Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who enjoys photographing abandoned places, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that you can consider:

2. Photography Book: Look for a coffee table book featuring stunning photographs of abandoned places from around the world. This book can serve as a source of inspiration for your husband's own photography and also act as a beautiful decorative piece.

3. Photographers' Guidebooks: Search for guidebooks specifically focused on abandoned places photography, which offer tips, techniques, and recommended locations. This will help him plan future trips and improve his skills.

4. Customized Camera Strap: Consider getting a custom-made camera strap with his name or a personal message engraved on it. This practical and personalized gift will add a touch of uniqueness to his photography gear.

5. Photo Editing Software: If he enjoys post-processing his images, a subscription to a professional photo editing software like Adobe Lightroom or Capture One can be a valuable gift. This will give him access to advanced editing tools to enhance his photographs.

6. Antique Camera: If your budget allows, consider gifting him an antique film camera. The vintage aesthetic and unique shooting experience may inspire him in new ways and offer a different perspective when capturing abandoned places.

7. Abandoned Places Calendar: Look for a calendar featuring captivating photographs of abandoned places. Not only will it serve as a practical gift, but it will also remind him of his passion throughout the year.

8. Amazon Echo Show: This smart device with a built-in screen can display his own photographs or a digital gallery of abandoned places on a slideshow. It can also serve as a convenient tool for showcasing his work or exploring new photography techniques through online tutorials.

9. Subscription to Photography Magazine: A subscription to a photography magazine that focuses on urban exploration or architectural photography can provide him with a regular dose of inspiration, technical tips, and interviews with experienced photographers in the genre.

10. Customized Photo Book: Collect some of his best photographs of abandoned places, and create a personalized photo book. Use an online service like Shutterfly or Blurb to design a professional-looking book that showcases his talent and preserves his memories of these places.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your support and appreciation for his passion. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interest in photographing abandoned places, you are not only acknowledging his hobby but also encouraging him to continue pursuing it.

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

Burcin Dalkanat says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
