Five Star Gift Ideas

That's a great interest to work with! Here are a few gift ideas that might appeal to your son:

1. Criterion Collection: Many foreign film buffs consider Criterion Collection to be the holy grail of film collections. They offer a wide range of classic and contemporary international films, restored and remastered for the highest quality viewing experience.

2. Film Festival Passes: Consider gifting your son with passes to attend a foreign film festival. He can watch the newest releases from around the world and maybe even meet some of his favorite directors.

3. Subscription to a Foreign Film Streaming Service: There are numerous streaming services that specialize in foreign films. Some of the most popular options are Mubi, FilmStruck, and Netflix's World Cinema option. Consider gifting your son a subscription to one of these services so he can discover new international films from the comfort of his own home.

4. Foreign Film Posters: Does your son have a favorite foreign film? Consider getting him a poster or print of the movie to hang up in his room. He'll appreciate the opportunity to display his love of foreign films in his personal space.

5. Foreign Language Lessons: If your son loves foreign films, he may also be interested in learning a new language. Consider gifting him with language lessons or a language learning app so he can better appreciate foreign films and cultures.

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.”
