Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who has a great interest in fashion history, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider:

1. Fashion History Books: Consider purchasing some well-acclaimed fashion history books that delve into different eras of fashion. Look for titles that cover the evolution of fashion trends, designers, and iconic looks throughout history. This will allow your son to expand his knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of the subject.

2. Museum or Exhibition Tickets: Check if there are any fashion-related exhibitions or museums nearby that you and your son can visit together. Many museums often have exhibits dedicated to fashion history, showcasing iconic garments, accessories, and the works of famous designers. Attending such exhibitions will provide your son with a hands-on experience and a chance to see the items and influences he's studied up close.

3. Fashion Magazines: Subscribe to a renowned fashion magazine or consider gifting a collection of vintage fashion magazines. Magazines like "Vogue," "Harper's Bazaar," or "Elle" often feature articles that discuss fashion history, iconic runway shows, and influential designers. Your son can enjoy reading these magazines and staying updated on the latest trends while also gaining insights into the past.

4. Online Fashion Courses: If your son wants to deepen his knowledge or even pursue a career in fashion history, enrolling him in an online fashion course can be an excellent gift. Look for reputable online platforms that offer courses on fashion history, or consider purchasing him a subscription to websites that provide access to a variety of fashion-related educational resources.

5. Fashion-related Art: Consider gifting your son a piece of art that reflects his love for fashion history. It could be a vintage fashion sketch, a poster featuring a renowned designer, or even a print of a historic fashion photograph. This gift will not only decorate his space but also serve as a constant reminder of his passion.

6. Fashion Documentaries: Compile a collection of fashion documentaries or movies that focus on fashion history. Many documentaries explore the lives of designers, discuss significant fashion movements, and provide insights into the industry. Pairing these DVDs with some popcorn and a cozy movie night is a great way for your son to relax while further immersing himself in his favorite subject.

Remember to personalize the gift by adding a heartfelt note or a handcrafted card expressing your support for his passion and pride in his love for fashion history. Such thoughtful gestures will make the gift even more special and meaningful to your son.

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.”
