Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys the taste of Colombian coffee, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider for this Christmas. Here are a few options:

1. Colombian Coffee Sampler: Put together a selection of different Colombian coffee varieties for your son to taste and explore. Look for single-origin beans from different regions of Colombia, each with its own distinct flavor profile. This gift will allow him to experience the richness and diversity of Colombian coffee firsthand.

2. Coffee Subscription: Consider gifting your son a coffee subscription service that specializes in Colombian coffee. There are various online platforms that offer subscriptions for coffee lovers, delivering freshly roasted beans from different Colombian coffee farms to their doorstep every month. This will ensure that he can continue to enjoy his favorite coffee flavors throughout the year.

3. Coffee Brewing Equipment: Help your son enhance his coffee tasting experience by gifting him high-quality brewing equipment. For a more traditional method, you could consider a Colombian coffee brewer known as a "cafetera," which is used to make authentic Colombian coffee. Alternatively, you could opt for a manual coffee grinder and a pour-over coffee dripper to allow him to experiment with different brewing methods to extract the optimal flavors from his coffee beans.

4. Coffee Tasting Experience: Treat your son to a coffee tasting experience at a local specialty coffee shop or roastery. Many places offer workshops or guided tastings where participants can learn about the origins and flavors of different coffees. This hands-on experience will allow your son to deepen his understanding and appreciation for Colombian coffee.

5. Coffee-Related Books: If your son enjoys reading, consider gifting him books related to coffee and Colombian coffee culture. There are numerous options available, including coffee recipe books, coffee table books that showcase the beauty of coffee farms in Colombia, and books on the history and significance of Colombian coffee in the global coffee industry.

6. Personalized Coffee Mug: Surprise your son with a personalized coffee mug that reflects his love for Colombian coffee. You can have his name or a meaningful message engraved on the mug, along with coffee-related illustrations or a map of Colombia. Every time he enjoys his coffee, he will be reminded of your thoughtful gift and his passion for Colombian coffee.

Remember, the most important aspect of choosing a gift is to show that you understand and appreciate your son's interests. By selecting a gift that aligns with his love for Colombian coffee, you are not only giving him something he enjoys but also acknowledging his unique preferences and passions.

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.”
