Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys watching and analyzing political debates, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider. These gifts can further enhance his interest in politics and provide him with tools to engage in informed discussions. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Book on Political Debates: Consider gifting your son a book that delves into the history and significance of political debates. Suggestions include "Presidential Debates: Forty Years of High-Risk TV" by Alan Schroeder or "The Art of Debate" by Edward R. Freeman. These books can provide him with a deeper understanding of the art of debating and engage him in thought-provoking analysis.

2. Subscription to Political Magazines: You can gift your son a subscription to political magazines such as The Atlantic, The New Yorker, or The Economist. These magazines offer in-depth analysis, investigative journalism, and commentary on political events. Regularly receiving thought-provoking articles will allow him to stay updated on the latest political discussions.

3. Access to Online Platforms: Consider gifting him a subscription to online platforms like Politico Pro or The Washington Post, which offer exclusive content and in-depth analysis on political topics. These platforms will provide him with access to a wealth of resources and information to study and analyze debates.

4. Debate Moderator Kit: If your son has an interest in possibly moderating debates in the future, consider gifting him a debate moderator kit. This kit can include books on the art of moderating, guidelines on how to structure and moderate a debate effectively, and a microphone for practice sessions with friends or family.

5. Political Documentaries: A collection of political documentaries can also make an engaging gift. Documentaries like "Best of Enemies" or "Fog of War" analyze historical political debates and provide valuable insights into the impact of such discussions on society. They can inspire your son and deepen his love for analyzing political debates.

6. Membership to Political Organizations: Consider gifting your son a membership to a politically-oriented organization such as a local debate club, a university political science society, or a youth political organization. This will provide him with opportunities to engage in debates and discussions with like-minded individuals and gain practical experience.

Remember, the best gift is one that reflects your son's interests and passions. These ideas should help nurture his love for political debates and provide him with resources to learn and grow in this field.

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.”
