Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is interested in entomophagy (the practice of eating insects), then there are many unique and thoughtful gift options available! Here are some ideas to consider:

1. Edible Insects: One of the most obvious gift options for someone interested in entomophagy is edible insects! While it may be difficult to find these locally, there are many online retailers that specialize in insect snacks. From cricket chips to chocolate-covered ants, there are many options available that your son is sure to enjoy.

2. Insect Farming Kit: Another option is to gift your son an insect farming kit. This will allow him to raise his own edible insects, which can be a fun and educational experience. You can find kits that are designed for beginners and are easy to set up, with all the necessary materials included.

3. Insect Cookbook: There are many cookbooks available that feature recipes using insects. This could be a great gift for your son, as it will allow him to get creative in the kitchen and experiment with new ingredients. Some popular insect cookbooks include "The Insect Cookbook: Food for a Sustainable Planet" and "Bugs for Beginners: The Most Comprehensive Guide to Edible Insects on the Planet."

4. Insect Art: If your son appreciates the beauty of insects, then you might consider gifting him a piece of insect art. This could be a print or painting of his favorite insect, or a more abstract piece inspired by the beauty of insect patterns and colors.

5. Insect Identification Guide: For someone who is truly passionate about entomology, an insect identification guide can be a great gift. This will allow your son to learn more about the different species of insects and their characteristics, and may even inspire him to pursue a career in entomology.

6. Insect-Inspired Clothing: Finally, if your son is a fan of entomophagy, he may appreciate clothing or accessories that feature insects as part of their design. This could include t-shirts with insect motifs, or even jewelry that features a small insect charm.

No matter which gift option you choose, your son is sure to appreciate the thoughtfulness and creativity behind your choice. By finding a gift that speaks to his interests and passions, you'll be able to create a truly meaningful and memorable Christmas experience.

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.”
