Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandpa who enjoys collecting books, here are a few Father's Day gift ideas:

1. A rare or vintage book: Do some research and find out if there is a particular book or author that your grandpa has been looking for, or maybe a first edition of one of his favorite books that he does not yet have in his collection. You can look for it on sites like AbeBooks, Alibris or even Amazon.

2. A book lover's gift basket: Purchase a gift basket that contains a variety of book-related items, such as bookmarks, bookends, reading glasses, and a gift card to a local bookstore.

3. Personalized bookplates: These are small, decorative labels that are placed inside a book's cover to indicate ownership. You can have bookplates made with your grandpa's name or a special message, which will add to his collection and make his books more personal.

4. A bookshelf: Since your grandpa loves collecting books, why not get him a new bookshelf to display his collection? There are many different styles available, from simple and understated to ornate and decorative.

5. A book subscription service: A subscription to a book subscription service will provide your grandpa with a new book to add to his collection every month. Some popular services worth checking are Book of the Month, Powell's Indiespensable and The Strand's Signed First Edition Club.

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