Five Star Gift Ideas

For your Shakespeare-loving son, there are many thoughtful and personal gift options that embrace his passion for reading and theater performance. Here are a few ideas:

1. Complete Works of Shakespeare Collectible Set: Consider gifting him a beautiful collector's edition of Shakespeare's complete works. There are various editions available, ranging from beautifully bound hardcovers to leather-bound classics, making it a timeless gift that he can treasure for years to come.

2. Tickets to a Shakespearean Play: Treat your son to a live theater experience by gifting him tickets to a Shakespearean play or a theater performance that features works by Shakespeare. Whether it's a local production or a renowned theater company, the opportunity to witness the words of his favorite playwright come to life on stage is bound to be a memorable experience.

3. Shakespearean Insults Mug: If your son has a sense of humor, a Shakespearean insults mug might be a playful and unique gift idea. These mugs feature witty insults from Shakespeare's plays and can be a fun addition to his morning routine or a quirky addition to his collection of Shakespeare memorabilia.

4. Shakespearean Quote Wall Art: Consider purchasing a piece of wall art that features a meaningful quote from one of Shakespeare's plays. Whether it's a framed print, a canvas, or even a calligraphy-style artwork, this can serve as a constant reminder of his love for Shakespeare's works, as well as a stylish addition to his living space.

5. Subscription to a Shakespearean Literary Magazine: A subscription to a literary magazine dedicated to Shakespeare and his works can be an excellent gift that keeps on giving. These publications often feature in-depth analyses, scholarly articles, and engaging reviews, providing your son with a regular dose of intellectual stimulation and further fueling his passion for Shakespeare.

6. Acting Classes or Workshops: If your son is interested in theater performance, surprise him with enrollment in acting classes or workshops focused on Shakespearean acting techniques. This gift not only enables him to deepen his understanding of the plays he loves but also provides him with a practical outlet to channel his passion and develop his skills as an actor.

7. Personalized Shakespearean Bookplates: Consider ordering personalized bookplates with a Shakespearean theme. These bookplates can be customized with your son's name or initials, and they make a practical and unique gift for someone who enjoys reading and has a collection of books.

Remember, the most important aspect of choosing a gift is to show that you understand and support your son's interests. Whichever gift you choose from the list above, make sure to include a heartfelt note explaining why you chose it and how proud you are of his love for Shakespeare and theater.

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.”
