Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who is passionate about plant-based cooking and vegan cuisine, I have a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that I'm sure he will love.

1. Vegan Cookbook: A cookbook dedicated to vegan recipes would be a fantastic gift for your son. Look for one that focuses on creative plant-based dishes, showcases diverse flavors, and provides helpful tips and techniques. Some popular options include "Thug Kitchen: Eat Like You Give a F*ck" or "Oh She Glows Everyday" by Angela Liddon.

2. Cooking Classes: Consider giving your son the gift of a vegan cooking class. This experience will not only enhance his culinary skills but also provide an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals. Look for local cooking schools or community centers that offer plant-based or vegan cooking classes.

3. High-Quality Kitchen Tools: Help your son upgrade his kitchen tools to make his cooking experience more enjoyable. Consider gifting him high-quality items like a food processor, blender, or a high-performance chef's knife. These tools can elevate his plant-based cooking and make preparing meals easier and more efficient.

4. Specialty Ingredients or Subscription Box: Support your son's plant-based cooking journey by providing him with unique and hard-to-find ingredients. Look for a specialty store or online retailer that offers a wide range of vegan products like exotic spices, vegan cheeses, plant-based protein sources, or artisanal sauces. Alternatively, you could also consider a subscription box that delivers new and exciting vegan products to his doorstep each month.

5. Indoor Herb Garden: Encourage your son's love for fresh ingredients by giving him an indoor herb garden kit. This will allow him to grow his favorite herbs all year round, enhancing the flavors in his dishes. Look for a kit with a variety of herbs like basil, thyme, and rosemary, along with all the necessary supplies to support healthy growth.

6. Personalized Apron or Chef's Hat: Show your son how proud you are of his passion for plant-based cooking by gifting him a personalized apron or chef's hat. You can have his name or a fun vegan-related slogan embroidered on it. This thoughtful and practical gift will make him feel special and inspire him every time he puts it on.

7. Food Experiences: Consider treating your son to a special vegan dining experience. Look for vegan or plant-based restaurants in your area and book a reservation for him and a guest. This will give him the opportunity to try new dishes and be inspired by the creativity of professional vegan chefs.

Remember, the most important thing is to choose a gift that reflects your son's interests and passions. By selecting a present that caters to his love for plant-based cooking and vegan cuisine, you're not only giving him something he will appreciate, but also showing your support and encouragement for his chosen lifestyle.

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.”
