Five Star Gift Ideas

First, it's lovely that you're thinking about your dad and what he enjoys. Historical documentaries are an excellent interest, and there are a lot of ways you could turn this into a personalized Father's Day gift.

One option could be to create a gift basket of documentaries that match his interests. You could include some well-known titles like Ken Burns' "The Civil War" or "The Roosevelts," as well as some lesser-known titles that you think he would enjoy. You could also include some snacks or drinks that he likes to enhance his viewing experience.

Another idea would be to get him a subscription to a documentary streaming service. CuriosityStream is a subscription streaming service that specializes in non-fiction content, including documentaries. It has a vast library that features historical documentaries and other types of content, so your dad would have plenty to choose from. Alternatively, a membership to a local museum or historical society could provide ongoing access to historic exhibits, events, and tours.

If your dad is someone who likes to learn through reading, you could also consider getting him a few books that expand on the historical subjects he enjoys. Goodreads is a great resource for researching books within historical subjects.

Finally, another idea may be to create a watch party for your family to watch a historical documentary or movie together on Father's Day. This could be a fun bonding experience, and it would give your dad an opportunity to share and discuss his passion for history with his loved ones. Make some snacks and watch the documentary together or discuss what you learned after the movie.

Remember, ultimately a thoughtful and personalized gift is what counts the most. Beyond the gift itself, taking the time to think about your dad's interests and preferences is what makes the Father's Day gift special.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he welcomed you in this world.
