Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys watching documentaries about true crime, then an ideal gift for him would be something that allows him to delve deeper into this interest. Here are a few gift ideas that he might appreciate:

1. True Crime Books: Consider getting him some gripping true crime books that go beyond what documentaries can cover. You can choose from classic reads like "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote or opt for more recent publications like "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" by Michelle McNamara.

2. Podcast Membership: Many true crime podcasts offer exclusive content and bonus episodes for their paid subscribers. Look for a popular true crime podcast that your son enjoys and gift him a membership, allowing him to access additional episodes and special interviews.

3. Online Course or Workshop: To take his interest in true crime to another level, you can gift your son an online course or workshop related to criminal psychology or crime scene investigation. Platforms like Udemy and Coursera offer a wide range of courses that he can explore at his own pace.

4. Subscription Box: There are subscription boxes available that cater specifically to true crime fans. These boxes often include books, crime scene investigation tools, puzzles, and even exclusive merchandise related to famous cases. It can be a unique and exciting gift that will keep your son engaged with his interest every month.

5. Crime Documentary DVD Set: Although your son likely enjoys streaming documentaries, he might also appreciate owning a collection of his favorite true crime documentaries on DVD. Look for a set that includes a variety of gripping films and cases to keep him entertained.

6. Crime Investigation Board Game: If your son enjoys board games, consider getting him a crime investigation or detective-themed game. These games often involve solving cases, analyzing evidence, and making strategic decisions. This can be a fun and interactive way for him to explore his interest in true crime with friends or family.

7. True Crime Documentary Festival Pass: Check if there are any true crime documentary festivals happening near your son's location. If there are, consider purchasing a festival pass, allowing him to attend multiple screenings and potentially meet filmmakers or experts in the field.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows you've taken the time to understand and support your son's interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with his fascination for true crime documentaries, you are not only giving him something he can enjoy but also demonstrating your thoughtfulness and support for his passions.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“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.”
