Five Star Gift Ideas

For a Valentine's Day gift that aligns with your wife's interests in world history and civilizations, I have a few thoughtful and unique suggestions to consider:

1. Historical Fiction Books: Explore the realm of historical fiction with books set in different time periods and civilizations. Research books that accurately depict historical events and cultures, such as "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett, "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden, or "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller. This gift will allow her to indulge in her love for history while also enjoying captivating stories.

2. Virtual Museum or Historical Site Tours: Consider gifting your wife with a virtual tour of her favorite historical sites or museums. Numerous museums around the world offer virtual tours that can be accessed from the comfort of home. Check out museums like The British Museum, The Louvre, or The Metropolitan Museum of Art, all of which provide virtual experiences. This gift will allow her to explore her interests firsthand, even if she can't physically visit these places.

3. Ancient Artifacts Replicas: If your wife appreciates tangible gifts, consider finding replicas of ancient artifacts or historical objects from different civilizations. These can range from ancient Greek pottery to Egyptian papyrus replicas or Mayan hieroglyphic tablets. These artifacts can serve as decorative pieces in her office, library, or any area she enjoys spending time in, infusing her love for history into her surroundings.

4. Historical Documentary Series: Create a collection of high-quality historical documentary series that cover various periods and civilizations. Documentaries like "Civilizations" by BBC, "The Story of Us" by National Geographic, or "The World at War" by A&E are engaging and educational. Your wife will have the opportunity to delve into her favorite topics, expanding her knowledge and understanding of different cultures.

5. Language Learning Resources: Encourage your wife's interest in world history by helping her learn a new language associated with a particular civilization she finds intriguing. Look for language learning software or online classes specialized in ancient languages like Latin, Ancient Greek, or Egyptian hieroglyphs. This gift will allow her to dive deeper into the cultures she loves and potentially unlock new doors of understanding.

Remember, the best gifts come from knowing the person and their interests well. By selecting a gift that aligns with your wife's passion for world history and civilizations, you're not only showing your thoughtfulness but also supporting her intellectual pursuits.

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!”
