Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who is passionate about political activism, there are a variety of meaningful gift ideas that can show your support for his passion and make his birthday truly special. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Books: Consider getting him books on political activism, such as "Rules for Revolutionaries" by Becky Bond and Zack Exley, "The Revolution Will Not Be Funded" edited by Incite! Women of Color against Violence, or "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander. These books will not only deepen his understanding of political activism but also inspire and motivate him to continue his work.

2. Donations in his name: Make a donation to a political cause or organization that aligns with his values and interests. This can be a great way to support his activism and show that you understand his passion. You can provide him with a certificate or acknowledgement of the donation to make the gift more tangible.

3. Customized merchandise: Look for online platforms that offer customized merchandise related to political activism. You could create a t-shirt, mug, or tote bag with slogans or symbols that resonate with his beliefs. Not only will this gift allow him to proudly display his support for his cause, but it will also serve as a conversation starter.

4. Workshop or conference tickets: Research political activism workshops, seminars, or conferences that are happening locally or even online. Purchase tickets for him to attend and gain further insight into the strategies, challenges, and successes of political activism. This gift will provide him with opportunities to network with like-minded individuals and learn from experienced activists.

5. Art or posters: Consider purchasing artwork or posters that reflect his political beliefs and values. Find artists or designers who create thought-provoking pieces that can be displayed in his office or living space. This gift will not only add a visually appealing element to his environment but will also serve as a constant reminder of his commitment to political activism.

6. Subscriptions: Subscribe him to magazines or journals focused on political activism, such as The Nation, Mother Jones, or Jacobin. These publications provide in-depth analysis, reporting, and opinion pieces on current political issues, helping him stay up-to-date and informed.

7. Volunteering together: Plan a day of volunteering together for a cause he cares about. Find a local organization or charity that aligns with his political activism interests and spend the day working to make a difference. This gift not only shows support for his passion but also allows you to spend quality time together contributing to a common goal.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is to demonstrate thoughtfulness and an understanding of his interests and values. By considering his passion for political activism, you can select a gift that will not only be appreciated but will also provide him with inspiration and encouragement to continue making a difference.

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 :)”
