Five Star Gift Ideas

For a grandpa who has a fascination with ancient mythology, there are numerous thoughtful and personal gift ideas that can bring him joy and deepen his knowledge in this area. Here are a few suggestions that may be well-suited for him:

1. Mythology Books: Consider adding to his collection of mythology books. Look for well-recommended titles on Greek, Roman, Norse, or any other particular mythology he is interested in. Some popular options include "D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths" by Ingri d'Aulaire and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire, "Norse Mythology" by Neil Gaiman, or "Bulfinch's Mythology" by Thomas Bulfinch.

2. Mythology Art: Explore artwork related to ancient mythology that he can admire and display. Look for paintings, posters, or prints depicting scenes or characters from mythology. This could include famous artwork like "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli, "The Creation of Adam" by Michelangelo, or any other artwork inspired by ancient mythological stories.

3. Mythological Board Games: If your grandpa enjoys games and puzzles, find a board game with a mythology theme. One popular choice is "Santorini," a strategy game based on Greek mythology where players build and control towers in a race against opponents. Another option is "Odin's Ravens," a two-player card game inspired by Norse mythology that involves outmaneuvering each other's ravens.

4. Mythology Documentary or DVD Set: Look for a high-quality documentary series or DVD set on ancient mythology that your grandpa can watch and enjoy in the comfort of his home. "The Greeks" or "Egypt's Lost Cities" are examples of engaging documentary series that delve into fascinating mythological tales.

5. Virtual Museum Tour: Since visiting ancient mythological sites might not be currently feasible, consider arranging a virtual tour of museums that exhibit ancient artifacts. Many famous museums offer virtual tours, allowing your grandpa to explore collections related to mythology. He can discover ancient statues, pottery, and other artifacts from different mythological traditions.

6. Mythology Online Course: If your grandpa is open to learning in a more structured way, you could gift him an online course on mythology. Platforms like Coursera or Udemy offer courses taught by renowned professors or experts in the field. This can provide him with an opportunity to deepen his knowledge at his own pace and from the comfort of his home.

Remember, the most important aspect of a meaningful gift is showing that you know and embrace your loved one's interests. By selecting a gift that reflects your grandpa's passion for ancient mythology, you'll not only bring joy to his special day but also show him how well you understand and support his hobbies.

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