Five Star Gift Ideas

If your grandpa is a history enthusiast, there are countless gift options that can match his interest.

1. Historical books: You can gift your grandpa a book written by his favorite historian or a particular history subject. Some famous historical books, such as "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William L. Shirer or "The Guns of August" by Barbara Tuchman, can be perfect choices.

2. Historical tours: You can gift your grandpa a voucher for historical tours. Such tours can offer him an opportunity to dive deep into the past and learn more about the events that shaped our present. Some of these tours even come with an accompanying historian that provides an in-depth narration of historical events.

3. Subscription to a historical magazine: You can subscribe your grandpa to his favorite history magazine. Monthly magazines such as "National Geographic History," "Smithsonian," and "History Today" are some of the popular ones that cover different historical eras.

4. Gift him a memoir or autobiography of an individual in history: Gift your grandpa the memoir of his favorite historical figure or autobiography. Biographies of famous people such as Abraham Lincoln or Winston Churchill are great reads for history buffs.

5. Historical documentaries: You can gift your grandpa a copy of a historical documentary DVD. Classic documentaries such as Ken Burns' "The Civil War" or "The War" about World War II are good options.

6. Historical artifacts: Another great gift option for a history enthusiast can be an antique item related to the past. An antique map, a historical item like a pair of binoculars used in World War I, or even a timeless book can be an excellent addition to his collection.

7. Museum Membership: A membership to his favorite museum can allow him unlimited access, exclusive exhibitions and previews and special events to attend.

Gifts like the above can help your grandpa spark his interest in history and may inspire him to learn more about the people and events that make up our complex world.

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