Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who has a passion for Shakespearean plays, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas to consider. These suggestions will not only cater to his interest but will also provide opportunities for him to delve deeper into the world of Shakespeare and enhance his appreciation for this timeless playwright.

1. Complete Works of Shakespeare: A beautifully bound, hardcover edition of Shakespeare's complete works would make a fantastic addition to your son's bookshelf. It will not only allow him to explore the plays he loves but also discover lesser-known works that he may not have come across yet.

2. Tickets to a Shakespearean Theater Production: Treat your son to an unforgettable experience by purchasing tickets to a local theater production of a Shakespearean play. Watching the live performance will immerse him in the atmosphere of the Elizabethan era and showcase the artistry of actors interpreting the works he admires.

3. Shakespearean Insults Mug: Add a touch of humor to your son's daily routine with a Shakespearean insults mug. This playful and educational gift features witty insults coined by Shakespeare himself. It's a clever way for your son to show off his love for the bard while enjoying his morning coffee.

4. Shakespearean Inspired Jewelry: Consider gifting your son a piece of jewelry inspired by Shakespeare's works. From necklaces featuring quotes from his favorite plays to cufflinks embossed with Shakespearean motifs, there are various options available to suit different tastes.

5. Shakespearean Education Course or Workshop: Broaden your son's knowledge and understanding of Shakespeare's works by enrolling him in an online course or workshop. These educational programs provide in-depth analysis of the plays and offer a platform for him to engage in discussions with other Shakespeare enthusiasts.

6. Shakespearean Movie Collection: Expand your son's movie library with a collection of film adaptations of Shakespearean plays. From Kenneth Branagh's "Hamlet" to Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet," there are countless adaptations to choose from. This gift will allow him to explore different interpretations of his favorite plays.

7. Shakespearean Playing Cards: Turn family game nights into Shakespeare-themed adventures with a set of playing cards inspired by the bard's works. Each card can feature quotes or characters from his plays, adding a touch of literary flair to traditional card games.

Remember, the most thoughtful gifts are often the ones that show how well you understand someone's interests and hobbies. By choosing a meaningful and personal gift that aligns with your son's love for Shakespearean plays, you are not only acknowledging his passion but also encouraging his intellectual and artistic pursuits.

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.”
