Five Star Gift Ideas

That's great! How about getting him something related to his favorite bands or music? Here are a few gift ideas that might be perfect:

1. Vinyl records: If your grandpa enjoys listening to music on vinyl, consider getting him a record from his favorite artist or a new indie band he might enjoy. You can also look for classic rock compilations that feature lesser-known tracks for a unique spin.

2. Concert tickets: Depending on where you live, there may be upcoming shows that feature some of his favorite alternative bands. Consider getting him tickets to see his favorite bands live as a special treat.

3. Band merchandise: Many alternative and indie rock bands offer merchandise such as t-shirts, stickers, and posters. Look online for official band stores or check out your local music shops for merchandise featuring his favorite bands.

4. Headphones: If your grandpa enjoys listening to music on the go or while out for a walk, a high-quality set of headphones might be the perfect gift. Look for noise-canceling headphones that will let him fully immerse himself in the music.

5. Books about music: If your grandpa enjoys reading, consider gifting him a book about his favorite bands or music in general. Some great options include "Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk" by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain or "Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground, 1981-1991" by Michael Azerrad.

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