Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is a fan of fantasy novels, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift options that can make his Christmas extra special. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Special edition/book set: Look for special editions or box sets of his favorite fantasy series. Many publishers release limited editions with beautiful cover designs or additional content like maps or illustrations. This can be a treasured addition to his bookshelf and enhance his reading experience.

2. Signed books: Is there a fantasy author he admires? Check if there are any signed copies available of his favorite books. This adds a personal touch and makes the gift more unique. It can also be a great opportunity for him to connect with his favorite author on a deeper level.

3. Bookish merchandise: Consider getting him merchandise related to his favorite fantasy novels. This can include items like t-shirts, mugs, posters, or even jewelry inspired by the book series or characters he loves. It's a fantastic way for him to show his love for the genre and the books he enjoys.

4. Book subscription box: Many companies offer book subscription boxes specifically tailored to fantasy readers. These boxes usually contain a newly released fantasy novel along with bookish goodies like bookmarks, author letters, or themed items related to the book. Subscription boxes can provide a monthly surprise for your son and introduce him to new authors and series.

5. Fantasy-themed artwork: If he enjoys the visual aspect of fantasy novels, consider getting him artwork related to his favorite books. This could be a poster of a book cover, fan art from talented artists, or even custom art featuring characters or scenes from the books. It will not only decorate his room but also remind him of his favorite stories.

6. Writing materials: If your son has expressed an interest in writing his own fantasy stories, you can support his creative endeavors by gifting him writing materials. Look for a high-quality notebook, pens, or even a fancy typewriter if he prefers a retro feel. This will encourage him to explore his own imagination and perhaps develop his writing skills.

7. Experience-based gifts: Consider planning an experience related to his love for fantasy novels. This could include tickets to a fantasy convention or a live reading by his favorite author, a visit to a themed escape room, or even a trip to a destination that inspired the settings in his beloved books. These experiences can be truly memorable and allow him to immerse himself in the world of fantasy.

Remember, the most important thing when choosing a gift for your son is to consider his personal interests and preferences. By choosing something that reflects his love for fantasy novels, you are not only giving him a thoughtful present but also showing your support for his 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.”
