Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who loves fermenting foods, there are several unique and thoughtful gift options you can consider. These gifts will not only enhance his fermentation hobby but also show that you support and appreciate his interests. Here are a few ideas:

1. Fermentation Kit: Help your husband take his fermenting skills to the next level with a high-quality fermentation kit. Look for one that includes fermentation weights, airlock lids, and glass jars. This kit will provide him with the necessary tools to ferment a variety of foods, such as sauerkraut, kimchi, or pickles.

2. The Art of Fermentation Book: A comprehensive guide like "The Art of Fermentation" by Sandor Ellix Katz can be an excellent gift for your husband. It not only explores the science and history of fermentation but also offers various recipes and techniques for making different fermented foods. This book will not only expand his knowledge but also inspire him to experiment with new ingredients and flavors.

3. Specialty Fermentation Ingredients: Surprise your husband with unique fermentation ingredients that he may not have tried before. Consider getting him different types of live cultures, starter cultures, or specialty fermentation salts. These ingredients will allow him to explore new flavors and experiment with different fermentation techniques.

4. Fermentation Classes or Workshops: If your husband is passionate about fermenting foods, he might enjoy attending fermentation classes or workshops in your area. Look for local cooking schools or community centers that offer classes on pickling, brewing, or fermenting foods. This gift will not only provide him with hands-on experience but also the opportunity to meet and learn from other fermentation enthusiasts.

5. Fermentation Crock: A traditional fermentation crock can be a fantastic gift for your husband. These crocks are specifically designed for fermenting vegetables and can provide the perfect environment for consistent and controlled fermentation. Look for a crock that is made of durable stoneware and comes with a water seal or an airlock system.

6. Fermented Food Subscription Box: Consider gifting your husband a subscription to a fermented food box. These boxes often include a variety of fermented products like kombucha, kefir, pickles, and fermented hot sauces. It will allow him to explore different flavors and brands while supporting small-scale producers.

7. Personalized Fermentation Journal: Help your husband keep track of his fermentation experiments and recipes by giving him a personalized fermentation journal. This way, he can document his successful recipes, notes on flavors, and brewing times. It can serve as a valuable resource and also provide a sense of accomplishment as he sees his progress over time.

Remember, the best gift is the one that reflects your husband's passion for fermenting foods and shows that you support his interests. Choose a gift that aligns with his goals and allows him to expand his knowledge and creativity in the world of fermentation.

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

Burcin Dalkanat says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
