Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys watching documentaries and educational shows, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas to consider. Here are a few options that he is sure to appreciate:

1. Documentary DVD Collection: Look for a DVD set that includes a collection of some of the best documentaries from various genres. It could be focused on nature, history, science, or any other specific area of interest your son has. This gift will allow him to explore different topics and learn from a variety of experts.

2. Subscription to a Documentary Streaming Service: Consider gifting your son a subscription to a documentary streaming service like CuriosityStream or Netflix's documentary section. These platforms offer a vast array of incredible documentaries that he can access anytime and anywhere. This gift will provide him with endless educational content and ample opportunities to explore new subjects.

3. Book Recommendations: If your son enjoys learning from documentaries, he might also appreciate reading about various topics. Look for non-fiction books related to his interests, whether it's science, history, biographies, or current affairs. To make it extra special, consider adding a personalized note inside the book or creating a book club experience where you can discuss and explore the book together.

4. Documentary Filmmaking Kit: If your son has a creative side, he might enjoy experimenting with documentary filmmaking. Consider gifting him a documentary filmmaking kit that includes a high-quality camera, microphone, tripod, and editing software. This gift will give him the tools to create his own educational content and follow his passion for visual storytelling.

5. Tickets to a Documentary Film Festival: Keep an eye out for documentary film festivals happening in your area or even internationally. If your son is a fan of documentaries, he will likely enjoy attending a festival where he can watch new and thought-provoking films, participate in Q&A sessions with filmmakers, and engage in discussions with like-minded individuals.

6. Donation to a Documentary Production: Find out if there are any ongoing documentary productions that align with your son's interests. Consider making a donation in his name to support the production and help bring important stories to life. This gift not only supports the documentary industry but also shows your son's commitment to the topics he cares about.

Remember, the best gift is one that reflects your son's interests and passions. By selecting something related to his love for documentaries and educational shows, you are showing him that you pay attention to his hobbies and want to support his personal growth.

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.”
