Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys listening to podcasts and audiobooks, there are several thoughtful gift ideas that can enhance his listening experience and make his hobby even more enjoyable. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Subscription to an Audiobook Service: Consider getting your son a subscription to popular audiobook platforms like Audible, Audiobooks.com, or Scribd. These services offer a vast library of audiobooks across various genres, ensuring he always has something new to listen to.

2. Noise-Canceling Headphones: Great headphones can make a significant difference in the audio quality and overall listening experience. Look for a pair of noise-canceling headphones that can immerse him in the podcast or audiobook without any external distractions.

3. Podcast Merchandise: If there is a particular podcast your son really enjoys, consider purchasing some merchandise related to that podcast. It could be a t-shirt, mug, or a poster featuring his favorite podcast's logo or catchphrase. This gift will not only show support for his favorite podcast but will also add a personal touch to his collection.

4. Bluetooth Speaker: A portable Bluetooth speaker is an excellent gift for someone who loves listening to audio content. It will allow your son to listen to his favorite podcasts or audiobooks anywhere in the house without having to wear headphones.

5. Car Mount or Stand: If your son enjoys listening to podcasts or audiobooks during his commute, a car mount or stand would be a valuable gift. It will allow him to keep his smartphone easily accessible and safely positioned while driving.

6. Audible Credits: If your son already uses Audible or a similar service, consider gifting him some additional audiobook credits. This will give him the freedom to choose audiobooks of his liking. Alternatively, you can help him discover a new author by gifting him a specific audiobook title that you think he might enjoy.

7. Personalized Bookmarks: If your son prefers physical copies of books as well, consider purchasing some personalized bookmarks. You can have bookmarks made with his name or favorite quotes from his favorite podcasts or authors. This can be a practical and sentimental gift.

Remember, the most meaningful gifts come from knowing the person's preferences and interests. Consider his favorite genres of books or podcasts, his favorite authors or hosts, and any particular series he might be interested in. By tailoring your gift to his unique tastes, you'll show that you value his hobbies and interests.

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.”
