That's a great interest to have! Here are some gift ideas for your husband's birthday:
1. Customizable Seashell Shadow Boxes: Find a shadow box with several compartments and add your favorite seashells to a few of them. Include a note to your husband encouraging him to add his own favorite shells to fill the rest of the box.
2. Seashell Artwork: Commission or purchase artwork featuring seashells, either using your husband's favorite colors or the species of shells he collects. This could be a painting, wall art, or sculpture.
3. Seashell Book: Get him a book about seashell collecting, care, or identification. There are many great guides and reference books to choose from.
4. Seashell-Centric Experience: Look up a seashell exhibit, beachcombing excursion, or coastal getaway that caters to seashell collectors. You could also schedule a private tour with a local expert or bring your husband to a local beach you haven't visited yet.
5. Shelling Kit: Put together a kit of necessary shelling tools like a mesh bag, gloves, trowel, and bucket. Top it off with a special seashell or two to add to his collection.
Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
