For your son who enjoys reading crime novels, there are some thoughtful and exciting gift options that you can explore this Christmas. Take a look at these ideas:

1. Crime Novel Box Set: Consider getting your son a box set of crime novels from his favorite author or a collection of classic crime novels. This will provide him with hours of thrilling reading material.

2. Mystery Subscription Box: Subscription boxes are a fantastic way to surprise your son with new crime novels on a regular basis. Look for a subscription service that specifically caters to mystery and crime genres, delivering curated picks each month.

3. True Crime Podcast or Audiobook Membership: If your son is also interested in real-life crime stories, consider gifting him a membership to a true crime podcast or audiobook platform. This will give him access to a vast library of gripping stories he can enjoy on the go.

4. Crime Novel Themed Merchandise: Help your son showcase his love for crime novels by gifting him merchandise inspired by his favorite books. This could include t-shirts, mugs, bookmarks, or even a crime novel-themed poster for his room.

5. Crime Novel Writing Workshop: If your son aspires to be a writer or is interested in exploring his own ideas, consider gifting him a workshop or online course focused on crime novel writing. This can provide him with invaluable guidance and inspiration from seasoned authors.

6. Mystery Board Game: Extend your son's love for crime-solving beyond reading with a mystery-themed board game. There's a range of board games available that allow players to become detectives, solving crimes and unraveling mysteries together.

7. Antique Detective Memorabilia: If your son has a fondness for all things vintage, consider gifting him antique detective memorabilia, such as old detective magazines, vintage crime novel editions, or even an antique magnifying glass.

8. Literary-themed Escape Room Experience: For a unique adventure, book an escape room experience with a crime novel theme. Your son will have the opportunity to put his detective skills to the test in a thrilling and immersive scenario.

9. Crime Novel-inspired Art: Commission or purchase a piece of artwork that represents the essence of your son's favorite crime novels. This could be a custom illustration depicting scenes from a book or a stylized portrait of a famous detective.

10. Bookstore Gift Card: Sometimes, the best gift is allowing your son to choose his next crime novel. A bookstore gift card will give him the freedom to explore new releases, discover new authors, and build his own collection.

Remember, the key to a meaningful gift is incorporating something your son truly enjoys. By tapping into his love for crime novels, you can find a gift that reflects his interests and shows him how much you care.

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