Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for psychology and human behavior, here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas that he will surely appreciate:

1. Books on Psychology: Gift him a collection of books from renowned psychologists or titles that delve into various areas of psychology such as cognitive psychology, behavioral psychology, or social psychology. Some suggested books include "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman, "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" by Robert Cialdini, or "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" by Oliver Sacks.

2. Subscription to a Psychology Magazine: Consider gifting your son a subscription to a psychology magazine like Psychology Today. This will keep him updated with the latest research, theories, and trends in the field of psychology.

3. Online Courses or Workshops: Enroll him in an online course or workshop related to psychology. Websites like Coursera or Udemy offer a wide range of psychology courses to choose from. This will provide him with an opportunity to deepen his knowledge and explore specific areas of interest within psychology.

4. Psychometric Tests: Gift him a psychometric test or personality assessment tool like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) or the Big Five Personality Test. These tests can provide valuable insights into his own personality traits and behavior, allowing him to further understand human behavior and himself.

5. Mindfulness and Meditation Kit: Psychology often emphasizes the importance of mindfulness and self-awareness. Consider putting together a mindfulness and meditation kit for your son. Include items such as a guided meditation CD, a meditation cushion, a journal for reflection, and aromatherapy oils to create a calm and focused atmosphere.

6. Board Games: There are several board games that revolve around psychology and human behavior. "Psychology: A Game of Choices" and "Cranium Pop 5" are excellent options to stimulate his interest and challenge his knowledge in a fun and interactive way.

7. Tickets to Psychology Conferences or Lectures: Keep an eye out for psychology conferences or guest lecture events happening in your area. Purchase tickets for your son to attend these events, where he can learn from experts in the field and interact with like-minded individuals.

8. Documentaries and Films: Consider gifting your son thought-provoking documentaries or films related to psychology and human behavior. Examples include "The Stanford Prison Experiment," "Inside Out," or "Man on Wire."

9. Personalize a Psychology-related Item: If your son has a favorite psychologist or theory, you can personalize a gift item like a t-shirt, mug, or poster featuring the psychologist's name or quote. This will showcase his interest and passion for psychology.

Remember, the best gifts are those that align with your son's specific interests and hobbies. By choosing a gift related to his love for psychology and human behavior, you are not only giving him a meaningful and personal present but also supporting his intellectual growth and passion.

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

“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.”
