Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who enjoys learning about ancient history, there are several gift ideas that could engage and further encourage his passion for the subject. Here are a few options:

1. Books on ancient history: Consider gifting him a collection of books by renowned historians or authors who specialize in ancient history. These could cover topics such as ancient civilizations, mythologies, or specific eras. Some popular recommendations include "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari, "The Histories" by Herodotus, or "The Egyptian Book of the Dead" translated by E.A. Wallis Budge.

2. Documentary series or films: There are many captivating documentary series and films focused on ancient history. Choose a DVD set or subscription to a streaming service that offers a wide selection of historical content. Some notable choices include "Civilizations" by the BBC, "The Roman Empire" by the History Channel, or the "David Attenborough's Natural History Collection."

3. Museum membership or guided tour: Look for local museums or historical sites that feature exhibits on ancient history. Consider purchasing a membership for your husband, allowing him unlimited access to explore these collections at his own pace. Alternatively, you could arrange a guided tour or workshop specifically tailored to his area of interest.

4. Artifact replicas: Ancient history enthusiasts often appreciate owning replicas of artifacts from their favorite era or civilization. You can find quality replicas of ancient coins, jewelry, sculptures, or pottery online or at specialty stores. Such replicas can serve as excellent conversation starters or enhance a personal study collection.

5. Online courses or lecture series: Encourage your husband's passion for ancient history by enrolling him in an online course or subscribing to a lecture series on the subject. Platforms like Coursera or The Great Courses offer a wide range of options taught by reputable historians and archaeologists, providing him with the opportunity to deepen his understanding in a structured and engaging manner.

6. Historical board or video games: If your husband enjoys gaming, a historical-themed board game or video game could be a fun and interactive gift. Look for titles that revolve around ancient civilizations, including popular choices like "Sid Meier's Civilization VI" or "Assassin's Creed Origins" where he can explore ancient Egypt.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows your understanding and support for his interests. Combine any of these ideas with a handwritten note expressing your love and encouragement for his passion, and you will create a memorable and personal gift experience for your husband's birthday.

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

“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 :)”
