Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for perfume making, you have the opportunity to give him a unique and meaningful gift that supports his interests. Here are some ideas to consider for a Christmas gift:

1. Perfumery Kit: Look for a high-quality perfumery kit that includes essential oils, blending tools, and bottles. This kit will provide your son with all the necessary tools to experiment and create his own unique fragrances. It will also allow him to learn more about different ingredients, blending techniques, and the art of perfumery.

2. Perfume Making Workshop: Search for local perfume making workshops or classes in your area. Gifting your son an opportunity to attend a professional workshop will give him hands-on experience and the chance to learn from experts in the field. This gift will not only enhance his skills but also expand his knowledge and connect him with other perfume enthusiasts.

3. Fragrance Subscription Box: Consider subscribing your son to a monthly fragrance subscription box. These boxes typically provide a variety of samples and testers from different brands, allowing him to explore and discover new scents regularly. This ongoing gift will keep his interest in perfume making alive and introduce him to a wide range of fragrances.

4. Perfume Recipe Books: Look for well-regarded books on perfume making, such as "The Art of Perfumery" by Robert Calkin or "Perfume: A Sensory Journey Through Contemporary Scent" by Lizzie Ostrom. These books will provide your son with valuable knowledge about the history of perfumery, ingredients, and techniques, inspiring him to dive deeper into his passion.

5. Customized Perfume Bottle: Consider having a personalized perfume bottle made specifically for your son. This could include his name engraved on the bottle or a custom design that reflects his personality or interests. A personalized perfume bottle not only symbolizes his love for perfume making but also serves as a special keepsake.

6. Trip to a Perfume Museum: If possible, plan a trip to a perfume museum or exhibition that showcases the history and art of perfume making. This experience will not only be educational but also provide your son with insights, inspiration, and a greater appreciation for the world of perfumery.

Remember, the most important part of your gift is the thought and effort you put into it. Understanding your son's passion for perfume making and incorporating it into your gift will show him how much you support and encourage his interests.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
