Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are a few gift ideas for your grandson who likes new wave music:

1. Vinyl Records: Consider buying him vinyl records from some of his favorite new wave bands like The Cars, Depeche Mode, or Talking Heads. Vinyl records have made a huge comeback in recent years and it could be a unique and nostalgic gift for him.

2. Concert Tickets: Check if any new wave bands are playing in your area and gift him a pair of tickets. This will allow him to see his favorite bands live and experience the energy of their music firsthand.

3. New Wave Fashion: Consider gifting him a t-shirt or hoodie with a design inspired by new wave bands. Urban Outfitters and Hot Topic have some great options for band merchandise.

4. Books: There are a ton of great books about the history and impact of new wave music, like "Rip it Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984" by Simon Reynolds. A book might be a great way for him to learn even more about his favorite bands and their genre.

5. Music Equipment: If he plays music himself or is interested in it, consider getting him a new guitar or keyboard. Music equipment can be expensive, so make sure you check with his parents first!

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