Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is an avid reader and enjoys participating in local book clubs, there are numerous meaningful and personal gift ideas you can consider for Christmas. Here are a few:

1. Book Subscription Box: Surprise your son with a book subscription box tailored to his reading preferences. These boxes typically contain a curated selection of books, along with goodies like bookmarks, literary-themed gifts, and sometimes even exclusive author interviews or notes. This gift will allow him to discover new authors and engage with his book club discussions more passionately.

2. Personalized Reading Journal: Help your son keep track of the books he reads and his thoughts on them with a personalized reading journal. You can choose a journal with prompts, sections for notes, and space for him to reflect on each book's impact. This is not only a practical gift but also encourages him to reflect on his reading experiences and share insights with his book club members.

3. Book Club Merchandise: Consider getting your son some book club merchandise to show his love for his club. This can be anything from t-shirts, mugs, tote bags, or even posters featuring book-related quotes or iconic covers from his favorite novels. It will help him embrace his book club identity and feel connected to other members.

4. Literary-themed Accessories: If your son enjoys dressing up or incorporating literary elements into his style, consider gifting him some literary-themed accessories. This could include cufflinks or tie clips featuring book quotes or symbols, a bracelet with charms representing his favorite books, or literary-themed socks. These accessories will not only bring a touch of style but also demonstrate his passion for reading.

5. Bookstore Gift Cards: A gift card to his favorite local bookstore can be a fantastic present. This way, he can choose books he is genuinely interested in and contribute to supporting an independent bookstore, which book clubs often value. Encourage him to explore different genres or, if he has a specific book in mind, he can purchase it using the gift card.

6. Book-related Events or Workshops: Keep an eye out for book-related events, workshops, or author signings happening in your area. Tickets or registrations for such events can make for an unforgettable and enriching gift for your son. Attending these events can expose him to new authors, perspectives, and opportunities to connect with other book lovers.

Remember to consider your son's specific interests and tastes when selecting a gift. By giving him a thoughtful present related to his love for participating in book clubs, you ensure that he will not only appreciate the gift itself but also feel understood and supported in his passions.

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.”
