Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband's birthday, why not surprise him with a meaningful and personal gift that celebrates his love for graphic design? Here are a few ideas that could be perfect for him.

1. Customized Artwork: Commission a professional artist to create a custom piece of artwork inspired by iconic graphic design elements from the 1960s. This could be a stylish poster, a retro-inspired illustration, or even a digital art piece. It will not only showcase his passion but also add a unique touch to your home decor.

2. Graphic Design Books: Consider adding to his collection of graphic design books with titles that specifically focus on the influential design styles and techniques of the 1960s. Look for books featuring renowned designers such as Milton Glaser, Massimo Vignelli, or Paul Rand. These books will offer inspiration and insights into the world of graphic design during that era.

3. Vintage Graphic Design Tools: Surprise your husband with a vintage item related to graphic design from the 1960s. This could be an old camera, a classic typewriter, or a set of vintage design tools like rulers, stencils, or pens. Find out what specific tools or equipment were commonly used during that time period and try to hunt down authentic vintage pieces.

4. Graphic Design Workshop or Course: If your husband enjoys learning and expanding his skills, consider enrolling him in a graphic design workshop or course focused on the techniques and styles of the 1960s. This will not only enhance his knowledge but also provide him with an opportunity to connect with fellow graphic design enthusiasts.

5. Subscription to Design Magazines: Keep your husband inspired throughout the year with a subscription to design magazines that showcase contemporary and historical graphic design. Look for publications that feature articles on graphic design from the 1960s and beyond, as well as current trends and insights.

6. Personalized Graphic Design Merchandise: Make your gift more personal by creating custom graphic design merchandise for your husband. This could include personalized t-shirts, mugs, or phone cases featuring his favorite 1960s graphic design elements or designs inspired by his favorite designers.

7. Visit a Design Exhibition or Museum: Plan a day trip to a nearby design exhibition or museum that showcases graphic design from the 1960s. This will give your husband the opportunity to immerse himself in the artwork and designs that he loves so much. If possible, try to find an exhibition that features works from his favorite designers or highlights the graphic design styles of that era.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and effort you put into it. By choosing a gift that celebrates your husband's passion for graphic design from the 1960s, you're showing him just how well you know and appreciate his interests.

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