Five Star Gift Ideas

If your husband is passionate about youth mentoring, there are several gift ideas that you could consider:

1. Donation to a mentoring organization: Consider making a donation in your husband's name to a youth mentoring organization. This not only recognizes his passion for mentoring, but also contributes to the cause he is passionate about. Additionally, you could research organizations that offer something tangible (e.g., certificates, lapel pins, t-shirts) in recognition of the donation, which could be wrapped and presented as a gift.

2. Book on youth mentoring: If your husband enjoys reading, you could consider purchasing a book on youth mentoring. There are several excellent books on the topic that provide insight and guidance for mentoring young people. Some popular books include "The Mentor's Guide: Facilitating Effective Learning Relationships" by Lois J. Zachary, "Handbook of Youth Mentoring" edited by David L. DuBois and Michael J. Karcher, and "The Mentoring Pocketbook" by Geof Alred, Bob Garvey, and Richard Smith.

3. Volunteer together: If you and your husband have the time, consider volunteering together for a youth mentoring organization. Many organizations offer training and support for mentors, and this could be a great opportunity for you to spend quality time together while making a difference in someone's life.

4. Customized keepsake: Consider creating a customized keepsake that honors your husband's mentoring work. This could be a customized keychain, a personalized photo frame, or even a homemade scrapbook that documents his mentoring journey.

5. Tickets to an event: Look for local events that celebrate mentoring or youth mentorship. This could include events hosted by mentoring organizations, career events for youth, or talks by successful people who have been mentored in their lives. Attending such events could inspire your husband and help him connect with like-minded people.

These are just a few ideas to get you started. The most important thing is to recognize your husband's passion and interest in mentoring youth. By doing something thoughtful and personal, you'll show your support and appreciation for the work he does.

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