Five Star Gift Ideas

Bagels seem like a unique interest for a gift idea, but there are definitely ways to make his love for them into a special and thoughtful present. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Gift a Bagel-Making Kit: This option allows your boyfriend to create his favorite food from scratch. A bagel-making kit can include everything he needs to make delicious bagels at home such as flour, baking powder, yeast, and sesame seeds. It can also come with a recipe card and instructions to help him get started. You can easily find bagel-making kits online, or take it a step further and create your own kit tailored to your boyfriend's preferences.

2. Bagel-Making Class: If your boyfriend has always dreamt of becoming a bagel-making expert, consider gifting him an online bagel-making class. There are many classes available online, with instructors who are experts and passionate about making bagels. This is also an excellent way for him to meet other bagel enthusiasts and share his passion with like-minded people.

3. Bagel Cookbook: If he considers himself a connoisseur of bagels, he will certainly appreciate a good recipe book. There are quite a few cookbooks that feature bagel recipes, such as "The Artisan Jewish Deli at Home" by Nick Zukin and Michael C. Zusman or "The Bread Baker's Apprentice" by Peter Reinhart. These books feature a range of bagel recipes, from classic plain bagels to unique varieties like everything bagels or green tea bagels.

4. Specialty Bagel Basket: Put together a basket filled with his favorite bagels, spreads, and toppings. You can include items such as cream cheese, lox, capers, or even a jar of honey butter to help him enjoy his favorite food. You can also add some gourmet tea or coffee to pair his bagels with, to create the ultimate breakfast experience.

5. Bagel-Themed Clothing: This is a fun, lighthearted option. You can give him a t-shirt or hoodie with a graphic of a bagel or a pun related to bagels. You can easily purchase these online or find a vendor that can create a custom bagel-themed design.

Ultimately, a gift doesn't have to be expensive or complicated to be meaningful. With a thoughtful approach, you can use what makes your boyfriend unique and transform his love for bagels into a gift he will truly appreciate.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
