If you have a theatre geek in your household, you understand that theatre is a lifestyle. Theatre is everything. The only thing a they do or talk about involves theatre in one way or another.
If your schedule revolves around a rehearsal schedule no human being could survive, how are you supposed to figure out what to give your theatre geek this holiday season?
Give them gifts that encourage their creativity and show your support of their endeavors.
Top Ten Gift Ideas for Theatre Geeks:
1. Costumes
The best place to find costume pieces is at any thrift store. Look for dated pieces that are slightly larger than your theatre geek. This will allow them to tailor the pieces for the roles they wish to use them with.
Do not worry about the color, cut or pattern. These are just basic pieces they can fix the way they need them. When shopping for costume pieces, keep in mind that your theatre geek will be portraying regular people and regular clothing from different time periods is exactly what they need.
Don't forget accessories such as shoes, purses and hats.
2. Make-up
When it comes to stage make-up, there is only one choice. Ben Nye Makeup (www.bennyemakeup.com). Ben Nye is still working on their website, but you can download a copy of their catalog from their website. They are the professional choice for the theatre geek who enjoys make-up artistry.
3. Trunk or Storage Container
Having costumes at the high school or community theatre is not enough for a theatre geek. They need to have their own stash. Giving your theatre geek a place to put their stash is a fantastic gift.
Good ideas are trunks and plastic storage containers; however, if you find something with wheels on the bottom, that is your best option. They will not be simply filling this container and leaving it, they will be getting into it daily. To have wheels for easy access makes best sense.
4. Tackle or Tool Box
Make-up cases were not made for theatre geeks. They have too many different types of make-up to work with a standard make-up case. Besides the general stage make-up, theatre geeks who want to delve into make-up artistry need room for their special effects make-up.

My 16 year old daughter would be proud of this list. I have to hide it from her so that she does not know that I know what she really wants for Christmas is all this stuff! She says she doesn't read my stuff, so we'll see.
