Five Star Gift Ideas

When it comes to finding a heartfelt and meaningful gift for your son who is passionate about roller derby and roller skating, there are plenty of options that will align perfectly with his interests. By considering his hobbies, you can choose a gift that will not only bring him joy, but also show him how much you care.

1. Roller Derby Gear: As a roller derby enthusiast, your son may already have some basic gear, but adding something new to his collection would be a great idea. Consider getting him a high-quality helmet, elbow and knee pads, or wrist guards. Look for gear that matches his style and preferences to make it truly personal and special.

2. Roller Skates: Upgrading your son's roller skates can make a fantastic gift. Research different brands and designs that offer comfort, durability, and performance. Look for skates that are tailored for roller derby or have features that meet the specific needs of this sport, such as good ankle support and responsive wheels.

3. Customized Skate Bag: A custom-made skate bag can be a practical and thoughtful gift. Look for a bag that has compartments for storing skate accessories like tools, wheels, and spare parts. Customize the bag with your son's name, team logo, or a design that reflects his unique style.

4. Roller Derby Merchandise: Show support for his passion by gifting him some official merchandise from his favorite roller derby team. This could include team jerseys, T-shirts, hoodies, or even accessories like keychains or stickers. Not only will he appreciate this gesture, but it will also allow him to proudly display his love for roller derby.

5. Roller Derby Tickets: Surprise him with tickets to a roller derby event. Check local listings for upcoming tournaments or even consider traveling to attend a larger event. Spending time with him at a live match will not only make for a memorable experience, but it will also show your support for his hobby.

6. Roller Derby Workshop or Classes: Consider enrolling your son in a roller derby workshop or classes. This could be a great opportunity for him to improve his skills, learn from professionals, and meet other roller derby enthusiasts. Look for programs that cater to different skill levels so that it aligns with your son's current abilities.

7. Roller Derby Books or Movies: If your son enjoys reading or watching movies, look for roller derby-themed books or films to add to his collection. This can be a great way for him to immerse himself in the sport even when he's not on the track. Some popular options include "Roller Girl" by Victoria Jamieson or the documentary "Hell on Wheels."

Remember, the best gift is one that is tailored to your son's preferences and interests. By choosing a roller derby-themed gift, you are not only showing your support, but also encouraging him to continue pursuing his passion. Whatever you decide, the thought and effort you put into finding a gift that aligns with his hobbies will surely make it a meaningful Christmas present.

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.”
