Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who is a fan of Magic: The Gathering and other trading card games, there are plenty of gift options that can enhance his gaming experience and show your support for his hobbies.

1. Card Packs: A great option for any trading card game enthusiast is to gift them card packs. In the case of Magic: The Gathering, booster packs containing a random selection of cards can be an exciting and adventurous gift. Your son will enjoy the anticipation of opening the packs and discovering new cards to add to his collection.

2. Deck Boxes: Keeping cards organized and protected is essential for any trading card player. Consider gifting your son a durable and stylish deck box. Opt for one that can hold multiple decks, has compartments for dice, tokens, and other accessories, and offers reliable protection for his precious cards.

3. Playmat: A playmat is not only practical but also adds a touch of personalization to a gaming setup. Find a playmat that features artwork from his favorite trading card game or artist. It will not only enhance his gaming experience by providing a dedicated play area but also serve as a unique keepsake.

4. Storage Binders: A storage binder is a useful gift for card collectors. It allows your son to organize and display his most valuable cards in a safe and accessible manner. Look for binders with protective sleeves that can hold multiple cards per page, ensuring that his cherished collection remains in excellent condition.

5. Card Sleeves: Card sleeves provide protection against wear and tear, ensuring that his favorite cards remain in pristine condition. Choose sleeves with unique artwork, themed designs, or specific game-related motifs to show your attention to detail and knowledge of his interests.

6. Subscription Boxes: Consider gifting your son a subscription to a trading card game subscription box. These boxes typically include booster packs, exclusive promos, and other collectibles specific to his favorite game. It's a gift that keeps on giving, as he will receive new surprises every month.

7. Official Merchandise: Delight your son by gifting him official merchandise related to his favorite trading card game. This could include t-shirts, hoodies, posters, or even themed accessories like keychains or mousepads. These items allow him to proudly showcase his love for the game outside of playing sessions.

8. Strategy Guides and Books: Expand his knowledge of the game by giving him strategy guides or books related to Magic: The Gathering. These resources can help him improve his skills, learn new tactics, and deepen his understanding of the game he loves.

9. Gaming Accessories: In addition to specific trading card game items, you could consider some general gaming accessories that would enhance his overall gaming experience. This could include a high-quality gaming mouse, ergonomic gaming chair, or a noise-canceling headset, depending on your budget.

10. Personalized Gifts: You can always add a personal touch to your gifts by customizing them. For example, you could get a custom-made playmat with his name on it or have a deck box engraved with a special message. These personalized gifts show your thoughtfulness and make the gift truly unique.

Remember, the most meaningful gifts are the ones that show your understanding and support for your son's interests. By tailoring your gift to his passion for trading card games, you're not only giving him something he'll enjoy but also showing him that his hobbies matter to you.

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.”
