Five Star Gift Ideas

How about a personalized historical gift? Consider taking a photo of your dad and placing it on a Civil War or other historical reenactment-era portrait with appropriate dress and background. If he likes to participate in the reenactment events, you can also consider buying him a costume that fits his favorite historical period or buying him a book on historical reenactment. Additionally, many historic villages and towns offer guided tours, so you might want to look into arranging a tour or visit to one of these to help your dad immerse himself in history.

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

Bridget Shields says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I wanted a keepsake to give to my father for his birthday as he has terminal cancer. He was delighted by his gift. The process of ordering was easy and delivery was prompt. A great gift idea.”
