Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are a few ideas for wedding gifts for your friend who likes John Steinbeck:

1. John Steinbeck Collection: You can gift your friend a collection of John Steinbeck's books. Some popular ones include "East of Eden," "Of Mice and Men," and "The Grapes of Wrath." You can even find collections that include some of his lesser-known works.

2. Handwritten Quotation: Find a quote from John Steinbeck that you think resonates with your friend or the couple getting married. You can then get it handwritten and framed to give as a gift.

3. Map of Steinbeck's California: Since many of Steinbeck's works are set in California, you can gift your friend a map of the state that highlights the places featured in his books.

4. Steinbeck-Inspired Art: Look for artwork or prints that are inspired by Steinbeck's works. For example, you might find a painting of the Salinas Valley or a drawing of the Joad family in "The Grapes of Wrath."

5. Literary Tour: If your friend lives near Steinbeck's hometown, you could plan a day trip to visit Steinbeck-related sites. This could include a visit to the National Steinbeck Center or a tour of the Salinas Valley.

Or you can get her/him a star map with the date of the wedding.
