Five Star Gift Ideas

How about a subscription to a history documentary streaming service like History Vault or CuriosityStream? This way, your dad can watch a variety of history documentaries on various topics of interests whenever he wants. Alternatively, you could purchase some classic history movies such as "Schindler's List" or "Saving Private Ryan" on DVD or Blu-ray for your dad to enjoy. You could also consider a coffee table book about the making of a historical movie like "War and Peace" or "Gone with the Wind." Lastly, if your dad enjoys board games, games like "Twilight Struggle" or "Axis & Allies" might be great options for him.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

Bridget Shields says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I wanted a keepsake to give to my father for his birthday as he has terminal cancer. He was delighted by his gift. The process of ordering was easy and delivery was prompt. A great gift idea.”
