Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys reading and book club participation, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider. Here are some suggestions:

1. Membership to a Book Club: Consider gifting your son a membership to a book club of his choice. There are numerous online book clubs that offer virtual discussions and book recommendations. This will not only provide him with a steady supply of books but also give him a sense of community and the opportunity to engage in thoughtful conversations with fellow book lovers.

2. Personalized Bookplate: A personalized bookplate makes for a thoughtful gift for someone who loves reading. You can order a custom-designed bookplate with his name or initials and maybe even a personal message. This will not only add a personal touch to his book collection but also make it easier for him to keep track of his books if he lends them to friends or fellow book club members.

3. E-Reader or Book Subscription: If your son enjoys reading on-the-go or prefers digital books, consider gifting him an e-reader. This will allow him to conveniently carry a whole library in one device. Additionally, you can also consider purchasing a subscription to an e-book service, like Kindle Unlimited or Audible, which will provide him with a wide range of books to choose from.

4. Bookstore or Online Gift Card: A gift card to a local bookstore or an online bookstore like Amazon will allow your son to select books of his choice. This gift ensures that he gets to choose what he wants to read and gives him the opportunity to explore different genres and authors.

5. Bookish Merchandise: Consider gifting your son some bookish merchandise like a literary-themed t-shirt, mug, or tote bag. There are several online stores that offer a variety of book-related accessories featuring quotes, artwork, or characters from his favorite books. This gift will allow him to showcase his love for reading and add a touch of literary charm to his everyday life.

6. Book Journal or Reading Planner: Help your son keep track of his reading progress and make notes with a book journal or reading planner. These journals often include sections for recording thoughts on books, tracking important quotes, or setting reading goals. This gift will not only serve as a practical tool but also encourage him to reflect on his reading experience and engage more deeply with the books he loves.

Remember, the most important thing is to choose a gift that aligns with your son's personal interests and preferences. By selecting something related to his love for reading and book club participation, you can be sure to give him a gift that he will cherish and enjoy.

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.”
