1. Nutcracker Gift Boxes

Nutcracker-themed boxes are available October through March. Ballet boxes include a ballet lesson, costume pieces (including tutus), educational activities and items that will make your dancer feel special. It's a gift that will be remembered for years to come!

2. Nutcracker Ballet Book

Encourage a love of reading with a Nutcracker Ballet book. It's a great way for young dancers to learn more about the classic ballet.

My all-time favorite for kids age 3 to 9 is Ella Bella & The Nutcracker by James Mayhew. It weaves the story of The Nutcracker Ballet through the eyes of curious and compassionate Ella Bella, a young dancer who attends Madame Rosa's School of Dance. As Ella Bella opens the magical music box, she becomes a part of The Nutcracker Ballet, introducing young readers to the story of the ballet. Lovely illustrations keep kids engaged. You and your child will want to read this book over and over.

Price: $15. Order from your favorite book seller.

3. Ballet T-Shirt or T-Shirt Subscription

Your young dancer will feel like a true ballerina with Nutcracker-themed apparel.  Purchase a single tee or, as a creative alternative, gift your dancer a monthly ballet tee subscription. Dancers will be so proud to wear ballet-themed t-shirts wherever they go! 

Price for Single Shirts: $10-$35 plus shipping for single shirts on Etsy. Supports a small business. 

Price for T-Shirt Subscription: $25/month for a T-Shirt subscription from Ballet Inspiration Club (free shipping). Supports a small business. 

4. Nutcracker Jewelry

Add a touch of sparkle to the holidays with ballet-themed jewelry. From earrings shaped like ballet slippers to necklaces featuring Clara and the Nutcracker Prince, there are plenty of options to choose from on Etsy. It's a great way for your dancer to show off their love for the ballet outside of the studio.
