Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves 80s music and learning foreign languages, there are several gift ideas that combine both passions and create a meaningful and personalized present. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Classic 80s Music Collection: Compile a collection of CDs or create a personalized playlist with iconic 80s hits. Include songs from different genres to give him a taste of the diverse music of that era. This will provide him with hours of enjoyment while he pursues his language learning.

2. Language Learning Resources: Look for language learning materials with an 80s twist. There are language courses specifically designed for music lovers, teaching foreign languages through popular songs from the 80s. They incorporate lyrics, translation, and cultural insights, making language learning a fun and engaging experience for him.

3. Concert Tickets: Find out if any artists or bands from the 80s that he admires are performing in your area. Getting him tickets to a concert will allow him to experience the music he loves live, creating unforgettable memories and possibly even sparking his interest in visiting countries where those artists originated.

4. Vintage Vinyl Records: If your son has a record player or has shown an interest in collecting music on vinyl, consider gifting him some classic 80s albums in foreign languages. Whether it's popular tunes from the UK, France, or Spain, this gift combines his passion for music and language learning.

5. Language Classes Abroad: If you want to go all out and provide him with an immersive language learning experience, consider enrolling him in a language course abroad. Many countries offer language programs that focus on teaching the local language while immersing students in the culture, history, and music of that era.

6. Music-themed Language Learning Apps: There are language learning apps available that combine language education with music. These apps often include vocabulary and grammar exercises centered around song lyrics from various genres, including the 80s. This interactive approach will make language learning feel like a breeze for your son.

Remember, understanding your son's interests and passions is the key to finding a heartfelt and meaningful gift. By combining his love for 80s music and language learning, you can create a unique and personalized gift that he will appreciate and enjoy for years to come.

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.”
