Five Star Gift Ideas

For a rum enthusiast like your son, there are several thoughtful and unique gift ideas to consider. Here are a few options that could make his Christmas extra special:

1. Rum Tasting Set: A rum tasting set is a great way to explore various flavors and styles of rum. Look for sets that include a selection of different rums from around the world, allowing your son to discover new favorite brands and types. You can even find sets that come with tasting notes and a guide to enhance the experience.

2. Distillery Tour or Tasting Experience: Consider booking a distillery tour or arranging a rum tasting experience for your son. Many distilleries offer guided tours where he can learn about the rum-making process and sample different varieties. This could be a fun and educational outing that allows him to further indulge in his passion for rum.

3. Rum Recipe Book: If your son enjoys experimenting with rum-based cocktails, a recipe book dedicated to rum drinks would be a perfect gift. Look for a book that features a wide range of cocktail recipes, including classics and modern creations. The book could also provide information about the history and production of different rums.

4. Artisanal Rum: Seek out unique, artisanal rums that are crafted with care and attention to detail. These rums often have distinct flavors and qualities that can elevate his tasting experience. Consider gifting him a bottle of a rare, limited-edition rum or one that has received accolades from experts.

5. Rum Accessories: Enhance your son's rum tasting experience with some essential accessories. Consider gifting him a set of high-quality, crystal glasses designed specifically for rum. You could also include other accessories such as a stylish jigger, a muddler or a cocktail shaker.

6. Rum Subscription Box: A subscription to a rum of the month club can be a delightful gift for your son. Each month he will receive a curated selection of rums right at his doorstep, allowing him to continually discover new and exciting rums from all over the world. This ongoing gift will keep his passion alive long after Christmas is over.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows you understand and support his interests. Take into account his preferences and the level of knowledge he has about rum. Whether it's a new bottle to try or an immersive experience, these thoughtful gifts will surely make his Christmas memorable.

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.”
