Five Star Gift Ideas

For a wife who enjoys philosophy and deep contemplation, there are various thoughtful gift options that can speak to her interests and allow her to delve further into her passion. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Books on Philosophy: A significant way to show your support for her interests would be to gift her some influential philosophical works. Consider adding classics like "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" by Friedrich Nietzsche, or "The Republic" by Plato to her collection. If she enjoys reading modern philosophy, works by Alain de Botton or Peter Singer could be excellent choices.

2. Subscription to a Philosophy Journal: Help expand your wife's philosophical knowledge by gifting her a subscription to a renowned philosophy journal. Journals like "Philosophy Now" or "The Journal of Philosophy" provide regular doses of thought-provoking articles and debates from leading philosophers worldwide.

3. Philosophical Discussion Group: Organize a philosophical discussion group for your wife and her likeminded friends. This could be a monthly gathering where they can share ideas, engage in intellectual conversations, and explore different philosophical concepts together. You could even arrange for a professional philosopher as a guest speaker in one of the sessions.

4. Mindfulness Retreat: Philosophy often ties in with mindfulness and self-reflection. Consider gifting your wife a weekend retreat focused on meditation and contemplation. Look for a retreat center or workshop that emphasizes introspective practices like yoga, mindfulness meditation, and journaling. This will provide her with a serene environment to engage in deep contemplation.

5. Online Philosophy Course: If your wife has expressed interest in broadening her philosophical knowledge, consider enrolling her in an online philosophy course. Websites like Coursera or Udemy offer a wide range of courses on philosophy, ranging from beginner-level introductions to specialized topics. This gift will give her the opportunity to explore philosophy at her own pace and convenience.

6. Philosophical Wall Art: Decorate your home with artwork that reflects her passion for philosophy. Look for prints or paintings that depict notable philosophical quotes or famous philosophers. You could also consider framing her favorite philosophical quotes in an elegant, personalized manner, creating a meaningful piece of wall art that combines philosophy and aesthetics.

Remember, the most important aspect of a meaningful gift is the thought behind it. Consider your wife's specific interests, and choose a gift that aligns with her personality and passion for deep contemplation. By selecting something that resonates with her, you'll communicate your appreciation for her unique interests and support her philosophical journey.

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!”
