Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys fruit picking and jam making, there are a variety of meaningful and practical gift ideas that can enhance his hobbies. Consider the following options:

1. Fruit Picking Basket: Gift him a sturdy and durable fruit picking basket that will make his fruit picking adventures more convenient. Look for options with adjustable straps that can be worn around the waist, allowing him to have both hands free.

2. Jam Making Kit: A jam making kit would be a perfect gift for your son. Look for a comprehensive set that includes all the essential tools and supplies, such as a large pot, mason jars, canning funnel, jar lifter, and a recipe book. This will provide him with everything he needs to create his delicious homemade jams.

3. Fruit Trees or Berry Bushes: If your son has the space, consider gifting him fruit trees or berry bushes. This will not only allow him to further indulge in fruit picking but also provide a long-lasting gift that will bear fruit for years to come. Research which types of trees or bushes thrive in your son's climate and choose accordingly.

4. Jam Making Classes or Workshops: Search for local cooking schools or community centers that offer jam making classes or workshops. Enrolling him in a hands-on class will not only allow him to develop his jam making skills but also provide him with the opportunity to socialize with other like-minded individuals who share his passion.

5. Recipe Book: A comprehensive recipe book focused specifically on jam making would make a wonderful gift. Look for one that includes a wide range of fruit combinations and flavor profiles, as well as helpful tips and techniques. This will inspire your son to experiment with new recipes and enhance his jam making skills.

6. Subscription to a Fruit Delivery Service: Consider a subscription to a fruit delivery service that offers a variety of fresh and seasonal fruits. This will provide your son with a continuous supply of high-quality ingredients for his jam making experiments, as well as the opportunity to try new fruits that may not be readily available in his area.

7. Personalized Apron or Cutting Board: Surprise your son with a personalized apron or cutting board featuring his name or a fun fruit-related design. This thoughtful gift will add a personal touch to his jam making endeavors and make him smile every time he uses it.

Remember to wrap your gift with love and write a heartfelt note expressing how proud you are of his passion for fruit picking and jam making.

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.”
