Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are some gift ideas for your dad who likes folk:

1. Vinyl Records: Look for some of your dad’s favorite folk artist's albums or artists he might want to explore from record stores to give him a gift of old-school music.

2. Folk Festival Tickets: If you have any folk festivals near you, surprise your dad with tickets to attend one. It will not only expose him to new artists but also create memorable experiences.

3. Stringed Instrument: If your dad loves playing a musical instrument or has mentioned an interest in playing one, give him the chance to fulfill his desire by getting him a guitar, mandolin, banjo, or any stringed instrument that suits his taste.

4. Coffee Table Book: Search for some of the best folk musicians and their stories and put together a coffee table book for your dad. It will be a great conversation starter with your dad’s friends or even a little inspiration for when he is playing guitar.

5. Original Artwork: Commission an artist to create an original artwork inspired by folk music and the artists your dad loves. It could either be a painting or any other innovative artwork. This option also presents the chance to get your dad a unique and thoughtful birthday gift.

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