Five Star Gift Ideas

How about a music lesson gift package? You could give your dad the gift of music lessons with a local instrument teacher. You can search for local music schools or individual instructors who specialize in the instrument your dad wants to learn. You could also get him an instrument of his choice, such as a guitar or a keyboard, to encourage him to practice.
Another idea could be to buy a book, DVD or an online course that teaches the basics of the instrument your dad wants to learn, so he can practice at home. This is a thoughtful gift that will allow him to learn at his own pace and on his own terms.
Lastly, you could also gift your dad some professional headphones or speakers, so that he can listen to his favorite music as he practices his instrument.

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

“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.”
