Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are some gift ideas for your son who loves swing/big band:

1. A vinyl record or CD of his favorite swing/big band artist or album.
2. Concert tickets to see a live swing/big band performance.
3. A book on the history of swing music or biographies of popular swing musicians, like Benny Goodman or Duke Ellington.
4. A subscription to a jazz magazine or online streaming service for access to a wide range of swing music.
5. A personalized playlist of his favorite swing/big band songs on a USB drive or CD.
6. A vintage-style turntable or record player, if he doesn't already have one.
7. A gift card to a music store so he can choose his own swing/big band album or accessory.
8. Music-themed apparel like a t-shirt, hoodie or hat that features his favorite swing/big band artist.
9. A musical instrument like a saxophone or clarinet, if he is interested in playing swing/big band music himself.
10. A swing dance lesson package, so he can learn the moves to go along with his favorite swing/big band songs.

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.”
