Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is interested in cultural anthropology, there are plenty of gift options that you can consider which would fit his interests. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Books on anthropology: Your son may already be well-read in the subject, but there are always new titles coming out, and he may not have gotten to all of them yet. You can choose from memoirs, historical anthropological studies or socio-cultural commentaries on the topic.

2. Subscription to a magazine: There are a number of magazines such as the Anthropology Review, which would be of interest to anthropology lovers. Getting him a subscription will enable him to be up to date with fresh information, and provide him with interesting articles to read in his spare time.

3. Museum Membership: Various museums offer memberships, which allow unlimited visits to the museum, as well as other perks which may include discounts on merchandise and access to special exhibitions. This would choose a membership to a museum that is within your son's locality or has exhibits that exploit his interests.

4. Films, Documentaries, and Podcasts: Various cultural anthropology films, documentaries, and podcasts are available that can help your son learn more about the subject in a fun and interactive way. Purchase a collection of documentaries, film or podcast series from leading anthropologists that will entertain and educate him.

5. Cultural artifacts: If your son travels a lot and enjoys continued possession of souvenirs from his trips, you could opt to get him authentic cultural artifacts from his destination. These could be things like traditional fabrics, music, or art.

6. Handwritten-inscribed artifacts: Consider personalizing a gift item for your son such as a hand-written letter or a stone inscribed with words of inspiration or a message from a famous anthropologist about the importance of cultural anthropology.

7. Travel-related gifts: On the chance that he is into experiencing diverse ethnic groups and cultures, invite him traveling in Christmas. There are a plethora of airlines boasting of must-visit places, and your son will surely appreciate the gesture. Choose where he would like to visit based on his interests or maybe accompany him just to make the experience more memorable.

In conclusion, choosing a gift for someone that loves cultural anthropology can be an excellent opportunity to get creative and think outside the box. Whether you opt for a book, membership, museum excursion, or any of the other ideas mentioned above, do what you can to let your son know that you appreciate and support his interest in cultural anthropology.

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.”
