Five Star Gift Ideas

That sounds like a great starting point to find a gift that your son will love! Here are a few gift ideas that are inspired by his love for Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

1. Animal Crossing Themed Merchandise: Consider getting your son merchandise that is inspired by the game. This could include a backpack or wallet featuring animal characters, t-shirts with designs inspired by the game, or even a coffee mug that has the game's branding. There are websites like Etsy or Amazon that could have a wide variety of options.

2. Guidebook for Animal Crossing: If he has not already got one, consider getting him a guidebook for Animal Crossing. This will help him to get even more out of the game while exploring all the different features and items he can use to build his island.

3. Animal Crossing-themed art prints: Look for printable artwork on sites like Etsy.com or Amazon.com, there are a ton of different types of animal crossings – from cute and whimsical themes to more realistic ones. You could even consider getting the art prints framed to make it look more personalized.

4. Animal Crossing: New Horizons soundtrack: If your son is a big fan of the game's music, he might enjoy an audio CD or digital download of the game's soundtrack. This way, he can enjoy the music even when he’s not playing the game.

5. Nintendo Switch Online Membership: Finally, consider purchasing a Nintendo Switch Online membership for your son if he's not already a subscriber. This membership will give him access to fun Animal Crossing New Horizons features like visiting other people's islands, and playing multi-player games with friends and family.

The key to giving a thoughtful and memorable gift is to focus on what your son loves and find a way to connect that with your present. By keeping Animal Crossing New Horizons in mind while searching for a present for your son, you're sure to find something that he'll treasure for years to come.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
