Five Star Gift Ideas

For your boyfriend, who has an interest in cultural anthropology, you can consider a variety of thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas.

1. Anthropology books: Consider gifting some of the most widely recommended and popular books on the subject of anthropology. Some of the must-reads include Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond, The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris, and The Social Structure of Right and Wrong by Donald Black.

2. Cultural artifacts: Give your loved one a piece of history with an authentic artifact from an exotic culture. You can consider purchasing items such as carved masks, tribal jewelry, or a hand-woven rug that would add to his collection.

3. Museums and Exhibitions: As an Anthropology enthusiast, he might enjoy visiting museums and exhibitions related to the field. Get tickets to a local museum or exhibition that is dedicated to anthropology and take him for a date night.

4. Travel: Anthropology is all about exploring different cultures around the world, and what could be better than gifting your partner a travel experience? Find a destination that resonates with anthropology, such as the ruins of Machu Picchu, the Angkor Wat temples of Cambodia, or the Mayan ruins in Mexico.

5. Subscription box: A subscription box that includes items with cultural significance and an inner look into lesser-known traditions, customs, religions, and ethnicity around the world would be right up his alley.

6. Anthropology t-shirts and posters: There is a slew of popular t-shirts, posters, and other anthropological merch selections from up-and-coming designers to well-known artists that can be found online. You could surprise your partner with a hand-picked selection of these trendy t-shirts, hoodies, or posters.

By gifting thoughtful, unique items and experiences that reflect his passion for cultural anthropology, you can give him a birthday present that he will always cherish.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
