All the Gifts

What should I get for my friends and family? Would they even like any of this stuff? These are a few things people think when looking for gifts for family and friends at the Renaissance Festival. Most people that get gifts from the festival, expect them to be unique. So no matter what you get them, they will most likely appreciate it because they know this is the kinds of things you find there.

Here are some of the things you will most likely give away as a gift:

     1) An ankle bracelet would be perfect. Who wouldn't want one, even if it has a slight Renaissance style to it.

     2) A mug. There are many different types of mugs to choose from. Ceramic and wood are the main material options, but form there, the styles are far and wide. They go from shot glass, to the biggest mug you will ever see!

     3) Food. More specifically, kettle corn. This one of the safest and cheapest options out there. However, not everyone likes popcorn, so be sure to check first.

    4) A waxed rose is also a pretty easy and cheap gift. This was actually what I bought for my sister because she loves roses! Who doesn't love a beautiful waxed rose?

     5) Go to a gift shop stand. They usually have T-shirts and other options that anyone would love to have. This would be the safest option you will find when finding 'normal' stuff.

Even if you don't think your friend or family won't like some of the options, just remember that they are part of the experience. Maybe even pull a joke and give someone a stick from the ground. See if they laugh before handing them whatever you get, then they might appreciate it even more!
