Five Star Gift Ideas

For your boyfriend who has a passion for architecture and visiting iconic buildings, I have some meaningful and personal gift ideas that I'm sure he'll love.

1. Architectural Coffee Table Book: Look for a visually stunning coffee table book that features beautiful photographs and thorough explanations of iconic buildings from around the world. Some popular options include "The Architecture Book" by D.K. Smith and "100 Contemporary Buildings" by Philip Jodidio. This gift will allow your boyfriend to explore different architectural styles and learn about renowned architects, inspiring him to plan future visits to these buildings.

2. Architectural Drawing Set: Help fuel your boyfriend's creativity by gifting him a high-quality architectural drawing set. Look for a set that includes various pencils, pens, erasers, and a ruler. This practical gift will give him the tools he needs to sketch and draw his own architectural designs or recreate the details of his favorite buildings.

3. Guided Architecture Tour: Treat your boyfriend to a unique and immersive experience by booking a guided architecture tour for both of you. Research local tour companies or architecture firms that provide in-depth tours of notable buildings in your city or nearby. This hands-on and educational experience will enable him to explore the incredible details, history, and design elements of these buildings alongside a knowledgeable guide.

4. Model Building Kit: If your boyfriend enjoys hands-on activities, consider gifting him an architectural model building kit. There are kits available for various iconic buildings such as the Empire State Building, the Burj Khalifa, or even famous architectural landmarks like the Acropolis in Athens. This gift will allow him to engage in a tactile experience of building his favorite structures and proudly display the finished pieces.

5. Architectural Travel Guide: Help your boyfriend plan his next architectural adventure by gifting him an architectural travel guide. Look for a travel book that focuses on the architecture of a particular city or region known for its iconic buildings. For example, "The Architecture Guidebook" series by Matthias Castorph offers detailed insights into architecture in cities like Rome, Barcelona, and London. This gift will provide him with a comprehensive resource to explore new destinations and add to his collection of architectural experiences.

6. Customized Blueprint Artwork: Consider commissioning a custom-made blueprint artwork of a building that holds significance for your boyfriend. Whether it's a famous landmark or a building from his favorite architect, this personalized gift will combine his love for architecture and art. You can find artists who specialize in creating architectural blueprints as unique pieces of artwork. This gift will serve as a beautiful and sentimental reminder of his passion and your thoughtfulness.

These gift ideas cater to your boyfriend's interest in architecture and visiting iconic buildings. Whether it's a tangible item, an experience, or an artistic representation, choose a gift that celebrates his passion and provides an opportunity for him to further explore the world of architecture.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
