Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys reading and book club discussions, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider for Christmas. These gifts will not only cater to his interests, but also enhance his reading experience and provide opportunities for engaging discussions. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Book Subscription Service: Surprise your son with a book subscription service that sends him a new book every month. Choose a service that specializes in his preferred genre or offers a variety of reading options. This way, he can explore new books and participate in book club discussions with fellow subscribers.

2. Personalized Bookplates: Help him personalize his book collection with custom bookplates. These can be engraved with his name or a special message, adding a personal touch to his favorite books. Not only will this make his books feel more special, but it will also serve as a reminder of your love and support for his reading passion.

3. Thought-Provoking Book Set: Curate a set of thought-provoking books that align with his reading interests. These books could be classics, award-winning novels, or contemporary fiction with deep themes. Include a note explaining why you chose each book and suggest having book club discussions with him, either one-on-one or with friends who share his love for reading.

4. Reading Journal or Book Blogging Kit: Engage your son in reflective reading by gifting him a reading journal or a book blogging kit. This gift will encourage him to analyze and articulate his thoughts about the books he reads, and also help him document his reading journey. Additionally, a book blogging kit can inspire him to start a book blog or contribute to online book club discussions.

5. Literary-themed Merchandise: Consider purchasing literary-themed merchandise, such as bookish t-shirts, mugs, or tote bags featuring book quotes, characters, or book club slogans. This will allow your son to proudly display his love for reading and spark conversations with like-minded individuals.

6. Access to Online Book Clubs: Gift your son a membership to an online book club platform, where he can join virtual discussions with readers from around the world. This will give him the opportunity to connect with a diverse range of individuals who share his passion for books. Look for book club platforms that offer a wide selection of genres and have active and engaging members.

Remember to consider your son's specific reading preferences and favorite genres while choosing the gift. By selecting a meaningful and personal present that caters to his love for reading and book club discussions, you will not only support his interests but also foster his intellectual growth and social connections.

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.”
