Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are some gift ideas based on your wife's interest in cultural storytelling:

1. Books: Consider getting her a new book from a Culture storytelling book series, like "The Arabian Nights", "Grimm's Fairy Tales" or "Chinese Folk Tales". If she already has those, you can look for a more unconventional book like "African Folktales" by Nelson Mandela or "Myths of the Norsemen" by Helene Adeline Guerber.

2. Audio stories/ audio books: You might want to consider getting her an audio book or audio stories so she can relax as she listens to her favourite stories. Some inspiration could be Edgar Allan poe audio books, The Canterbury Tales audio book, and The Odyssey audio book. Nowadays, audio streaming sites like Audible and Spotify have plenty of audio stories that will make a great gift.

3. Themed Items: Look for a range of themed items like stationary, tapestry, coffee mugs, or tote bags that have a cultural storytelling theme. A great place to start looking for such items is Etsy.

4. Personalized Storybook: For a more personalized gift, you can create a custom storybook with your story as the main characters or about your life experiences. There are many sites that offer this service such as I See Me! and Shutterfly.

5. Cultural Event: Look for local cultural events or performances that involve storytelling, such as a storytelling festival or a play based on a classic storybook. This would be a one-of-a-kind, unique experience that shows you are thoughtful and considerate of her interests.

Or you can get her a star map with the date of your first kiss.

David Dickason says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“Ordered a map of the stars above us when my wife and I realized that we wanted a friendship to turn into something more - gave it to her yesterday (Valentine's Day) and got a most enthusiastic response. We are best pleased!”
