Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves gardening and growing herbs, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that he would surely appreciate:

1. Herb Garden Kit: Consider getting him a herb garden kit that includes everything he needs to start his own herb garden. Look for a kit that includes a variety of herb seeds, soil, plant markers, and even a mini greenhouse. This will give him the opportunity to grow his favorite herbs and expand his gardening skills.

2. Gardening Tools: Every gardener needs reliable tools. Look for a set of high-quality gardening tools that are specifically designed for herb gardening. Include essential tools such as a trowel, pruners, and a garden fork. You can even personalize the tools by engraving his name on the handles.

3. Herb Drying Rack: If your son enjoys using herbs in cooking or tea-making, a herb drying rack would be a fantastic gift. It will allow him to dry and preserve his freshly harvested herbs easily. Look for a rack that is made of durable and easily cleanable material, and has enough space for different herb varieties.

4. Gardening Books: Expand your son's knowledge and passion for gardening by gifting him some informative and inspirational gardening books. Look for books that specifically focus on herb gardening, such as herb identification guides, herb recipes, or books that offer tips and tricks for growing herbs successfully.

5. Indoor Herb Growing Kit: If your son is limited on outdoor space or lives in an apartment, an indoor herb growing kit would be an excellent choice. These kits typically include a variety of herb seeds, pots, soil, and an LED grow light. This gift will allow him to continue his herb-growing hobby even in small spaces.

6. Herb-infused Cooking Oils and Vinegars: If your son enjoys cooking with herbs, a set of herb-infused cooking oils or vinegars would be a thoughtful gift. Look for a variety set that includes different herb flavors, such as rosemary, basil, or thyme. These can elevate his culinary creations and add a personal touch to his dishes.

7. Garden Journal: Encourage your son to document his gardening journey with a garden journal. Look for a journal that has space for him to record his observations, sketch garden layouts, and make notes about his herb plants. This will not only help him keep track of his progress but also become a meaningful keepsake.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is to show your son that you understand and support his interests. By selecting a gift that is tailored to his passion for gardening and growing herbs, you are sure to make this Christmas extra special for him.

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.”
