Five Star Gift Ideas

There are a few different directions you could take this gift idea. Here are a few suggestions:

- Thrifting gift card: One option is to give your son a gift card to his favorite thrift store. This way, he can continue to enjoy the thrill of the hunt and pick out items that he loves. You could even suggest that you go thrift shopping together after the holidays so he can show you some of his favorite spots or finds.
- DIY thrifted gift basket: Put together a gift basket filled with thrifted items that your son may find useful or enjoyable. For example, you could include a vintage record, a t-shirt with a cool graphic, an old camera or other funky tech item, a unique mug or glass, or a quirky piece of art. You could have fun scouring different thrift stores and curating a collection of items that you think would appeal to his tastes.
- Upgrade his thrifting tools: If your son is an avid thrifter, he may appreciate some new gear to help him in his pursuits. Consider getting him a sturdy tote or backpack for carrying his finds, a vintage denim jacket (which is a staple for many thrifting enthusiasts), or a gifting him a subscription to a vintage clothing or home goods box to help expand his collection.
- Expanding his thrifting resources: If your son is always looking for new thrift stores or shopping tips, consider gifting him some resources that can help. For example, she could get him a book on how to thrift like a pro, or a subscription to a magazine focused on retro fashion or home design. Alternatively, you could create a list of new thrift stores in the area that he hasn't been to yet to help him explore even more.

Ultimately, the best gift for a thrifting enthusiast is something that shows you know and appreciate their particular interests. So have fun thinking about what your son would find most exciting - this is a great opportunity to get creative and show thoughtfulness for his gift this holiday season.

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.”
