Five Star Gift Ideas

For your boyfriend who enjoys canning and preserving, here are a few gift ideas that he is sure to appreciate:

1. Canning set: If your boyfriend loves to can and preserve food, a complete canning set could be a perfect gift for him. This set usually includes all of the equipment he will need to can his food such as a pressure canner, water bath, canning jars, funnel and jar lifter.

2. Good quality jars: High-quality jars are a must if your boyfriend loves to can and preserve food. You can get him a set of pressure-canning jars that he can use to store his freshly preserved food. Besides, look for decorative and unique jars that will make his collection even more special to him.

3. Canning books: There are so many canning and preserving cookbooks available for him to explore. You can give him a cookbook focused entirely on preserving like the landmark book "Putting Food By" or "Ball Blue Book: Guide to Preserving".

4. Canning Labels: Every canner wants a way to label their canned goods so they know when they’re ready to open. You can buy your boyfriend a set of canning labels with fun designs that he will enjoy using to keep his preserved foods organized.

5. Preserving kit: If your boyfriend is a beginner, you could gift him a food preservation kit. This kit will contain everything he might need to start preserving food in small batches, like spices, jar covers, and a recipe book.

6. Food Dehydrator: A food dehydrator is a great gift idea for your boyfriend as he can use it to not only preserve his fruits and vegetables but also make beef jerky or dry fruits for snacks.

7. A class in canning and preserving: If you live near a culinary school, they might offer classes in canning and preserving. You could gift your boyfriend a few lessons so he can learn more about the techniques and tips to make his hobby even more fruitful.

With these gift ideas, your boyfriend is sure to feel loved and appreciated. A thoughtful present that caters to his interests is always greatly appreciated.

Or you can get him a star map with the date of your anniversary.
