Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is a fan of John Green, there are plenty of gift options that he would appreciate and enjoy. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Books: Start with the obvious choice - books written by John Green. If he hasn't already read all of them, consider getting the ones he's missing. Popular titles include "The Fault in Our Stars," "Looking for Alaska," "Paper Towns," and "Turtles All the Way Down."

2. Collectors' Edition: Look into special editions of John Green's books, which often come with additional content, illustrations, or bonus material. These editions can make a fantastic gift for a dedicated fan, as they provide a unique reading experience.

3. John Green Merchandise: There is an array of John Green-inspired merchandise available. Consider getting him a t-shirt, hoodie, or a poster featuring quotes from his favorite books. You can also find accessories like mugs, bookmarks, or phone cases adorned with John Green-themed designs.

4. Signed Copies: Check if there are any signed copies of John Green's books available. Signed books make for incredibly special and personal gifts. Look for them in online bookstores or at author events near you. Alternatively, consider purchasing a bookplate signed by John Green that can be affixed to his favorite book.

5. An Adaptable Gift: If your son enjoys watching movies or TV shows based on books, you could create a gift package including both the book and its movie adaptation. John Green's books have been adapted into films, such as "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Paper Towns." Pairing the book with the movie would provide a full experience for him to enjoy.

6. Subscription to Nerdfighteria: Encourage your son's involvement in John Green's online community by subscribing him to Nerdfighteria, the YouTube channel co-run by John Green and his brother, Hank Green. By becoming a Nerdfighter, he can connect with fellow fans, watch exclusive content, and participate in charity initiatives.

7. Personalized Journal: If your son enjoys writing or journaling, consider getting him a personalized journal. You could choose one with John Green quotes or imagery on the cover, or even have his favorite quote embossed on the front. This gift would seamlessly blend his love for John Green's books with his own personal creativity.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is the thought behind it. By selecting a gift that aligns with your son's interests and passion for John Green's work, you are showing him that you care and pay attention to his hobbies and preferences.

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.”
