Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who loves reading books, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that will make his Christmas extra special. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. Book Subscription Box: Consider getting him a book subscription box that delivers a carefully curated selection of books to his doorstep every month. This way, he can discover new titles and genres that he may not have come across otherwise. Plus, it's like a treat that keeps on giving, as he'll have something to look forward to each month.

2. Personalized Bookplate: If your son enjoys collecting and treasuring his books, a personalized bookplate would be a thoughtful gift. You can have his name or initials engraved on it, making it a unique and personal addition to his book collection. Every time he loans a book to a friend or family member, the bookplate will serve as a reminder of his ownership.

3. Literary-themed Merchandise: Search for literary-themed merchandise related to his favorite books or authors. This could include t-shirts, mugs, tote bags, or even posters. You can find items featuring quotes, book covers, or illustrations from classic and contemporary literature. It's a great way for him to show off his love for books and express his unique taste.

4. Bookish Experience: Consider giving your son the gift of a bookish experience, such as a visit to a famous bookstore, a literary tour, or even a writers' conference. By immersing himself in the world of literature in a more interactive way, he can deepen his passion for reading while creating lasting memories.

5. eReader or Tablet: If your son enjoys reading books digitally, consider gifting him an eReader or tablet. These devices offer a convenient and portable way to access a vast collection of books, making it easier for him to indulge in his reading hobby wherever he goes. You can even preload it with a few of his favorite titles to make the gift even more special.

6. Autographed Book: If your son has a favorite author, try to find out if they have any autographed copies of their books available for purchase. It could be a signed edition of his most-loved book or a newly released one. The personalized touch of the author's signature will make it a treasured item for him.

7. Literary-inspired Jewelry: Consider gifting your son a piece of jewelry inspired by his favorite book or author. There are designs available that feature iconic symbols, quotes, or even book covers. Whether it's a necklace, bracelet, or cufflinks, it will serve as a constant reminder of his love for literature.

Remember, no matter which gift you choose, it's the thought and effort behind it that will make it truly special. Taking into account his specific interests and preferences shows how much you care, making the gift more meaningful and personal.

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.”
