Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who enjoys watching true crime documentaries, you could consider gifting them something that complements their interest while also adding a touch of personalization or sentimentality. Here are a few meaningful gift ideas:

1. Customized Detective/Investigation Kit: Create a personalized detective kit for your friend, including items like a notepad, a magnifying glass, crime scene tape, and a personalized ID badge with their name. You can also add in a vintage detective novel or crime scene puzzle to enhance their sleuthing experience.

2. True Crime Book Collection: If your friend enjoys engaging with the stories of true crime, consider gifting them a collection of true crime books written by renowned authors like Ann Rule, Truman Capote, or Michelle McNamara. You can handpick titles that cover a range of cases and genres, allowing them to delve deeper into the world of true crime beyond documentaries.

3. Crime Documentary Subscription Box: Surprise your friend with a crime-themed subscription box that delivers a curated assortment of true crime-related goodies to their doorstep each month. This could include items like crime scene investigation kits, crime-solving puzzles, books, and exclusive merchandise related to their favorite documentaries.

4. DIY Crime Documentary Marathon Kit: Put together a DIY crime documentary marathon kit for your friend. Include a selection of their favorite true crime documentaries on DVD or Blu-ray, along with a cozy blanket, popcorn, snacks, and a bottle of their favorite wine or beverage. To make it more personal, you can also add handwritten notes or trivia facts related to each documentary.

5. Virtual Crime Tour Experience: Consider gifting your friend a virtual crime tour experience, where they can explore famous crime scenes or historic landmarks from the comfort of their own home. There are various online platforms and virtual tour guides that offer immersive and interactive crime-themed experiences, allowing your friend to dive deeper into their interest in a unique way.

6. True Crime Art or Memorabilia: If your friend has a favorite true crime documentary or a specific case they find fascinating, you can search for artwork or memorabilia related to that particular case or documentary. This could include prints of forensic sketches, posters, or even crime scene photography (if they are comfortable with that), which can serve as conversation starters or pieces of intrigue in their home.

Remember, when selecting a wedding gift, it's also important to consider the couple's broader interests and preferences. If you know what their partner enjoys, you can incorporate elements that cater to both their shared interests as well.

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