Gifts for a Lover of Cheerleading
- There are a variety of cheerleading DVDs that the recipient could watch for pleasure or for inspiration for new cheerleading moves. The types of DVDs include demonstrations of stunts and cheers, how to improve on cheers, jumps and formations, and various dances to do on the sidelines or during the main performance. There are also cheerleading-based exercise DVDs. An additional option is to give DVDs of movies that are based on cheerleading.
- Purchase a mini table-top Christmas tree and completely cover it with cheerleading ornaments. One option is to make the ornaments using simple items such as unfinished flat wood ornaments, craft glue, ribbon and personal cheerleading pictures or those from a magazine. You can also purchase store-bought cheerleading ornaments.
- While performing, especially during televised competitions, cheerleaders wear quite a bit of makeup. Put together a portable makeup kit filled with all the necessities including bright pink or red lipstick, an eyeshadow palette, glitter body powder and glitter makeup. You can also include face stickers in the shapes of paw prints, lightning bolts and stars.
- There are several affordable cheerleading magazine available to give as gift subscriptions. Those who love cheerleading can read articles on topics such as how to get along better with the team, how to do specific jumps and makeup application tips for competitions. Before buying the subscription, check that the recipient doesn't already have it.
- Although some cheerleaders go to cheer camp as a team, many that don't. For someone who loves cheerleading, giving the gift of cheer camp can be an excellent learning experience. Cheer camps across the country have both day and overnight programs. Cheerleaders will learn a substantial amount of information including how to improve stunts, how to be safer while performing or practicing, dance choreography techniques and how to successfully complete a pyramid.
