Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys book clubs and reading challenges, here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas that will further nurture his passion for reading:

1. Subscription to a Book Club: Consider gifting him a subscription to a book club where he can receive a new book every month. There are many book clubs tailored to different interests and age groups. Look for ones that offer a range of genres or themes to keep him engaged and excited about reading.

2. Reading Challenge Journal: Help him track his reading progress and set new goals with a reading challenge journal. This journal can include prompts for book reviews, favorite quotes, and reflections on each book he reads. It can be a great way for him to look back on his reading adventures and celebrate his accomplishments.

3. Personalized Bookplates: Add a thoughtful touch to his book collection by gifting him personalized bookplates. These can be customized with his name or a special message, making him feel even more connected to his books. Not only will this gift make his books uniquely his own, but it will also encourage him to cherish and take pride in his reading journey.

4. Bookish Merchandise: Consider getting him some book-inspired merchandise like tote bags, mugs, or t-shirts featuring quotes from his favorite books or reading-related artwork. These items will not only make him feel proud of his reading hobby but also showcase his love for books to others.

5. Book Swapping or Trading Platform Membership: Make his reading experience more engaging by signing him up for a book swapping or trading platform. These platforms allow users to exchange books with others, creating a sense of community around reading. Your son will have the opportunity to discover new books and authors, while also sharing his own favorites with fellow book enthusiasts.

6. Book-related Experiences: If possible, gift him an experience related to his love for reading. This can be a visit to a well-known bookstore, participation in a literary event or workshop, or even a trip to a location mentioned in a favorite book. Such experiences can create lasting memories and deepen his connection with literature.

7. E-reader or Audiobook Subscription: Consider upgrading his reading experience by gifting him an e-reader or a subscription to an audiobook service. This will allow him to access a vast library of books, expand his reading options, and enjoy his favorite stories in different formats. Additionally, it can be convenient for travel or reading on-the-go.

Remember to choose a gift that aligns with his specific interests and preferences. Whether it's a tangible item or an experience, these gift ideas will cater to his love for books, provide new reading opportunities, and further inspire his literary journey.

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.”
