Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys LARPing, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that connect to his passion for this immersive role-playing experience. Here are a few suggestions that might put a smile on his face this Christmas:

1. Custom Costume or Armor: LARPers love to create and wear unique costumes that bring their characters to life. Consider commissioning a custom-made armor piece or costume tailored to his favorite character or concept. This gift will show your support for his creative expression while helping him stand out during his LARP adventures.

2. LARP Weapons: LARPers often use foam or latex weapons during their battles. Surprise him with a new weapon to add to his arsenal. Whether it's a battleaxe, sword, or bow and arrow, research high-quality and safe LARP weapons that match his preferred character type or fighting style.

3. LARPing Gear and Accessories: LARPers can never have enough gear! Think about practical items that enhance his overall experience, like a high-quality camping tent for overnight events, a durable and spacious backpack for carrying essentials, or even a custom-designed LARP-specific dice set.

4. LARP Rulebooks and Literature: Help your son dive deeper into the world of LARPing by gifting him rulebooks, guidebooks, and other literature related to his favorite game system or genre. These resources can expand his knowledge, inspire new character ideas, and enhance his overall gameplay.

5. LARP Workshops or Events: Look for LARP workshops, boot camps, or immersive events in your area. By gifting your son the opportunity to participate in such events, you provide him with the chance to meet like-minded individuals, learn new techniques, and immerse himself in elaborate scenarios.

6. LARP-themed Artwork: Seek out talented artists who specialize in fantasy or LARP-themed artwork. A unique art piece featuring his favorite LARP characters or iconic elements from his preferred game can become a cherished decoration for his room and a testament to his passion.

7. LARP-inspired Fiction: If your son enjoys reading, hunt down fantasy novels or books inspired by LARP games. This gift not only acknowledges his love for LARPing but also provides him with additional inspiration for his own storytelling and character development.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is letting your son know that you support and value his interests. By choosing a thoughtful gift that relates to his love for LARPing, you will demonstrate your understanding of what makes him happy and ultimately make this Christmas season extra special 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.”
