Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves book club discussions and reading challenges, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that will not only enhance his reading experience but also cater to his specific interests.

1. Book Subscription Box: Consider gifting your son a book subscription box that offers curated selections based on his preferences. These boxes often include discussion guides, exclusive author content, and book club materials, making it the perfect gift to fuel his love for book club discussions. Some popular book subscription boxes include Book of the Month, OwlCrate, and Once Upon a Book Club.

2. Personalized Bookplates: Help your son take pride in his book collection by gifting him personalized bookplates. These elegant labels can be customized with his name and can include a meaningful quote or message. Bookplates not only add a personal touch to his books but also serve as a reminder of his love for reading and his dedication to building a collection.

3. Reading Journal: Encourage your son to document his reading adventures with a reading journal. These journals typically include prompts and sections for recording thoughts, reflections, and summaries of books read. Additionally, some reading journals include reading challenges or recommendations, which can make his reading experience more exciting and engaging.

4. Book Club Kit: Consider creating a book club kit for your son. Include a selection of books that align with his reading interests, along with discussion questions or prompts that he can use for his book club discussions. You can also add some cozy accessories like a book-themed candle or bookmark to complete the kit.

5. Literary Artwork: Elevate your son's reading nook or bedroom with literary artwork. Look for prints or posters that feature his favorite books, literary quotes, or authors he admires. This thoughtful gift will not only decorate his space but also serve as a constant reminder of his passion for literature.

6. E-reader or Tablet: If your son enjoys reading on the go or prefers the convenience of digital books, consider gifting him an e-reader or tablet. These devices allow him to access a wide range of books, join virtual book clubs, and participate in online reading challenges. Ensure the device supports features like highlighting, note-taking, and sharing passages for a more interactive reading experience.

7. Bookstore or Online Gift Card: If you are unsure about specific book selections, a gift card to his favorite local bookstore or an online retailer like Amazon can provide him the freedom to choose the books that pique his interest. This way, he can explore new titles, join book clubs, or participate in reading challenges at his own pace.

Remember, the key is to tailor the gift to your son's specific interests. By incorporating his love for book club discussions and reading challenges into your gift choices, you can give him a meaningful and personal present that celebrates his passion for literature.

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.”
