So i work at this summer camp for , well, the summer, and we have this fruity little game where everyone picks the name of a coworker and has to secretly, throughout the summe,r give them small gifts. I have no idea what to give my person as i do not really know him. All i know is that he is homosexual, an acrobat and that he loves theater. I'd appreciate any gift ideas.

Price range?

Oriental Trading Company - (www.otc.com -- I think) has tons of really inexpensive themed type gifts - you might find some inspiration there...

I'd say "get him a soundtrack to a Broadway musical" ....but he probably has the sound track to the ones he likes....

...Gift certificates always work

Sounds like you need more than one gift -- sometimes my brain scares me...

he likes theater- that might be a theme to work with.....

Starting with Musical Theater...

A small jar of candies (suckers) with the lyrics from the song
"There is a sucker born every minute" from Barnum

Depending on how many gifts you need - you could probably find something from a lot of musicals

A calendar
with the lyrics- -Try to remember (the kind of September...)-- from the Fantasticks..
