Five Star Gift Ideas

I have a great idea for a birthday gift for your mom, considering her love for true crime shows! How about creating a personalized true crime gift set for her? This gift will not only cater to her interest in true crime but also show that you put thought into curating something special just for her.

Here are some ideas to include in her gift set:

1. Books: Look for true crime books written by popular authors or even memoirs by detectives or crime journalists. You could add titles like "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote or "The Stranger Beside Me" by Ann Rule, which are classic true crime reads. If your mom enjoys more recent cases, you could also consider books like "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" by Michelle McNamara or "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson.

2. Podcasts or Audiobooks: True crime podcasts have gained popularity in recent years, and there are many gripping series to choose from. You can create a curated list of true crime podcasts, including recommendations like "Serial," "My Favorite Murder," or "Sword and Scale." If your mom prefers audiobooks, consider gifting her a subscription to an audiobook platform like Audible, where she can explore a vast collection of true crime stories.

3. Documentary DVDs or Streaming Subscription: There are numerous documentaries and docuseries available on platforms like Netflix and Hulu that cater to true crime enthusiasts. You can gift her DVDs of acclaimed true crime documentaries like "Making a Murderer," "The Staircase," or "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst." Alternatively, if she doesn't have a streaming subscription, consider gifting her one so she can enjoy an array of true crime content at her convenience.

4. Crime-themed Puzzle or Board Games: For some interactive fun, you could include a crime-themed puzzle or board game. One option might be "Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game," where players take on the role of detectives solving complex cases. Another option could be a true crime-themed jigsaw puzzle, featuring iconic crime scenes or detectives.

5. True Crime Merchandise: To add a personal touch, consider getting her some true crime-themed merchandise like a t-shirt featuring her favorite true crime podcast logo or a mug with a quote from a famous crime investigator. You can find a wide variety of true crime-related items online, ranging from clothing to accessories.

Remember, the key to a truly meaningful gift is tailoring it to your mom's specific interests. With this personalized true crime gift set, you can show her that you value her love for true crime and have put effort into creating something tailored to her passion. She will appreciate the thoughtfulness and the opportunity to indulge in her favorite hobby even more!

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
