Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys role-playing in live action events, there are several gift ideas that can enhance his passion and provide him with a memorable experience. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Tickets to a Live Action Role-Playing (LARP) Event: Consider gifting your son tickets to a popular LARP event or convention in your area. This will give him the opportunity to immerse himself in a world of fantasy and interact with other enthusiasts who share his interests.

2. Custom Costumes or Props: Help fuel your son's creativity and passion by gifting him custom-made costumes or props that he can use during his role-playing adventures. Whether it's a handmade medieval knight's armor or a magical staff, personalized items will add excitement to his gameplay.

3. Subscription to LARP Magazines or Online Communities: Encourage your son's involvement in the LARP community by subscribing him to LARP-specific magazines or online communities. These platforms provide access to a wealth of resources, tutorials, and forums where he can connect with other enthusiasts, share experiences, and gain new ideas.

4. Role-Playing Board Games: If your son enjoys role-playing but prefers playing in the comfort of his home, consider gifting him board games that emphasize storytelling and character development. Games like "Dungeons & Dragons" or "Gloomhaven" can provide hours of imaginative gameplay with friends or family.

5. Acting or Improv Classes: To further enhance your son's role-playing skills, consider enrolling him in acting or improv classes. These experiences can help him develop his character-building abilities, improvise on the spot, and improve his overall performance during live action events.

6. Fantasy Literature or Novels: Expand your son's knowledge and inspire his imagination by gifting him fantasy literature or novels. Books like J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" series or George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series can serve as a great source for character inspiration and world-building ideas.

7. Digital Character Art Commission: Commissioning a digital artist to create a personalized character portrait or artwork based on your son's favorite role-playing character can make for a truly unique and thoughtful gift. He can proudly display it on his wall or share it with his fellow role-playing enthusiasts.

8. Outdoor Camping Gear: If your son enjoys LARP events that take place in outdoor settings, gifting him camping gear can greatly enhance his experience. Consider items like a durable tent, a compact sleeping bag, or a portable cooking set, depending on his specific needs.

Remember that the most important aspect of gift-giving is understanding and acknowledging your son's hobbies and interests. By choosing a gift tailored to his love for role-playing in live action events, you are showing him that you value his passion and want to support his creative endeavors.

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.”
