Five Star Gift Ideas

When it comes to finding the perfect gift for someone who loves studying history, there are endless possibilities to explore. Here are a few ideas that might make your son's Christmas extra special:

1. History books: Consider getting your son a book on a historical event, period, or figure that he has shown interest in. You could opt for a classic like "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank or a more recent release like "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari.

2. Historical documentaries: Treat your son to a collection of historical documentaries or a subscription to a streaming service that offers a wide range of historical content. This will allow him to indulge in his passion and discover new aspects of history.

3. Museum membership: Give your son the gift of knowledge and exploration by getting him a membership to a local history museum or historical society. This will not only provide him with access to a wealth of historical artifacts but also offer opportunities to attend lectures and events related to his interests.

4. Historical board games: Introduce an element of fun into your son's love for history by gifting him a historically themed board game. Games like "Risk: The Game of Global Domination" or "Twilight Struggle" provide a chance for him to engage with historical events while enjoying quality time with friends and family.

5. Historical map or poster: Help your son create an inspiring study space by getting him a historical map or poster. Whether it's a map of ancient Rome, a timeline illustrating the major events of a specific period, or a vintage poster featuring a significant historical figure, it can serve as a visual aid and spark curiosity.

6. Historical replica or artifact: Consider purchasing a replica of a historical artifact that holds importance to your son. It could range from a Roman coin or a Viking pendant to a World War II helmet or a medieval knight's sword. Having a tangible piece of history can make his passion more tangible and meaningful.

7. Historical travel experience: Plan a trip to a destination with historical significance that your son has always wanted to visit. Whether it's exploring ancient ruins, walking through a battlefield, or visiting a historical city, this experiential gift will allow him to immerse himself in the history he loves.

Remember, the most meaningful gift you can give is the acknowledgment and support of your son's passion for history. By showing interest and encouraging him to continue pursuing his studies, you are creating a lasting and memorable gift that will fuel his passion for years to come.

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.”
