Five Star Gift Ideas

That's great! Here are a few gift ideas based on your dad's interest in soapstone carving:

1. Soapstone Carving Kit: This kit would contain everything your dad needs to get started carving soapstone, including a variety of carving tools, a book on soapstone carving, and an assortment of soapstone blocks to practice on.

2. Soapstone Sculpture: If your dad doesn't already have a soapstone sculpture, you could consider buying him one. There are many beautiful pieces available, ranging from abstract designs to more realistic animal or human figures.

3. Soapstone Bookends: If your dad enjoys reading, he may appreciate a pair of soapstone bookends to hold up his favorite books. You could look for a set that features carved animal designs or other decorative elements.

4. Soapstone Coasters: For a more functional gift, consider a set of soapstone coasters. These would be a practical way for your dad to protect his furniture while showcasing his love of soapstone carving.

5. Soapstone Jewelry: If your dad likes to wear jewelry, you could look for a piece made from soapstone. This could be a necklace, bracelet, or set of earrings, depending on his preferences.

I hope these ideas help inspire you as you search for the perfect birthday gift for your dad!

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