Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandson who loves watching documentaries, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas to consider:

1. Subscription to a streaming service: Consider gifting him a subscription to a streaming platform like Netflix or Hulu. This will allow him to have access to a wide variety of documentaries to watch whenever he wants.

2. Documentary series DVD box set: Find out what his favorite documentary series is and get him the complete box set. Whether it's a historical series like "Civilizations" or a nature-focused one like "Planet Earth," he'll appreciate having the entire collection to watch at his leisure.

3. Tickets to a documentary film festival: If there are any documentary film festivals happening in your area, surprise him with tickets. This would give him the chance to attend screenings of different documentaries and possibly meet the filmmakers.

4. Autobiography of a documentary filmmaker: Look for a biography or autobiography of a renowned documentary filmmaker like Werner Herzog or Ken Burns. Reading about their experiences and creative processes can provide him with valuable insights into the world of documentary filmmaking.

5. Personalized documentary-style photo album: Create a unique and personal gift by compiling a photo album showcasing important moments and milestones in his life. Present the album in a documentary-style format with captions and descriptions, resembling his favorite genre.

6. Documentary-themed board games: Seek out board games that revolve around the world of documentaries. For example, "Planet Earth: The Board Game" provides an interactive and educational experience based on the documentary series.

7. Documentary-inspired artwork: Commission a local artist to create a custom piece inspired by his favorite documentary or filmmaker. This artwork could serve as a decorative reminder of his passion for documentaries.

8. Filmmaking equipment or course: If he shows an interest in filmmaking, consider gifting him a basic filmmaking starter kit or enrolling him in an online course to learn the essentials of documentary filmmaking. This way, he can explore documentary-making himself and turn his passion into a hobby or even a future career.

Remember, it's important to keep his personal preferences and interests in mind while selecting a gift. By choosing something related to his love for documentaries, you'll show your grandson that you support and appreciate his passion.

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

“I ordered the star map 8 days before my daughter's birthday. It arrived in 7 days just in time for her birthday. Thank you! She loved the star map.”
