Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys attending TED Talks, one thoughtful and meaningful gift idea could be a subscription to a monthly book club that focuses on thought-provoking and enlightening literature. This gift not only aligns with his interest in TED Talks but also provides him with the opportunity to explore new ideas, perspectives, and knowledge.

By participating in a book club, your son can engage in stimulating discussions about various topics, just like he does when attending TED Talks. It allows him to delve deeper into subjects that interest him and further expand his intellectual horizons.

Another potential gift idea could be a ticket to a TEDx event in your area or in another city he would love to visit. TEDx events are independently organized TED-like conferences that bring together speakers from diverse fields to share their ideas. Attending such an event would give your son the opportunity to experience the energy, inspiration, and knowledge-sharing atmosphere firsthand.

If your son enjoys writing or documenting his thoughts and insights, a personalized Moleskine notebook engraved with inspiring quotes from his favorite TED Talks or with the TED logo could be a thoughtful and practical gift. This would enable him to capture his ideas, inspirations, and reflections while attending or watching TED Talks, allowing him to engage more deeply with the content and continue the learning experience beyond the event.

Additionally, you could consider gifting him a subscription to a streaming service that offers a wide range of TED Talks, such as the TED app or TED-Ed. This would allow him to access a vast library of talks across different subjects, ensuring that he always has access to inspiring content that matches his interests and intellectual curiosity.

Lastly, if your son enjoys discussing and sharing TED Talks with his friends and family, you could consider getting him a set of TED Books. These are short, digestible reads that dive into various subjects covered in TED Talks. They offer an opportunity to explore ideas in more detail and can be great conversation starters during family gatherings, book club meetings, or casual discussions with friends.

Ultimately, the key is to find a gift that not only aligns with your son's interest in TED Talks but also enhances his intellectual growth and enjoyment by providing him with opportunities to explore new ideas, engage in meaningful discussions, and further expand his knowledge base.

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.”
