

8. DIY Theater Kit: Create a DIY theater kit that includes items like play scripts, props, and costume pieces. This gift will enable your son to explore his creativity by putting on his own small productions at home with family and friends.

Remember that the most meaningful and personal gift is one that aligns with your son's passions and interests. By choosing a gift related to his love for theatrical plays and musicals, you will show him that you understand and support his enthusiasm for the art form.

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.”
