Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys indie music and underground bands, consider some unique and meaningful gifts that cater to his musical taste and passion. Here are a few ideas that might inspire you:

1. Vinyl Records: If your son enjoys the authentic sound and tactile experience of vinyl, surprise him with a vinyl record from one of his favorite indie bands. Research his favorite artists and albums and find a limited edition or special release that would make a great addition to his collection.

2. Concert Tickets: Nothing beats the experience of seeing a favorite band live. Check out upcoming concerts or festivals featuring indie or underground bands that he follows. Secure tickets to a show he might be interested in or opt for a festival pass where he can discover new talent as well.

3. Merchandise: Help your son show off his love for indie music by gifting him band merchandise. T-shirts, hoodies, posters, stickers, or even unique accessories like enamel pins or tote bags can be excellent options. Look for designs that represent his favorite bands or even items from local indie musicians.

4. Music Magazine Subscription: Keep him updated on the latest happenings in the indie music scene by subscribing him to a music magazine or independent zine. These magazines often feature interviews, reviews, and stories about emerging artists that he might find interesting.

5. Musical Instruments: If your son has expressed an interest in playing music or already plays an instrument, consider buying him a new one or high-quality accessories for his existing instruments. For example, an indie musician might appreciate a new guitar, a set of unique guitar pedals, or a stylish leather strap.

6. DIY Music Kit: For someone who is interested in music production and wants to explore creating their own sound, consider gifting a DIY music kit. These kits typically contain all the necessary components to build a synthesizer or other electronic music devices, allowing him to experiment with unique sound creation.

7. Music Book: If your son enjoys reading, consider gifting him a book related to indie music or a biography of his favorite band or artist. Look for titles that delve into the history, culture, or analysis of the indie music scene, helping him deepen his knowledge and understanding of the music he loves.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is the one that reflects your son's personal interests and passions. By considering his love for indie music and finding a gift that aligns with that passion, you are sure to bring joy and excitement to his holiday season.

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.”
