Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is an insect collector, then getting him a gift that supports his hobby would be a great idea. Here are some ideas to consider:

1. Insect collecting kit: This is an essential item for any insect collector, so your son might appreciate a complete insect collecting kit. Look for a kit that includes a net, forceps, magnifying glass, containers, and labels.

2. Books about insects: There are many great books about insects that your son might enjoy reading. Look for books that contain detailed information about various insect species or books that are focused on particular types of insects (e.g. beetles, butterflies, or dragonflies).

3. Insect display case: Your son may want to show off his insect collection by displaying them in a case. Look for a case that is specifically designed for insects and includes pins and foam to keep the insects in place.

4. Bug zapper: If your son likes observing insects in their natural environment, he might enjoy a bug zapper. This device attracts insects and then zaps them, making it easier for your son to observe them up close.

5. Insect identification guide: A field guide to help your son identify the different species of insects he might find would be appreciated. Give him a guide with color photographs and a helpful key to help him differentiate between similar-looking species.

6. Subscription box: There are many subscription boxes that cater to insect collectors. Look for a subscription box that sends out new specimens every month, or one that includes books, tools, and other handy items for insect collectors.

7. Insect-themed clothing: Clothing with insect designs can be a fun way for your son to show off his love for insects. Look for t-shirts or hoodies with designs of insects like butterflies or beetles.

By getting your son a gift that supports his passion for insect collecting, you will show him that you support his hobbies and interests. Whether he wants to add to his collection or learn more about different species, there are plenty of great gift ideas for insect collectors.

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.”
