Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are some gift ideas that your husband may appreciate:

1. John Steinbeck's complete collection - You can consider getting your husband all of Steinbeck's written work in a collection. This includes classics such as "The Grapes of Wrath," "East of Eden," and "Of Mice and Men."

2. Personalized Steinbeck book cover poster - You can get a custom poster made with the cover of one of his favorite Steinbeck books on it. This will be a unique and meaningful gift that he can hang in his office or reading area.

3. A trip to Salinas, California - Salinas is where John Steinbeck was born and raised, and it's also where the National Steinbeck Center is located. You can plan a weekend trip to visit the center and take a tour of Steinbeck's childhood home.

4. A Steinbeck-inspired journal - If your husband is a writer or an avid journaler, you can get him a leather-bound journal with a Steinbeck quote or character reference on it to inspire his writing.

5. Steinbeck-themed gift basket - You can create a gift basket filled with items related to Steinbeck's works. This can include items inspired by his books such as wine or apple cider (inspired by "East of Eden"), a harmonica (inspired by "The Grapes of Wrath"), or a pocket watch (inspired by "Of Mice and Men").

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