Five Star Gift Ideas

That's a great hobby! Here are some ideas for gem cutting-inspired gifts for your boyfriend's birthday:

1. A gemstone cutting machine: This is a fun and practical gift for someone who loves gem cutting. You can find them at various price points, so be sure to research which one would be best for your boyfriend depending on his skill level and needs.

2. A gemstone-cutting book: There are many great books out there that provide information and tips for gem cutting, so your boyfriend can expand his knowledge and hone his craft. Consider getting him a beginner's guide or a book that focuses on a specific type of gemstone.

3. Gemstone rough: You can purchase uncut stones for gem cutting and polishing, which are perfect for getting creative in the art of gem cutting.

4. A gem cutting course: Find a course or workshop in your area (or online) that would be perfect for your boyfriend to gain more knowledge about gem cutting and meet peers who share his passion.

5. A personalized gemstone: Consider getting a custom gemstone created for your boyfriend with a special message or design that's meaningful to both of you. This can be done by a professional jeweler or DIY if your boyfriend has advanced skills in gem cutting.

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