Five Star Gift Ideas

How wonderful to hear that your son is passionate about supporting local businesses! This gives us plenty of meaningful gift ideas that would surely bring him joy this Christmas. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Gift cards to local businesses: Consider getting your son gift cards to his favorite local restaurants, cafes, or shops. This way, he can continue to enjoy and support these establishments while trying out new places in his community.

2. Subscription to a local goods delivery service: Many cities now have subscription services that deliver a curated selection of locally made products right to your door. You could sign your son up for a subscription that delivers items like coffee, artisanal foods, or handmade crafts from local businesses.

3. Membership to a local community organization: Look for local community organizations that he might be interested in joining, such as a sustainability group, a community garden, or a local trade or craft association. Paying for his membership would not only support these organizations, but also provide opportunities for your son to connect with like-minded individuals.

4. Unique artwork or crafts from local artists: Seek out local art galleries or artisan markets where you can find unique and one-of-a-kind pieces created by talented local artists. Consider selecting a painting, sculpture, or piece of pottery that aligns with your son's taste and interests.

5. Tickets to local events or workshops: Check out upcoming local events, concerts, workshops, or conferences that align with his interests. Whether it's a local music festival, a gardening workshop, or a sustainability conference, these experiences can provide him with valuable knowledge, inspiration, and opportunities to network with individuals who share his passion for supporting local businesses.

6. Volunteering or mentoring opportunities: Explore opportunities for your son to volunteer or mentor at local organizations or startups. This could provide him with a chance to use his skills and knowledge to make a difference in his community while connecting with other local businesses and individuals.

Remember, the most important aspect of choosing a gift for your son is to show that you appreciate and support his passions. By selecting a gift that aligns with his love for local businesses, you'll not only bring him joy but also demonstrate your understanding and encouragement for his interests.

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.”
