Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys making homemade cheese and yogurt, there are plenty of thoughtful and practical gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas that might suit his interests:

1. Cheese Making Kit: A cheese making kit would be a great gift for your son. Look for a kit that includes all the necessary ingredients and equipment needed to make a variety of cheeses. This will allow him to explore different cheese-making techniques and experiment with flavors and textures.

2. Cheese Recipe Book: A book filled with cheese recipes can inspire your son's cheese-making adventures. Look for a comprehensive guide that covers various cheese styles, from soft to hard cheeses, and includes step-by-step instructions and illustrations. This can help him expand his knowledge and try out new recipes.

3. Cheese Aging Supplies: If your son enjoys the process of aging cheese, consider gifting him some cheese aging supplies. This could be cheese aging mats, cheese caves, or cheese aging bags that will help him refine his homemade cheese and achieve different flavors and textures.

4. Yogurt Maker: Since your son also enjoys making yogurt, a yogurt maker can be a practical and thoughtful gift. Look for one with adjustable temperature controls and a timer feature to ensure he can make consistent and delicious batches of yogurt at home.

5. Yogurt Recipe Book: To give your son more ideas and creative recipes for making yogurt, consider a recipe book that specifically focuses on yogurt-based dishes. From savory to sweet, such a book can provide him with inspiration to explore various flavors and preparations using his homemade yogurt.

6. Specialty Cheese Workshop/Class: If you want to give your son a truly unique and memorable experience, you could consider enrolling him in a specialty cheese-making workshop or class. This would provide him with the opportunity to learn from professionals, interact with other cheese enthusiasts, and further develop his cheese-making skills.

7. Subscription to a Cheese Club: To help your son discover new flavors and varieties of cheese, you could consider a subscription to a cheese club. These clubs typically send curated selections of artisanal cheeses to your doorstep, allowing your son to taste a wide range of unique cheeses from around the world.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought behind it, so consider your son's specific interests, preferences, and aspirations as you choose a gift for him.

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.”
