Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys trying out new coffee shops, there are several thoughtful and appealing gift ideas that will enhance his coffee experience and show your support for his hobby. Consider the following possibilities:

1. Coffee Subscription: Surprise your son with a coffee subscription that delivers a different selection of beans from around the world to his doorstep every month. This way, he can continue exploring various coffee flavors and regions without even leaving his house. Look for subscriptions that offer a wide variety of roasts and origins to cater to his adventurous taste.

2. Coffee Tasting Set: Gift him a coffee tasting set that includes small sample packs of different coffee beans. This will allow him to evaluate the unique flavors, aromas, and profiles of different coffees in the comfort of his own home. Look for sets that cover a range of coffee origins to provide a diverse tasting experience.

3. Coffee Brewing Equipment: Help your son elevate his coffee brewing game by gifting him specialty coffee-making equipment. Consider getting him a high-quality grinder so he can grind his coffee beans to perfection, or an Aeropress for a quick and convenient brewing method. You could also consider a pour-over coffee maker, a French press, or even an espresso machine, depending on his preferences and budget.

4. Local Coffee Shop Gift Cards: Instead of just buying coffee from the usual chain stores, encourage your son to explore more local and independent coffee shops in his area by giving him gift cards. This way, he can discover new favorite spots and support local businesses at the same time.

5. Coffee-related Books: If your son enjoys diving deep into subjects, consider gifting him books that delve into the world of coffee. There are several informative and engaging titles available, such as "The World Atlas of Coffee" by James Hoffmann or "God in a Cup" by Michaele Weissman. These books can provide insight into the history, techniques, and culture of coffee.

6. Coffee Merchandise: Surprise your son with coffee-themed merchandise that reflects his passion for coffee shops. This could include a stylish coffee mug or travel tumbler, a coffee-themed shirt, or even a witty coffee-related poster or artwork for his room.

7. Coffee Accessories: Help enhance your son's coffee brewing experience with unique accessories. Look for options like a digital scale for precision brewing, a coffee bean storage container to maintain freshness, or even a milk frother for indulgent specialty drinks at home.

Remember, the joy of gift-giving comes not only from the item itself but also from the thoughtfulness put into selecting something tailored to your loved one's interests. By choosing a gift that supports your son's love for coffee shops, you will show him that you appreciate and encourage his passion.

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.”
