Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves learning circus skills, I have a few gift ideas that will surely make him feel inspired and support his passion for the circus. These gifts will not only encourage his creativity and physical abilities but also add to his collection of circus props and equipment.

1. Juggling Set: A high-quality juggling set would be an ideal gift for your son. Look for a set that includes multiple juggling balls, clubs, or rings, as it will give him the opportunity to practice different juggling techniques and improve his skills. This will keep him engaged and motivated to explore various juggling patterns and tricks.

2. Acrobatics Training Equipment: To enhance his acrobatic skills, consider getting him training equipment such as a balance board, tumbling mat, or an aerial yoga hammock. These pieces of equipment will allow him to practice and develop his balance, flexibility, and strength at home or in a safe environment.

3. Trapeze Rigging and Swings: If your son has an interest in trapeze, he might appreciate a portable trapeze rigging set that he can install in his backyard or a nearby park with sturdy tree branches. Additionally, you can also consider gifting him a trapeze swing or even an aerial hoop, providing him with the opportunity to explore different elements of aerial arts.

4. Circus Workshop or Classes: Give your son the chance to learn from professionals by enrolling him in a circus workshop or classes. These can be either local or online, depending on what is available in your area. This gift will provide him with the opportunity to learn new skills, interact with fellow circus enthusiasts, and receive expert guidance to refine his existing abilities.

5. Circus Books and DVDs: If your son loves learning about circus history and the art of circus performance, consider gifting him books or DVDs that offer valuable insights. From instructional materials to biographies of famous circus performers, there are plenty of options available that can help him expand his knowledge and fuel his passion.

6. Circus-themed Clothing and Accessories: Help your son showcase his love for circus skills with clothing and accessories that reflect his passion. Look for t-shirts, hoodies, or hats featuring circus-themed designs, or find jewelry and keychains shaped like juggling balls or trapeze swings. These items will not only make him feel proud to be a circus enthusiast but also serve as conversation starters.

Regardless of which gift you choose, don't forget to show your support and encouragement for your son's passion. Celebrate his progress, attend his performances, and, if possible, consider organizing or attending a small circus-themed gathering with family and friends to further inspire his love for circus skills.

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.”
