Five Star Gift Ideas

Finding a meaningful and personal gift for your son who enjoys home brewing cider is a wonderful idea! Here are a few gift suggestions that could enhance his cider-making experience and show your support for his hobby:

1. Cider Brewing Kit: Consider gifting him a complete cider brewing kit. These kits usually include all the necessary equipment, ingredients, and step-by-step instructions to make his own delicious cider at home. Look for a kit that offers different flavor profiles or allows for experimentation, which your son may enjoy exploring.

2. Apple Press: For a more traditional approach, an apple press will be an excellent gift choice. With an apple press, your son can extract juice from fresh apples and use it as a base for his cider. This gift will not only enhance his cider-making process but also provide an enjoyable and hands-on experience.

3. Cider Recipe Book: Help him expand his repertoire of cider recipes with a cider recipe book. Choose a book that includes a variety of flavors, techniques, and creative ideas. This will provide inspiration and guidance for his future cider-making endeavors.

4. Customized Brewing Supplies: Consider personalized brewing supplies to add a special touch to his hobby. For example, you could get him custom-designed labels for his cider bottles or personalized etched glassware with his name or brewing logo. These personalized items will make his brewing experience even more enjoyable and unique.

5. Cider Tasting Experience: Treat your son to a cider tasting experience at a local cidery or brewery. Many cideries offer guided tours and tasting sessions to educate visitors about different types of cider. This experience will give your son the opportunity to not only taste various ciders but also learn more about the art of cider making. It will be a memorable and educational gift for him to indulge in his passion.

6. Subscription to a Cider Club: Consider gifting your son a subscription to a cider club. There are several cider subscription services that deliver a variety of craft ciders to your doorstep on a regular basis. This will expose him to different cider styles and flavors, allowing him to explore and expand his palate.

Remember, the most important aspect of the gift is the thought you put into it. Knowing your son's passion for home brewing cider and choosing a gift that supports his hobby will undoubtedly make him feel appreciated and loved.

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.”
