Five Star Gift Ideas

For your dad's birthday, here are a few gift ideas based on his interest in bookbinding:

1. A set of high-quality bookbinding tools - if your dad enjoys making his own books, he would appreciate a set of tools specifically designed for bookbinding. There are various kits available online that include essential tools such as bone folders, bookbinding needles, awls, and more.

2. A leather-bound journal - a beautiful leather-bound journal would be a great gift for your dad. He could use it for personal notes or to create a new bookbinding project.

3. A bookbinding class or workshop - if your dad hasn't taken any classes in bookbinding, consider enrolling him in a local class or workshop. This would give him the opportunity to learn new techniques and connect with other bookbinding enthusiasts.

4. A personalized bookplate - a bookplate is a wonderful way to mark ownership of a book. Consider having one made for your dad with his name and a bookbinding-related image or quote.

5. A book on bookbinding - there are many great books available on the topic of bookbinding. Look for one that covers various techniques or specific projects to inspire your dad's creativity.

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