Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who loves books and enjoys exploring a variety of genres, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas you can consider to enhance his reading experience and show your support for his passion.

1. Subscription to a Book Club: Since your son already enjoys book clubs, consider gifting him a subscription to a book club tailored to his interests. There are many book subscription services available that curate monthly book selections based on genres, themes, or even personalized preferences. This way, he can receive a new and unexpected book each month, discuss it with fellow book lovers, and expand his literary horizons.

2. E-reader or Kindle: If your son doesn't already have one, an e-reader or Kindle can be an excellent gift. These devices allow readers to carry thousands of books in one compact device, making it easy for him to access a diverse range of genres and authors. Additionally, with built-in features like adjustable font size and highlighting, he can have a more comfortable reading experience.

3. Personalized Bookmarks: Bookmarks can be a simple yet thoughtful gift for a book lover. Consider getting personalized bookmarks with his name or initials engraved on them. You can also explore creative and unique designs such as bookmarks depicting his favorite literary quotes, characters, or symbols associated with different genres.

4. Bookshelf Organizer: Help your son keep his book collection in perfect order by gifting him a bookshelf organizer. You can find organizers in various designs, styles, and materials that will not only optimize space but also add a touch of aesthetic appeal to his reading area. Consider a bookshelf decorated with his favorite characters or an organizer with compartments to sort books by genre.

5. Literary-themed Clothing or Accessories: Show your son's love for books by gifting him literary-themed clothing or accessories. T-shirts or hoodies featuring quotes from his favorite authors or characters can be a fashionable way for him to express his passion. Other options include literary-themed tote bags, mugs, or even smartphone cases decorated with book covers or iconic literary images.

6. Experience Bookstore Tour: Consider organizing a special outing or bookstore tour for your son. Visit independent bookstores in your area or plan a trip to a city famous for its literary history. This experience can be a memorable adventure where he can discover new books, meet authors, and immerse himself in the rich world of literature.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that resonates with your son's interests and demonstrates your support for his passion for reading. By personalizing the gift to his tastes and hobbies, you'll show that you not only recognize his love for books but also encourage his exploration of different genres.

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.”
