Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys planning and hosting themed parties, there are many gift options that would enhance his passion and help him create memorable events. Here are a few ideas:

1. Party Planning Book: Invest in a comprehensive party planning guidebook that covers various themes, decoration ideas, menu planning, and game suggestions. This will not only provide him with inspiration but also help him develop his skills and creativity in organizing themed parties.

2. Themed Party Decorations: Surprise him with a collection of themed decorations that can be used for different party themes. It could include props, banners, balloons, and table centerpieces specific to his favorite themes. This would make his party planning tasks easier and more enjoyable.

3. Costume Collection: Help him expand his collection of costumes by gifting him accessories or full costumes for different themes. Having a range of costumes on hand would enable him to fully immerse his guests into the themed atmosphere and make his parties more exciting.

4. Bartending Kit: If he enjoys creating signature cocktails for his parties, consider getting him a professional bartending kit. This could include cocktail shakers, mixology tools, recipe books, and unique glassware to elevate his mixology skills and take his parties to the next level.

5. Event Planning Course: Enroll him in an online event planning course or workshop to further enhance his skills and knowledge in organizing themed parties. This would provide him with professional insights, tips, and techniques to make his events even more successful, and it could be a valuable asset if he wishes to pursue event planning as a career in the future.

6. Quality Speakers or Sound System: Music plays a significant role in setting the ambiance of a party. Upgrade his sound system with high-quality speakers or a portable sound system, enabling him to create the perfect playlist and have clear and powerful sound at his parties.

7. Personalized Party Planner: Create a customized party planner or organizer for him. Set it up with sections for different themes, checklists, to-do lists, and contact pages. This thoughtful and practical gift would assist him in staying organized and keeping track of all the details involved in planning his themed parties.

8. Subscription to Party Magazines: Sign him up for a subscription to popular party or event planning magazines. These publications often provide creative ideas for themes, tips from professional planners, and detailed party inspiration pages. He can use them as a reference for his upcoming parties and draw inspiration from the latest trends.

9. Themed Cooking or Baking Classes: If he enjoys preparing food for his parties, gift him cooking or baking classes specializing in different cuisines or pastry artistry. This would enable him to learn new techniques and recipes, and add unique culinary experiences to his themed parties.

10. Experience Vouchers: Surprise him with experience vouchers for themed events or workshops. These could include murder mystery dinners, escape rooms, mixology classes, or even outdoor adventure activities like treasure hunts. This would give him the opportunity to experience different themed events firsthand and gain new ideas and inspiration for his future parties.

Remember, when choosing a gift, try to align it with his specific interests and needs as an aspiring party planner. By doing so, you will not only show your support for his passion but also encourage him to continue pursuing it and creating memorable experiences for his guests.

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.”
