Five Star Gift Ideas

If your mom is a fan of John Green, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas you can consider this Christmas. Here are a few suggestions:

1. "The John Green Collection": If your mom doesn't already own all of John Green's books, you can get her a compilation of his best works. This set could include novels like "The Fault in Our Stars," "Looking for Alaska," "Paper Towns," and more. This gift will allow her to dive into his writing and rediscover her love for his stories.

2. Signed John Green book: Consider getting your mom a signed edition of one of John Green's books. Many online retailers or autograph dealers offer signed copies, and it could become a prized possession for your mom. You can also check if there are any upcoming author events or book signings in your area where she could meet him in person.

3. "Papertowns" movie-themed gift set: If your mom is a fan of both John Green's book and its movie adaptation, "Papertowns," you can create a special gift set centered around this. Include a DVD or Blu-ray of the movie, a copy of the book with a personalized bookmark, and some themed merchandise like a "Papertowns" t-shirt or a poster signed by the cast.

4. Handmade journals or stationery: John Green's books often feature characters who enjoy writing and keeping journals. Consider buying or making a personalized journal or a set of stationery for your mom. You can include inspiring quotes from his books printed on the pages or covers. This gift will encourage her to express herself through writing, just as the characters in John Green's novels do.

5. Literary-themed jewelry: Do a search for John Green-inspired jewelry, like necklaces, bracelets, or rings featuring quotes or symbols from his books. Find something that resonates with your mom's favorite John Green novel or a specific character she loves. This gift will be a beautiful and subtle way for her to showcase her love for John Green's writing.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is thoughtfulness. Think about what your mom likes about John Green's works, whether it's the relatable characters, the emotional journey, or the powerful storytelling. By understanding why she loves his books, you can choose a gift that will truly resonate with her and show that you value her interests and passions.

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