What a great idea! Here are a few gift ideas that your son might appreciate:
1. Vinyl records: Bossa nova had its golden age in the 60s, so there are some great classic albums that have been re-released on vinyl. Some of the classics include João Gilberto's "Getz/Gilberto" and Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Wave". Your son would love having these classic records for his collection.
2. Digital music subscription: If your son has a digital music player, you could gift him a subscription to a music streaming service that specializes in bossa nova. "Bossa Nova Radio" and "Bossa Nova Breakfast" are both excellent options.
3. Bossa nova cocktail recipe book: Many bossa nova songs have become well-known classics for their smooth and cool style that makes them a perfect pairing for a cocktail. Consider gifting your son a recipe book with cocktail recipes inspired by bossa nova.
4. Bossa nova instrument: If your son is a musician, consider a bossa nova instrument, such as a guitar or percussion instruments like the tambourine, shakers, or cowbell.
These ideas should provide a starting point for your gift search. Merry Christmas!
