Five Star Gift Ideas

That's a great starting point for a gift! Here are some ideas:

1. Ethiopian cookbook: You could get him a cookbook that specializes in Ethiopian cuisine. This would allow him to learn about the different spices, techniques and ingredients used in Ethiopian cooking and try various recipes at home.

2. Espresso set: Ethiopian coffee is famous worldwide, and your boyfriend may enjoy an authentic Ethiopian espresso set, complete with traditional cups and saucers.

3. Gift card to an Ethiopian restaurant: You could get him a gift card to his favorite Ethiopian restaurant, or one that he's been wanting to try out. This would guarantee a delicious dinner and a memorable experience.

4. Ethiopian spices and ingredients: You could put together an Ethiopian spice blend, including popular spices such as berbere, mitmita, and fenugreek. These can be found at a local spice store or online.

5. Ethiopian artwork: You could get your boyfriend a piece of Ethiopian artwork or decor, like a woven basket, artwork, or a traditional scarf or shawl. This would remind him of his love for Ethiopian culture even when he's at home.

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

“My boyfriend is very much into constellations and astronomy. Recently we were watching a beautiful meteor shower and I knew then exactly what I was getting him for Christmas. It is absolutely beautiful. It’s very sentimental yet fascinating. Awesome gift!!!”
