Five Star Gift Ideas

That's great! Here are some ideas for gifts based on his hobby:

1. A high-quality set of carving knives: A set of specially designed carving knives would make an excellent gift for someone who enjoys whittling. Look for knives with comfortable handles and sharp, high-quality blades.

2. A wooden carving block: Your dad will need an appropriate surface to carve on, so consider getting him a wooden carving block. The block should be flat, smooth and large enough to comfortably accommodate his carving project.

3. A book about whittling: There are many books available that offer tips, techniques and project ideas for whittlers at all levels. A classic book such as "The Complete Book of Woodcarving" by Everett Ellenwood can be a good choice.

4. A gift card to a woodworking supply store: If you're not sure what to get your dad, consider giving him a gift card to a woodworking supply store, so he can choose the perfect tools and supplies for his next project.

5. Handmade whittling accessories: If you're feeling creative, consider making your own whittling accessories for your dad. Handmade items such as storage pouches, sharpening stones or tool rolls can be both practical and thoughtful.

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