If your girlfriend enjoys improv theater, there are plenty of thoughtful and creative gift ideas you can consider for Valentine's Day that cater to her passion. Here are a few suggestions to help inspire your gift-giving process:

1. Improv Workshop: Surprise your girlfriend with a gift certificate or tickets to an improv workshop or class. This will not only enhance her skills but also provide an opportunity for her to connect with other improv enthusiasts and expand her theater network.

2. Improv Theater Tickets: Find out what upcoming improv shows or performances are happening in your area and plan a special date night. Take her to see a live improv show, as experiencing the energy and spontaneity of live theater can be incredibly inspiring for theater lovers.

3. Improv Books: Consider adding some resources to her improv library. There are several books available that delve into the art of improvisation, providing insights, exercises, and techniques. Look for well-known titles such as "Improvisation for the Theater" by Viola Spolin or "Truth in Comedy" by Del Close and Charna Halpern.

4. Improv Games: Surprise her with a set of improv games designed for practicing improvisational skills. Games like "The Game of Things" or "The Random Words Improv Game" can serve as fun and entertaining activities for her and her friends to enjoy during improv gatherings.

5. Improv Apparel: Help her showcase her love for improv theater by gifting her with improv-themed clothing or accessories. Look for t-shirts, hoodies, or accessories featuring quotes from famous improvisers or images representing improv theater. This way, she can wear her passion proudly.

6. Improv Journal: Inspire her creativity and personal growth by giving her a journal specifically designed for improv. Look for a journal that includes prompts, exercises, and space for her to reflect on her improv experiences, ideas, and character development.

7. Improv Inspired Art: Commission a custom piece of art that embodies the essence of improv theater. Work with a local artist to create a painting, sculpture, or mixed media piece that captures the energy and spirit of improv. This unique gift will serve as a constant reminder of her love for the art form.

8. Improv Documentary or Film: Surprise her with a DVD or streaming subscription to a documentary or film that explores the world of improv. For example, "Trust Us, This is All Made Up" follows improv legends TJ and Dave, giving insight into their creative process and the power of improv.

Remember, the key to a meaningful gift is to show that you've put thought into selecting something that aligns with her interests. By choosing a gift that celebrates her passion for improv theater, you're not only giving her a thoughtful present but also supporting her artistic pursuits.

Or you can get her a star map with the date of your first kiss.
