'So You Think You Can Dance' Gift Ideas

One of the easiest ways to find ideas for Christmas presents and birthday gifts is to keep the interests of the giftee in mind. Although these gifts are usually appreciated, they sometimes get a little repetitive. As a dancer, I can't tell you how many times I've gotten leotards, leg warmers and lotion for my feet. Obviously, I'm happy to get these gifts, but I get really excited when I open up something more original. You can still use personal interests as a tool for finding gifts, but try to think outside of the box.

If you are looking for the perfect gift for a dancer, you should find out if he or she is into the TV show So You Think You Can Dance. From what I've seen, most dancers are ecstatic to receive SYTYCD gifts, especially if they have tired of getting the same old dance gifts again and again. This list of So You Think You Can Dance gifts will give you some creative new ideas.

1. So You Think You Can Dance T-shirt

Let your favorite dancer express his or her love of all things SYTYCD with this great dance gift. You can find a SYTYCD T-shirt with the show's logo on it, or a concert shirt with the locations and tour dates on the back. These shirts are nearly impossible to find at the mall, so I'd suggest getting one online.

2. So You Think You Can Dance Poster

Is there any better way to adorn the walls of a dancer's bedroom than with a huge So You Think You Can Dance poster? I didn't think so. My friend gave me a So You Think You Can Dance poster several years ago. It has graced every place I've lived, from my bedroom at home, to my two dorms rooms and a small apartment. A So You Think You Can Dance poster provides an easy way for a dancer to show off her passion to visitors.

3. So You Think You Can Dance Tour Tickets

Okay, so this dance gift is a lot more expensive than the ones listed above. But if you have money to spare, there is no better way to make your dancer's day than to provide tickets to the So You Think You Can Dance tour. The show highlights some of the best dances of the most recent season. It is important to get tickets for the So You Think You Can Dance tour well ahead of time, as seats sell out quickly. Look at it this way: if you give tickets as a dance gift, it'll give you an excuse to attend the So You Think You Can Dance tour alongside the giftee!
