Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys watching and discussing documentaries, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider for this Christmas. Here are a few suggestions that might appeal to him:

1. Documentary DVD Box Set: Consider giving your son a box set of documentaries in a specific genre or by a particular director that he admires. This could be a collection of thought-provoking and critically acclaimed documentaries that he might not have seen yet. It will provide him with hours of engaging content and ample material for discussions.

2. Subscription to a Documentary Streaming Service: You can gift your son a subscription to a popular documentary streaming service such as Netflix or CuriosityStream. These platforms have a vast library of documentaries from various genres, allowing him to explore a wide range of topics and find new favorites.

3. Film Festival Pass: Check if there are any upcoming film festivals or events dedicated to documentaries in your area. Gifting your son a pass to such events will not only allow him to watch the latest and most innovative documentaries but also provide him with the opportunity to meet and engage with like-minded filmmakers and enthusiasts.

4. Documentary Book Collection: If your son enjoys delving deeper into his favorite documentaries, he might appreciate a collection of books based on these films. Look for books that offer in-depth analysis, behind-the-scenes details, or even screenplays of renowned documentaries. This will give him a chance to explore the subject matter on a more comprehensive level.

5. Documentary-Making Workshop: If your son has a keen interest in filmmaking or wants to explore the process of documentary creation, consider enrolling him in a documentary-making workshop. This hands-on experience will allow him to learn from professionals, gain practical skills, and understand the intricacies of crafting a compelling documentary.

6. Journal for Documentary Reviews: Encourage your son to engage with documentaries on a deeper level by gifting him a journal specifically for documenting his thoughts and reviews. This will enable him to reflect on the documentaries he watches, express his opinions, and track his personal growth as a viewer and critic.

7. Personalized Documentary Recommendation Service: Consider creating a personalized documentary recommendation service for your son. Compile a list of documentaries that align with his interests and curate it into a personalized guidebook. Include brief descriptions and your own thoughts on each film, making it a thoughtful and unique gift that he can refer to whenever he wants to watch something new.

Remember, the most important aspect of gifting is the thought and effort you put into understanding and catering to your loved one's interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with your son's passion for documentaries, you are not only providing him with an enjoyable present but also showing your support for his hobbies and interests.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“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.”
