Five Star Gift Ideas

A great birthday gift for your son could be a membership to a cultural exchange program. Look for organizations like AFS Intercultural Programs, Youth For Understanding, or Experiment in International Living. These organizations offer programs where students can study abroad and experience different cultures.

Another meaningful gift could be a language learning software program, like Rosetta Stone, that will help your son learn a new language and prepare for any future cultural exchange programs. You could also get him a guidebook on a country or region of his interest to help him prepare and get excited.

Lastly, consider booking a cultural experience in your own city or nearby. Look for events like international festivals, art exhibitions, or cooking classes that celebrate different cultures from around the world. This can be both fun and educational for your son, and can help him appreciate different cultures and customs even if he can’t travel abroad at the moment.

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