Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandson who enjoys attending TED Talks and intellectual discussions, I have a few gift ideas that are sure to resonate with his interests:

1. Tickets to a TEDx Event: TEDx events are independently organized TED Talks, often with a specific theme or subject. Check if there are any upcoming TEDx events in your grandson's area and surprise him with tickets. It will provide him with an opportunity to not only attend a TED Talk but also connect with like-minded individuals who share his passion for intellectual conversations.

2. Subscription to a TED Book Club: If your grandson enjoys reading, consider gifting him a subscription to a TED Book Club. TED offers a curated collection of books written by TED speakers, covering a wide range of thought-provoking topics. This will allow him to dive deeper into the ideas presented in TED Talks and engage with written material that aligns with his interests.

3. Personalized Notebook for Idea Generation: Intellectual discussions often lead to new ideas and inspirations. Gift your grandson a personalized notebook specifically designed for idea generation. You can have his name or a motivational quote engraved on the cover. This notebook will encourage him to jot down his thoughts, insights, and reflections from TED Talks or any other intellectual discussions he engages in.

4. Membership to a Philosophical Society: If your grandson wants to actively participate in intellectual discussions, consider getting him a membership to a local philosophical society or discussion group. These groups often hold regular meetings where members can explore philosophical ideas and engage in insightful debates. It will provide him with an opportunity to connect with other thinkers and expand his intellectual horizons.

5. Online Course or Workshop: Another great way to nurture his interest in intellectual discussions is by gifting him an online course or workshop. Platforms like Coursera, edX, or MasterClass offer a wide range of courses on various subjects, including philosophy, psychology, or even public speaking. Your grandson can deepen his knowledge on specific topics and learn how to effectively contribute to intellectual discussions.

6. Book Recommendations from TED Speakers: Many TED speakers have also authored books that complement their TED Talks. Research some of your grandson's favorite TED Talks and see if any of the speakers have published books. These books can provide a more in-depth exploration of the ideas presented in the talks and serve as a wonderful gift that combines his love for intellectual discussions and reading.

Remember, the key is to provide your grandson with gifts that further inspire and engage his interest in intellectual discussions. By tailoring your gift to align with his passion for TED Talks, you are showing him that you acknowledge and support his intellectual pursuits.

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