Five Star Gift Ideas

That's wonderful that your son has an interest in herbal remedies and natural medicine. There are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider for him this Christmas.

1. Books: Look for books that explore the various aspects of herbal medicine and natural remedies. You can choose from introductory books to advanced guides based on your son's knowledge level. Some popular titles include "The Herbal Medicine-Maker's Handbook" by James Green and "Herbal Medicine for Beginners" by Katja Swift and Ryn Midura.

2. Herb Growing Kit: Encourage your son's passion by gifting him a herb growing kit. This can include seeds, pots, and soil for him to start his own herbal garden at home. Choose a kit that offers a variety of different medicinal herbs like lavender, chamomile, or peppermint.

3. Essential Oils Set: Essential oils are an integral part of natural medicine. Consider a set of high-quality essential oils that your son can use for various remedies and therapeutic purposes. Look for oils like lavender, eucalyptus, tea tree, and peppermint, which have multiple uses and health benefits.

4. Subscription to Herbal Magazines: Sign your son up for a subscription to a herbal magazine or publication. This will allow him to stay updated with the latest research, herbal recipes, and tips from experts in the field. Some popular magazines include "Herb Quarterly" and "Mother Earth Living."

5. Herbal Tea Collection: Herbal teas are not only delicious but also have various health benefits. Gift your son a collection of different herbal tea blends like chamomile, peppermint, ginger, and lemon balm. You can also include a tea infuser or a tea-making set for a complete gift.

6. Online Courses: Check if there are any online courses or workshops available on herbal medicine and natural remedies. Enrolling your son in a course will not only enhance his knowledge but also provide a practical learning experience. Websites like Udemy and Coursera offer a range of options to choose from.

7. Herb Drying Rack: If your son enjoys growing and harvesting his own herbs, a herb drying rack can be a thoughtful gift. This will allow him to dry and preserve his herbs for future use. Look for a space-saving and durable rack that can easily fit in his kitchen or garden area.

8. Natural Medicine Starter Kit: Put together a natural medicine starter kit for your son, including essential oils, carrier oils, herbs, tinctures, and other supplies. You can also add a personalized journal or notebook for him to document his remedies and experiments.

Remember, the most important thing is to support and nurture your son's interest in herbal remedies and natural medicine. Choose a gift that not only aligns with his passion but also encourages further exploration and learning.

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.”
