Five Star Gift Ideas

When it comes to finding the perfect gift for someone you care about, it can be helpful to consider their interests and hobbies. Your son's love for apple pie could provide you with some creative inspiration for a meaningful and personalized gift this holiday season. Here are a few ideas that might be a good fit:

1. A cookbook focused on apple pie: If your son enjoys making apple pie as well as eating it, consider gifting him a cookbook focused on this classic dish. Look for a book with plenty of recipes, tips and tricks for making the perfect pastry crust, and maybe even some history and background about the history of apple pie in America.

2. A set of pie-making tools: For the aspiring baker, there are few things more exciting than getting a new set of high-quality tools to work with in the kitchen. You could put together a gift set that includes everything your son needs to make the perfect apple pie, from a rolling pin and pastry cutter to a set of measuring cups and spoons.

3. A personalized apron: If your son already has all the tools he needs, consider getting him a personalized apron instead. You could have his name or a favorite quote embroidered on the front, along with an image of an apple pie or other baking-related design.

4. A gift card to a local bakery: If your son loves apple pie but doesn't love making it himself, you might consider gifting him a gift card to a local bakery that specializes in this dessert. He can enjoy a delicious slice of pie without having to do any of the work.

5. A day trip to an apple orchard: For a fun and memorable experience that your son won't forget, consider taking him on a day trip to an apple orchard. You can pick your own apples, learn about the history of the orchard, and even take a guided tour to see how apple pies are made on a larger scale. Of course, you'll want to top off the day with a slice of pie (or two) from the orchard's bakery!

Whatever gift you choose, the key is to make it personal and reflective of your son's interests and passions. By keeping his love for apple pie in mind, you're sure to find a gift he'll be excited about and treasure for years to come.

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

“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.”
