If your son enjoys listening to true crime podcasts, there are several gift ideas that might align with his interests and enhance his podcast experience. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. True Crime Books: Help him dive deeper into the world of true crime with some compelling books on the subject. Some notable titles in this genre include "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" by Michelle McNamara, "Helter Skelter" by Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry, or "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote.

2. Murder Mystery Games: Elevate his love for true crime to a more interactive level with murder mystery games. These games are designed to engage players in solving fictional crimes, providing an immersive experience that is both thrilling and entertaining. Some popular options include "Hunt A Killer" or "The Broken Token Box of Mystery."

3. Podcast Merchandise: Many popular true crime podcasts offer merchandise that fans can proudly wear or display, such as t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, or stickers. Check out the official websites or online stores of his favorite podcasts to find some unique and personalized items.

4. Audiobook Subscription: If your son enjoys listening to true crime stories while on the go, consider gifting him a subscription to an audiobook service like Audible. This will provide him with access to a vast collection of true crime audiobooks, allowing him to explore different cases across various platforms.

5. Crime Documentary DVDs: Expand his true crime library with documentary DVDs that delve into real-life criminal cases. Some gripping titles to consider are "Making a Murderer," "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst," or "The Staircase." These documentaries offer a more visual experience and can provide additional insights into famous cases.

6. Online Coursera Course: If your son has a strong interest in true crime and is eager to learn more about it, you could gift him an online course related to criminal investigations or criminology. Platforms like Coursera offer a range of options in this field that can help him gain a deeper understanding of the subject.

Remember, regardless of the gift you choose, it's important to consider his specific interests and preferences. By tailoring the gift to his love for true crime podcasts, you'll show that you put thought and effort into selecting a meaningful present.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
