Five Star Gift Ideas

What a great interest your son has! Here are a few gift ideas that I think might be meaningful and personal for him:

1. A special edition of his favorite Fyodor Dostoevsky book: There are many special editions of Dostoevsky's works available, from beautiful leather-bound versions to limited edition prints. You could consider getting him a signed or hard-to-find copy of his favorite Dostoevsky book.

2. A trip to St. Petersburg: Dostoevsky spent a lot of time in St. Petersburg and many of his works are set there. If your son has never been, maybe you could plan a trip for the two of you to visit the city and explore some of the sites that inspired Dostoevsky's writing.

3. A custom-made bookmark: Since your son is an avid reader, he may appreciate a personalized bookmark with a quote from one of his favorite Dostoevsky novels. You can easily find craftsmen who can make lovely bookmarks like that nowadays.

4. An audiobook of a beloved novel: If your son prefers audiobooks, consider looking for an audiobook version of one of his favorite Dostoevsky novels.

5. A biography or documentary about Dostoevsky's life: If your son is interested in Dostoevsky beyond his writing, you could look for a biography or documentary about the author's life. This will allow him to learn more about the man behind the words.

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.”
