Five Star Gift Ideas

How wonderful that your grandson has found a passion for trapeze! It's always special to receive a gift that aligns with one's passions and interests. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas for your trapeze-loving grandson:

1. Trapeze Classes or Workshop: Consider gifting your grandson a few sessions of trapeze classes or a workshop. This will give him the chance to enhance his skills and further explore his passion. Look for local professional trapeze schools or circuses that offer classes and workshops catered to different age groups and skill levels.

2. Trapeze Equipment: If your grandson is at an intermediate or advanced level, he might appreciate having his own trapeze equipment. Depending on his skill level, you can consider gifting him aerial silks, a trapeze bar, or a trapeze rig that he can set up in a suitable space at home or in the yard. This will allow him to practice and experiment with different tricks and moves more frequently.

3. Books on Trapeze and Circus Arts: Explore the world of trapeze artistry with him by gifting books that provide insights into the history, techniques, and stories of famous trapeze artists. Look for books like "The Flying Trapeze: Three Crises in American Circuses" by Constance H. Crompton or "The Aerialist: A Novel" by Keith Rosson. These books will not only entertain him but also expand his knowledge about his beloved hobby.

4. Inspirational Documentary or Film: If your grandson enjoys watching movies or documentaries, consider gifting him a DVD or subscription to a streaming platform that has films or documentaries about trapeze and circus arts. Titles like "The Great Buck Howard" (2008) or "Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away" (2012) feature fantastic aerial acts that might inspire and entertain him.

5. Handmade Trapeze Charm or Necklace: For a more personal touch, consider finding a trapeze-themed charm or pendant. Look for handmade jewelry on platforms like Etsy or consider getting one custom made. This way, your grandson can wear his love for trapeze close to his heart and cherish the unique piece as a symbol of his passion.

6. Trapeze Artwork or Poster: Decorate his room or living space with trapeze-themed artwork or posters. Look for vibrant, high-quality prints of trapeze artists in mid-air or circus-themed illustrations. You can even consider commissioning a local artist to create a customized art piece highlighting your grandson's name or initials to make it more personal.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is the sentiment behind it. Your thoughtful choice to support your grandson's love for trapeze will surely be appreciated and cherished.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
