Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who enjoys watching true crime documentaries, you can't go wrong with a gift that caters to his interest in the genre. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas to consider:

1. True Crime Books: Expand his collection of knowledge with gripping true crime books. Look for bestselling titles like "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote, "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" by Michelle McNamara, or "The Stranger Beside Me" by Ann Rule. These books provide in-depth insight into real crime cases and will keep him captivated.

2. Online Crime Documentary Subscriptions: Consider gifting him a subscription to streaming platforms that have an extensive true crime documentary library. Popular choices include Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime, or Hulu. With access to a wide range of true crime content, he can explore new documentary series and uncover lesser-known cases.

3. Crime Podcasts and Audiobooks: If your husband enjoys listening to compelling stories, he might appreciate crime-related podcasts and audiobooks. Suggest podcasts like "Serial," "Criminal," or "My Favorite Murder." Additionally, audiobooks such as "American Predator" by Maureen Callahan or "Evil Has a Name" by Paul Holes and Jim Clemente offer a unique listening experience that can be enjoyed anywhere.

4. True Crime Merchandise: Show your support for his interest by gifting him true crime merchandise. Look for t-shirts, mugs, or posters featuring his favorite crime documentaries or iconic true crime figures like Ted Bundy or Jack the Ripper. You can find these items on websites like Etsy or through official merchandise stores.

5. Crime Investigation Games: If your husband enjoys interactive experiences, consider a crime investigation board game or video game. Games like "Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game," "Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective," or the video game series "Hitman" provide immersive storytelling and detective challenges that can keep him engaged for hours.

6. Forensic Science Kit: For a more hands-on gift, consider a forensic science kit. These kits allow your husband to delve into the world of crime scene investigation and learn about the techniques used in real-life criminal investigations. Look for kits that include fingerprinting tools, blood typing tests, or DNA extraction experiments.

7. Crime-themed Experiences: If you want to go beyond physical gifts, consider booking a crime-themed experience for your husband's birthday. Look for local escape rooms with mystery or crime-solving themes. These immersive experiences will allow him to step into the shoes of a detective and solve intricate puzzles.

Remember, when choosing a gift, it's important to consider your husband's specific tastes and preferences within the true crime genre. By catering to his interest, you can give him a meaningful and personalized gift that shows you understand and support his passion for true crime documentaries.

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 :)”
