Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys reading non-fiction books, there are several thoughtful gift ideas that can cater to his interests and enhance his reading experience. Here are a few options you may consider:

1. Subscription to a non-fiction book club: Enroll your son in a non-fiction book club where he can receive a new book each month. This would expose him to a diverse selection of titles, introducing him to different topics and authors. It's a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year and allows him to build a collection of thought-provoking reads.

2. Kindle or e-reader: If your son hasn't jumped on the e-reading trend yet, gifting him a Kindle or e-reader could be a fantastic idea. This device would provide him the convenience of having multiple books at his fingertips, perfect for avid readers like him. Additionally, e-readers often offer features for highlighting, note-taking, and dictionary look-up, enhancing his reading experience.

3. Books by his favorite authors: Find out who his favorite non-fiction authors are and try to collect some of their lesser-known works or even signed copies if available. This would demonstrate that you pay attention to his interests and invest effort into finding books he may not have come across yet.

4. Book-related accessories: Consider a range of bookish gifts, such as bookmarks, bookplates, or a book subscription service that focuses specifically on non-fiction books. These accessories can add a touch of personalization and enhance his reading experience. You could also opt for a cozy reading blanket, a reading lamp, or a comfortable reading chair to create the perfect reading atmosphere.

5. Online course or workshop: If your son has a specific interest within the realm of non-fiction, gifting him an online course or workshop could be a valuable present. Platforms like MasterClass or Coursera offer a variety of courses on topics ranging from history and science to personal development. This not only provides educational value but also allows him to explore new areas and expand his knowledge.

6. Personalized book recommendation service: Consider signing your son up for a personalized book recommendation service. These services work by having users complete a questionnaire or chat with an expert who then curates a list of book recommendations tailored to their interests. It's a great way to discover new non-fiction titles that align with his preferences.

Remember, choosing a meaningful gift for someone who loves non-fiction books demonstrates that you understand and support their passions. Incorporating personalization, thoughtful selection, and considering their specific interests can go a long way in making the gift special and cherished.

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

“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.”
