Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who loves learning and performing circus arts like juggling or aerial silks, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gifts you can consider this Christmas. These gifts will not only encourage his passion for circus arts but also help enhance his skills and enjoyment in this field. Here are some ideas:

1. Juggling Set: A high-quality juggling set can be a perfect gift for your son to improve his juggling skills. Look for a set that includes different types of juggling balls or props, such as scarves or rings. This will allow him to learn and practice with different techniques and styles.

2. Aerial Silks or Trapeze Rig: If your son is particularly into aerial silks, consider investing in a portable aerial rig or a set of aerial silks. This will give him the opportunity to practice and perform at home or in different spaces. Ensure the rig or silks meet safety requirements and are suitable for his skill level.

3. Workshop or Class: Enrolling your son in a professional workshop or class can be a fantastic gift idea. Look for local circus schools or studios that offer courses in juggling, aerial silks, or other circus arts. This will allow him to learn from experienced instructors and possibly meet other like-minded performers.

4. Circus Equipment Bag: Help your son organize his circus props and equipment with a durable and spacious circus equipment bag. Look for one that is specifically designed for circus performers and has multiple compartments to keep his juggling balls, diabolo, poi, or aerial silks neatly organized.

5. Performance Costume or Outfit: Consider getting your son a personalized performance costume or outfit that reflects his style and personality. It could be a unique leotard for aerial silks performances or colorful and vibrant clothing for juggling shows. This will not only make him feel confident on stage but also add an extra touch of professionalism to his performances.

6. Inspirational Books or DVDs: Help your son deepen his knowledge and understanding of circus arts with inspirational books or documentaries featuring renowned circus artists. Look for books that provide insights into different circus disciplines or introduce him to the history and evolution of circus arts.

7. Supportive Accessories: There are several accessories that can enrich your son's circus journey. Consider gifting him safety mats to ensure a safe practice environment or grip aids for aerial silks to improve his grip and prevent slipping. Additionally, supportive accessories like hand exercisers or massage balls can be beneficial for his hand and arm strength.

Remember, the most important aspect of your gift is that it shows your support and encouragement for his passion. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests and helps him pursue his love for circus arts, you are not only providing a meaningful present but also nurturing his talent and creating lasting memories.

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

“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.”
