Five Star Gift Ideas

That's great! Here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas for your dad who loves new wave:

1. New Wave vinyl records - Vinyls of classic new wave albums from his favorite artists like The Cure, Duran Duran, and New Order would make a fantastic gift.

2. New Wave Music Documentary - Gift your dad with a new wave documentary that helps him better appreciate this genre of music. I recommend "New Wave: Dare to Be Different", a documentary about a pioneering Long Island radio station, WLIR.

3. New Wave T-shirt - A t-shirt with his favorite new wave band on it would be a great birthday gift for your dad.

4. New Wave Book - Gift him a book about the history of new wave music. "Rip It Up And Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984" by Simon Reynolds is a great place to start.

5. New Wave Movie - If your dad is a movie lover, you could get him a classic new wave film, like "Valley Girl", "Pretty in Pink", or "The Breakfast Club".

Use these ideas or combine a few to create a thoughtful and personalized birthday gift for your dad based on his love for new wave!

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.”
