Five Star Gift Ideas

For your wife who enjoys taking improv classes, there are several thoughtful and personalized gift ideas that can enhance her passion and show your support for her hobby.

1. Improv Workshop or Class: Consider surprising her with a gift certificate for an improv workshop or class. It will not only provide her with further opportunities to explore and enhance her skills but also allow her to connect with like-minded individuals who share her passion. Check out local theaters or improv schools offering classes in your area.

2. Improv Books or DVD: Help expand her knowledge and understanding of improv techniques and theories by gifting her a book or DVD on the subject. Some popular titles include "Improvisation for the Theater" by Viola Spolin and "Truth in Comedy: The Manual of Improvisation" by Del Close and Charna Halpern. These resources will serve as valuable references for her future improv endeavors.

3. Improv Games and Card Decks: There are various card decks and board games available that are specifically designed to improve improvisational skills and creativity. Games like "The Genius of Play Spontuneous" or "Scattergories" encourage quick thinking, spontaneity, and teamwork. These games can provide her with hours of entertainment while honing her improvisation abilities.

4. Improv Accessories: Consider giving her improv-themed clothing or accessories such as t-shirts, hats, or tote bags that display witty slogans or inside jokes related to her improv passion. This will not only make her smile but also give her a sense of pride in her hobby.

5. Improv Journal or Notebook: Encourage your wife to reflect upon her improv experiences and jot down her ideas and inspirations with a dedicated journal or notebook. Choose one with a fun and creative cover that resonates with her improvisational spirit. This gift will serve as a personal space for her to track her progress, brainstorm new ideas, and document memorable moments from her improv classes.

6. Performance Tickets: Support her by attending improv shows together. Purchase tickets for performances by local improv groups or well-known improv theaters. It will not only expose her to different styles of improv but also provide an opportunity for both of you to enjoy an entertaining evening together.

7. Improv-themed Jewelry or Accessories: Show her your love and appreciation for her passion with a piece of jewelry or accessory inspired by improv. Consider a pendant or charm bracelet featuring comedy and theater-related symbols like comedy/tragedy masks, drama masks, or comedy/tragedy symbols. Alternatively, search for improv-inspired keychains, mugs, or phone cases that she can display with pride.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and effort you put into selecting something that aligns with her interests and hobbies. By choosing a gift that supports and enhances her love for improv, you will not only show your understanding of her passion but also deepen the connection between the two of you.

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

David Dickason says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“Ordered a map of the stars above us when my wife and I realized that we wanted a friendship to turn into something more - gave it to her yesterday (Valentine's Day) and got a most enthusiastic response. We are best pleased!”
