Five Star Gift Ideas

For a grandpa who is a true crime aficionado, there are several thoughtful and engaging gift options that can enhance his passion for watching and discussing true crime documentaries.

1. Subscription to a True Crime Magazine: Consider getting your grandpa a subscription to a popular true crime magazine, such as "Crime Scene" or "True Detective." This will provide him with a regular dose of gripping stories, articles, and in-depth investigations to indulge in.

2. True Crime Books: Expand your grandpa's collection of true crime stories with a selection of books. Look for well-known true crime authors like Ann Rule, Michelle McNamara, or John Douglas. If he's interested in a specific case or topic, find a book pertaining to it to cater to his particular interests.

3. True Crime Documentary DVDs: While your grandpa already enjoys watching true crime documentaries, surprise him with a collection of DVDs featuring some of the most iconic and captivating true crime stories. From classics like "Making a Murderer," "The Jinx," or "The Staircase," to lesser-known but equally intriguing documentaries like "The Imposter" or "Paradise Lost," this gift will let him explore the genre even further.

4. Crime Scene Puzzle: Allow your grandpa to channel his inner detective with a crime scene puzzle. These unique puzzles provide an immersive experience by challenging the solver to piece together clues and solve a fictional crime. Not only will it provide hours of entertainment, but it will also engage his analytical skills.

5. Serial Killer Playing Cards: This unconventional gift combines intrigue and playing cards. Serial killer playing cards feature the faces of infamous killers on each card. It could be a conversation starter and a way for your grandpa to engage in discussions regarding different true crime cases.

6. Crime Investigation Board Game: For a fun and interactive gift, consider a crime investigation board game. "Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game" and "Chronicles of Crime" are both highly recommended options. These games provide a unique opportunity to step into the shoes of a detective, solving cases by analyzing evidence and interviewing suspects.

7. Subscription to a True Crime Podcast: If your grandpa enjoys listening to true crime stories while on the go, a subscription to a popular true crime podcast like "Serial" or "Criminal" would be ideal. He can listen to gripping narratives, shocking revelations, and expert analysis right at his fingertips.

Remember, when choosing any of these gifts, consider your grandpa's specific preferences and interests within the true crime genre. By personalizing your gift to his tastes, you will demonstrate your thoughtfulness and show that you appreciate his passion for true crime documentaries.

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