Five Star Gift Ideas

For the book-loving and review-writing son in your life, there are plenty of thoughtful gift options that cater to his passion. Here are a few ideas to help you find the perfect Christmas gift:

1. Personalized Book Embosser: Help him add a professional touch to his book collection by gifting him a personalized book embosser. This is a unique and practical gift that allows him to have his own unique stamp on the books he loves. It will make him feel even more connected to his hobby and add a special touch to his collection.

2. Book Subscription Box: Consider surprising him with a book subscription box tailored to his reading preferences. These boxes usually include new releases, personalized recommendations, and book-related goodies. They'll not only introduce him to new books and authors but also offer an element of surprise every month.

3. Reading Journal or Book Planner: If your son enjoys writing book reviews, a reading journal or book planner would be an excellent gift. It can help him organize his thoughts, keep track of books he wants to read, and document his reviews. Look for a journal or planner with sections for ratings, notes, favorite quotes, and space for his own reflections.

4. Signed or Special Edition Books: If your son has a favorite author or book series, try to find signed or special edition books. These can be highly cherished additions to his collection and make him feel even more connected to his favorite authors. Look for limited editions or collector's editions that come with extra content, illustrations, or exclusive bookplates.

5. Bookish Merchandise: Book-themed merchandise can be a great stocking stuffer or an additional gift. Consider items like literary-inspired t-shirts, tote bags featuring book quotes or covers, book-themed mugs, bookmarks, or literary-inspired candles. These small but meaningful gifts can help him showcase his love for reading and books even outside the pages.

6. Bookstore or Amazon Gift Cards: If you are unsure about which books to choose, a gift card allows him to select the ones on his wish list. Whether it's a gift card to his favorite local bookstore or an online retailer like Amazon, this gives him the freedom to explore and choose books that pique his interest.

7. Literary-themed Events or Workshops: Keep an eye out for any literary events or workshops happening in your area. Whether it's a book signing, writer's workshop, or literary festival, attending such events can be a fantastic experience for your son and allow him to interact with fellow book enthusiasts and authors.

Remember, the most important thing when selecting a gift is to consider your son's specific interests and preferences. By choosing a gift that aligns with his love for reading and reviewing books, you are sure to find something that he will cherish and appreciate.

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.”
