Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves fermenting kombucha, I have a few unique gift ideas that will not only enhance his brewing experience but also show your support for his hobby.

1. Kombucha Brewing Kit: Consider gifting him a comprehensive kombucha brewing kit that includes all the essentials he needs to make delicious batches of kombucha at home. Look for a set that includes a brewing vessel, organic tea, sugar, a scoby (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), pH test strips, and flavorings. This kit will allow him to experiment with different flavors and techniques and take his kombucha brewing to the next level.

2. Kombucha Recipe Book: Help your son explore new recipes and flavors with a kombucha recipe book. Look for a book that offers a range of creative and tasty recipes using various ingredients like fruits, herbs, and spices. This gift will inspire him to try out different flavor combinations and experiment with his brewing process.

3. Fermentation Weight Set: One of the challenges of brewing kombucha is ensuring the scoby stays submerged in the liquid during fermentation. A set of fermentation weights can make this process easier and more efficient. These weights are placed on top of the scoby, keeping it submerged and reducing the risk of mold or unwanted bacteria growth. Your son will appreciate these practical and useful tools.

4. Glass Bottles with Flip-Top Lids: Help your son store and carbonate his kombucha creations with a set of high-quality glass bottles that have flip-top lids. These bottles are perfect for secondary fermentation, as they create airtight seals and allow carbonation to build up. Look for durable, lead-free glass bottles that can withstand pressure and are easy to clean.

5. Kombucha Brewing Class: Consider giving your son the opportunity to enhance his kombucha brewing skills by enrolling him in a kombucha brewing class or workshop. Many cities offer hands-on classes where he can learn from experienced brewers, interact with other brewing enthusiasts, and gain a deeper understanding of the fermentation process. This gift will not only provide knowledge but also a valuable and memorable experience.

6. Kombucha-related Merchandise: Find unique kombucha-themed merchandise that your son can proudly display or wear. Look for t-shirts, mugs, or posters featuring clever kombucha-related slogans, illustrations, or even a custom design. This gift will show your support for his passion and allow him to share his love for kombucha with others.

Remember, the most important aspect when choosing a gift for your son is to demonstrate your thoughtfulness and support for his interests. By selecting a gift that aligns with his passion for kombucha brewing, you're not only encouraging his hobby but also showing how much you understand and appreciate his enthusiasm.

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.”
