Five Star Gift Ideas

For a Mother's Day gift, why not combine your mom's love for documentaries and true crime into a thoughtful and meaningful present? Here are a few gift ideas that she is sure to appreciate:

1. True Crime Books: If your mom enjoys watching true crime stories, she might also enjoy reading about them. Consider gifting her a selection of bestselling true crime books by renowned authors like Michelle McNamara, Ann Rule, or Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood." You could even create a personalized reading list with a handwritten note explaining why you chose each book.

2. Mystery Subscription Box: Subscription boxes are a fantastic way to surprise your mom with a monthly gift that aligns perfectly with her interests. There are specially curated mystery or true crime-themed subscription boxes available, filled with crime novels, puzzles, and other investigation-themed goodies. It's a fun way to keep her engaged in her passion long after Mother's Day.

3. Documentary Binge Basket: Put together a documentary binge-watching basket for your mom. Include a selection of her favorite true crime documentaries on DVD or Blu-ray, or consider purchasing streaming service gift cards that she can use to access a wide range of true crime documentaries. Enhance the experience by adding some cozy blankets, her favorite snack treats, and a handwritten note explaining how much you value and appreciate her love for true crime.

4. Crime Podcast Membership: Encourage your mom to explore the fascinating world of true crime through podcasts. Many popular true crime podcasts offer exclusive memberships, providing access to bonus episodes, early releases, and exclusive content. Look for popular podcast memberships like My Favorite Murder's "Fan Cult," Sword and Scale's "Plus" membership, or Crime Junkie's "Extra" subscription. This gift will allow her to dive deeper into her favorite subject and discover new cases and stories.

5. True Crime Merchandise: Show your mom that you support her interest in true crime by gifting her some true crime-themed merchandise. Look for t-shirts, mugs, or phone cases featuring quotes or graphics related to famous true crime cases or even specific documentaries. You can find these products on popular online marketplaces or on the websites of true crime podcasts and channels.

Remember, the most important part of any gift is the thought and effort put into it. Combine your mom's passion for true crime with her other interests to create a gift that is unique and personal to her.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she gave birth to you.
