Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandson who enjoys attending book signings, I have a few gift ideas that will surely bring a smile to his face on his birthday. These suggestions will not only cater to his love for book signings but also enhance his overall reading experience.

1. Autographed Book: One perfect gift idea would be to search for an autographed book from his favorite author. Look for a book that he hasn't read yet, and try to find an autographed edition. This will not only expand his reading collection but also hold a sentimental value as he can treasure the signature of his favorite author forever.

2. Virtual Book Event Tickets: With the current situation making it difficult to attend physical book signings, many authors and bookstores are now hosting virtual book events. Look for upcoming virtual book events that feature his favorite authors and gift him tickets to these events. This way, he can attend the book signings from the comfort of his own home and have the opportunity to engage with authors in live Q&A sessions.

3. Signed Bookplate Stickers: If purchasing autographed books is challenging, consider getting signed bookplate stickers. These stickers are adhesive and designed to be placed inside the cover of a book. They are often signed by the author and can be a great alternative to having physical signatures in books. Your grandson can use these stickers to add a personal touch to his favorite books, and each time he opens them, he will be reminded of the book signings he has attended.

4. Bookstore Gift Card: Give your grandson the opportunity to explore and choose his own books by gifting him a gift card to his favorite local bookstore. This way, he can attend book signings of different authors and purchase books that catch his interest. Encourage him to explore new genres or discover new authors to further expand his reading horizons.

5. Personalized Bookmarks: Get him a set of personalized bookmarks tailored to his taste. You can have his name or a motivational quote engraved on them. Additionally, you could also look for bookmarks featuring famous quotes from his favorite authors. These personalized bookmarks will serve as a constant reminder of his love for reading and the joy he derives from attending book signings.

Remember, the thought and effort put into finding a gift that aligns with your grandson's interests will make it all the more special. By incorporating his passion for attending book signings into his birthday gift, you are not only giving him an item but also an experience that he will cherish for years to come.

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

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
