Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who loves book collecting and reading, there are so many meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Rare or Signed Edition: Look for a rare or signed edition of his favorite book or an author he adores. This will not only show that you have selected a special gift, but also demonstrate your understanding of his passion for book collecting.

2. Personalized Bookplates: Consider purchasing a set of personalized bookplates with his name or initials on them. These can be affixed to the inside covers of his books, adding an extra touch of elegance and ownership to his collection.

3. Book Subscription Box: Subscription boxes have become increasingly popular, and there are several book-themed options available. Look for a subscription box that sends him a new book every month or includes book-related goodies like bookmarks, literary candles, or exclusive author interviews. This gift will keep the excitement of book collecting alive throughout the year.

4. Bookish Merchandise: Consider getting him some bookish merchandise such as literary-inspired t-shirts, mugs, or tote bags. Websites like Etsy offer a wide range of creative and unique book-related items that are perfect for book lovers.

5. Bookends: Bookends not only serve a practical purpose of keeping books upright but can also be a stylish addition to a bookshelf. Look for bookends that suit his taste – whether it's a classic design, a quirky figurine, or one that reflects his favorite book or genre.

6. Bookstore Gift Card: If you're unsure about his specific book preferences, a gift card to a local bookstore or an online book retailer like Amazon can be a thoughtful choice. This way, he can select the books he wants to add to his collection.

7. Book-related Experiences: Consider gifting him an experience that celebrates his love for books. This could be attending a literary festival, a writing workshop, or even a visit to a bookstore with a rare book section, allowing him to explore and potentially add some unique editions to his collection.

Remember, the most important thing is to show that you have paid attention to his interests and have put thought into selecting a gift that aligns with his passion for book collecting. By choosing something meaningful and personal, you'll demonstrate your support for his hobby and make this Christmas extra special for him.

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.”
