Five Star Gift Ideas

What a great theme to work with! Here are a few J.R.R. Tolkien gift ideas that could make for a memorable anniversary gift for your husband:

1. "The Lord of the Rings" book set: If your husband is a big Tolkien fan, it's likely he has read "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy at least once. But does he own a beautiful or special edition of the books? Gifting a beautiful box set of the books with a personal note written on the inside cover could make for a thoughtful and long-lasting gift.

2. Handmade Hobbit pipe: Since smoking has become less popular, pipes have become more of a collector's item nowadays. Plus, a handmade Hobbit-style pipe would be perfect for those who admire Tolkien's work, as the author himself was known to smoke a pipe.

3. A Tolkien-inspired piece of jewelry: For a unique and personal gift idea, consider gifting your husband a piece of jewelry inspired by Tolkien's work. For example, a necklace with the Tree of Gondor, a ring engraved with the One Ring inscription, or even cufflinks featuring Bilbo Baggins' signature door.

4. Tickets to "The Lord of the Rings" symphony: If your husband enjoys music, look for tickets to the live orchestra performances of the "The Lord of the Rings" Symphony. These symphonies incorporate music from the popular films, along with breathtaking visuals, to immerse the audience in the world of Middle Earth.

5. A visit to Middle Earth: If you're really looking to go all out for your anniversary, consider a trip to New Zealand, where the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films were shot. There are plenty of Tolkien-themed tours, from walking tours of the Shire to helicopter tours of Mount Doom. It's a once-in-a-lifetime trip any true Tolkien fan would love!

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