Five Star Gift Ideas

For your true crime-loving grandpa, I have a few gift ideas that he will truly appreciate and enjoy.

1. True Crime Books: Consider gifting your grandpa some captivating true crime books to add to his collection. You can choose from classics like Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" or opt for recent bestsellers like Michelle McNamara's "I'll Be Gone in the Dark." Additionally, you could explore books that delve into specific cases or the history of criminal investigations, keeping your grandpa engrossed in his favorite genre.

2. Subscription to True Crime Magazines: Help your grandpa stay updated with the latest true crime stories by gifting him a subscription to a true crime magazine. Magazines like "Crime Monthly" or "Real Crime" provide in-depth articles, interviews, and analysis of real-life criminal cases. This gift will not only cater to his interests but also provide a regular dose of intriguing content.

3. True Crime Podcast Merchandise: Many popular true crime podcasts have their own merchandise featuring logos, quotes, or artwork related to their shows. Explore the online stores of his favorite podcasts and consider getting him a t-shirt, mug, or hoodie that displays his favorite show's branding. Not only will this gift show your thoughtfulness, but it will also give him something to proudly display his passion for true crime.

4. Crime Documentary DVDs or Streaming Subscription: If your grandpa enjoys watching true crime documentaries, consider gifting him a collection of DVDs featuring gripping crime stories. Look for acclaimed documentaries like "Making a Murderer," "The Jinx," or "The Thin Blue Line." Alternatively, you can gift him a subscription to a streaming platform like Netflix or HBO, which offer a wide selection of true crime documentaries for him to binge-watch at his leisure.

5. Crime Board Games or Puzzle Books: Engage your grandpa's analytical and problem-solving skills while also indulging his interests with crime-themed board games or puzzle books. Games like "Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective" or "Criminal Minds Board Game" will challenge his detective skills. Additionally, you can find puzzle books that offer true crime riddles, crosswords, or brain teasers, providing him with hours of thought-provoking entertainment.

Remember that personalizing these gifts with a heartfelt note or a custom-made card will make them even more special. Consider including an invitation to spend quality time together while discussing his favorite true crime cases or even listening to a podcast together. This thoughtful gesture will not only make your gift memorable, but it will also create cherished moments and strengthen your bond with your grandpa.

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