Getting Personal

                Perfect Presents for Princes of Pop
            
                Let's face it, most boys spent their younger (and older!) years dreaming about becoming either footballers, racing car drivers, astronauts - or pop stars!

The lure of fame, fortune, world-wide travel - not to mention hordes of adoring fans... yes it's no wonder that the lure of pop stardom never quite wanes! So why not give in to his dreams - even if he can barely hold a note - and rustle up some musical themed gifts for him! Who knows, he may even give you the honorary position of his 'Number 1 fan'...

Burn the track!

The first step in any budding pop star's career is the first single....so send him down to the recording studio with this amazing voice recording experience! He'll get the chance to sing his favourite track, and be given expert guidance on getting the most out of his voice. A professional sound engineer will help him select a backing track, sort out the equipment and discuss the important 'project' at hand. After preparation worthy of the 'next big thing', your own Prince of Pop will get to start his recording session! Vocals are added last, and there may even be time to record a mix and add some refining touches!

Plan the tour!

No doubt after the single recording session, he'll want to plan the inevitable tour dates in. So suitable gifts for him might include the fantastic 'X Factor' personalised calendar - with each month's high quality themed print (headphones, screaming hordes, platinum discs etc) featuring your star's very own name! Just make sure he doesn't bump Sunday tea with Great Aunt Val, 'just in case' his agent calls...

Waiting for 'the call'

It may take a while for recording contracts to come winging in, so let him relax in style while he waits. Gifts for him could include a personalised gig poster mug, or decorate the home in homage to his impending fame with some personalised prints - such as the fantastic drum kit print, featuring his name, or the 'world tour' print, designed to show his name in a high-quality A4 or A3 print.... it may not be reality just yet, but who knows what the power of positive thinking may bring...

Alternatively, look ahead to the time when artists will clamour to immortalise his image, with a Warhol style pop-print featuring his very own picture! Just email a good snap of your wonder boy looking all edgy and cool, and the genius techie whizz-kids will transform it into a real work of art! 

Facing his public

He'll need to look good to face his fans (although his boss might disagree if Pop Prince keeps rolling into the office late, wearing rockstar shades and moaning about his creative integrity...) so good gifts for him could include a personalised star dressing room print, to keep the 'little people' out of his room while he fancies himself up - no doubt you'll be allowed in to clean though. He may also enjoy a cold drink while styling his hair - allowed after 10am for real rockstars - jazzed up with some funky little guitar shaped ice-cubes! And for the ultimate in pop star high-living, treat him to his very own personalised champagne - featuring his name and an image of a drum kit, this champagne is a top-quality mix of 'premier cuvee' Menuier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and will surely be the first of many superior drinks created entirely in your budding popstar's honour!

Fame and fortune!

Finally, he'll want to admire the fruits of his hard labour and excessive talents (!) with an amazing 12-inch Gold Disc! For years the preserve of the most successful musicians, now gifts for him can even include an amazing replica gold disc for your very own icon! He can choose his own artist or song as inspiration and it comes presented in an aluminium frame, mounted on his chosen colour, and a personalised message can be added, so it really is a gift to treasure for a lifetime. It will look lovely in the hallway, where he can point it out to all visiting postmen, milkmen, Avon ladies etc at every opportunity (perfect for getting rid of those doorstep salespeople...)

All in all, these fabulous music-inspired gifts for him will truly help ease his way onto a path of superstardom and fame... and even if he doesn't quite make it into the hall of worldwide music fame, he'll at least see from the time and care you've put into this special selection of gifts that he'll always be a superstar in your eyes regardless!
