Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves starting a book club, there are numerous gift options that can enhance his reading experience and foster his love for books. Here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas for him:

1. Book Subscription Box: Consider gifting him a monthly book subscription box tailored to his reading preferences. There are various options available, such as Book of the Month Club or OwlCrate, which deliver new and exciting reads right to his doorstep. This will keep his book collection fresh and diverse.

2. Personalized Bookplates: Help your son personalize his books by giving him a set of bookplates. These can be customized with his name or a unique design. Bookplates not only make his books special but also serve as a reminder of his book club and the joy of discovering new stories.

3. Reading Journal: Encourage your son to track his reading progress by gifting him a reading journal. This will allow him to record the books he reads, make notes about his thoughts and favorite quotes, and reflect on the discussions held during his book club meetings.

4. Book-themed Merchandise: Show your support for his book club by getting him book-themed merchandise, such as a t-shirt or tote bag with a literary quote or his book club's logo. These items can spark conversations and help him feel a sense of belonging to a reading community.

5. Bookmarks: Every book lover needs a collection of bookmarks. Consider getting your son a set of personalized or unique bookmarks that reflect his interests. This small but thoughtful gift can add a touch of his personality to his reading experience.

6. Author-signed Books: If your son has a favorite author, try to get a copy of one of their books signed by the author. This can be a truly special and treasured gift that will make his book club experience even more memorable.

7. Book Club Kit: Surprise your son with a complete book club kit that includes discussion questions, note cards, and recommendations for hosting successful book club meetings. This gift will provide him with the necessary tools to organize meaningful discussions and engage his fellow readers.

8. Bookends: Help your son keep his growing book collection organized and displayed beautifully with a set of unique bookends. Look for bookends that align with his interests or ones that have a personal touch, such as engraved initials or a favorite quote.

Ultimately, the key is to choose a gift that not only supports your son's love for books but also adds value to his book club experience. By considering his reading preferences and personalizing your gift, you can create a thoughtful and meaningful present that will bring joy to his reading journey.

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.”
