Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who loves John Steinbeck, here are a few anniversary gift ideas:

1. First editions of John Steinbeck's books - Consider purchasing a first edition copy of your husband's favorite Steinbeck novel, such as "The Grapes of Wrath" or "East of Eden." You could also look for a lesser-known work that he hasn't read yet, such as "In Dubious Battle."

2. Visiting Cannery Row - Take your husband on a trip to Monterey, California, where he can visit Cannery Row, the setting for several of Steinbeck's novels. You can stay at a hotel in the area, take a guided tour, and explore the local shops and restaurants.

3. Steinbeck-related artwork - Find a piece of artwork that features a quote from Steinbeck or a scene from one of his books. You could also look for a painting or photograph of a location that Steinbeck wrote about, such as Salinas Valley.

4. Steinbeck-inspired bourbon - For a unique gift, consider purchasing a bottle of Steinbeck-inspired bourbon. Steinbeck Bourbon is a small-batch whiskey that's aged in oak barrels and named after the author himself.

5. Steinbeck-themed dinner - Plan a romantic anniversary dinner at home and make it Steinbeck-themed. Cook a meal that fits with the setting of one of his books, such as a vegetable stew for "The Grapes of Wrath," or fried chicken for "East of Eden." Play some of Steinbeck's favorite music in the background, such as classical or jazz.

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