Five Star Gift Ideas

If your boyfriend has a passion for family history research, there are many thoughtful gifts that you can give him that he will appreciate.

1. Ancestry DNA Kit- This kit examines your boyfriend’s DNA and gives him a detailed report on his family heritage. He can connect with relatives he never knew existed, learn more about his ancestry, and build his family tree.

2. Family Tree Chart- If your boyfriend likes to document family history, then a genealogy tree chart is the perfect gift. It is customizable, easy to read, and makes a great conversation piece on any wall.

3. Genealogy Software- There are several genealogy software options with different features and price points that would help him manage his research, visualize family connections, and add multimedia elements. The software includes Family Tree Builder, RootsMagic, Gramps, and Ancestral Quest.

4. Books- A fascinating book about family history makes a great gift for your boyfriend. For instance, “The Family Tree Toolkit” by Kenyatta Berry is full of practical information that your boyfriend can use for his research.

5. Subscription to historical resources- A subscription to Ancestry.com would give him access to billions of historical records, family trees, and other relevant documents that he will find useful in his research.

6. Museum membership- Buy your boyfriend membership to a local historical museum so that he can learn more about his local area's history and broaden his knowledge base.

7. Customized Gift- Get something that highlights a connection between him and his family’s past. For example, you can make a scrapbook with pictures of his ancestors, or a custom-made map that showcases several generations' migrations. Such a gift would evoke nostalgia, appreciation and admiration for his heritage.

In conclusion, with these thoughtful and personal gift ideas, you can celebrate your boyfriend's hobby and help him explore the past while celebrating the present.

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

“I ordered a print for my boyfriend for his upcoming birthday 7 days ago and received it today. I ordered the anatomical heart one reflecting back on our first date. We love it! It is beautifully done and looks great in the living room!!!”
