Five Star Gift Ideas

If your wife is a fan of Succession, there are a variety of thoughtful gift ideas that would be perfect for her birthday. Here are some options to consider:

1. Succession Merchandise
One of the easiest gift ideas would be to get her some Succession merchandise. The HBO website has a variety of items available for purchase, including t-shirts, mugs, and phone cases. You could also try searching on Etsy, where you may be able to find more unique and personalized gifts, such as Succession-themed jewelry, artwork, or tote bags.

2. Books About Media and Family Dynasties
If your wife enjoys the complex world of Succession, she may also enjoy reading books about media and family dynasties. Some options to consider include "The Murdoch Method" by Irwin Stelzer, "The House of Morgan" by Ron Chernow, or "The Kennedy Curse" by Edward Klein.

3. Personalized Succession-Inspired Experience
If your wife likes to immerse herself fully in the world of a TV show, consider organizing a Succession-inspired experience for her birthday. Depending on where you live, you might be able to find a fancy hotel or restaurant where you can play-act as rich and powerful businesspeople, complete with dress codes and business-themed menus. Alternatively, you could arrange for a day of leisure at a spa or resort, where she can relax and unwind while pretending to be part of the elite inner circle.

4. Cocktail Ingredients or Mixology Course
Succession is famous for its characters' love of fancy cocktails and high-end alcohol. You could buy your wife all the ingredients she needs to create the show's signature cocktail, the Roy Roy (vodka, champagne, and cherry liqueur), or sign her up for a mixology course where she can learn how to make all sorts of fancy drinks. Not only will this allow her to indulge in her love of fine beverages, but it could also be a fun social activity for her to enjoy with friends.

5. Family History or Genealogy Research
If your wife is interested in the themes of family and power that are prominent in Succession, a unique and meaningful gift would be to research her own family history or genealogy. This could be an interesting way for her to learn more about the people who came before her, as well as gain insight into her own family dynamics. There are many online resources available to help with this type of research, or you could consider hiring a professional genealogist to help her dig deeper.

Ultimately, the best gift for your wife will depend on her individual tastes and interests. Whether you choose a Succession-themed gift or another approach entirely, the most important thing is to show her how much you care by putting thought and effort into your selection.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
