Five Star Gift Ideas

For a Valentine's Day gift that your documentary-loving boyfriend will truly appreciate, consider getting him a personalized documentary viewing experience. Here are a few meaningful gift ideas that cater to his interest in documentaries and educational videos:

1. Subscription to a Documentary Streaming Service: Look for a premium subscription to a popular documentary streaming platform like CuriosityStream or DocPlay. This will enable him to dive into a wide range of documentaries across various genres, from history and science to nature and technology. You can even pre-load his account with some of his favorite documentaries or create a watchlist for him to explore.

2. Documentary Film Festival Pass: If your boyfriend enjoys the immersive experience of watching documentaries on the big screen, consider gifting him a pass to a local or international documentary film festival. This will allow him to watch new releases, attend filmmaker Q&A sessions, and explore different themes and styles of documentaries.

3. Custom Documentary Playlist: Compile a personalized documentary playlist for him by curating a selection of his favorite documentaries, thought-provoking films, or ones related to specific topics he finds fascinating. You can create a beautiful DVD set or simply organize them in a shared streaming platform account. Add a personal touch by including special notes or descriptions for each documentary, explaing why you think he'd enjoy them.

4. DIY Documentary Night: Transform your living room into a cozy private theater with dimmed lights, comfortable seating, and snacks. Prepare a documentary night by selecting a theme or subject that your boyfriend loves and curate a selection of documentaries for him to enjoy. This can be centered around his favorite historical period, a particular scientific breakthrough, or a topic of mutual interest.

5. Documentary Book Collection: Expand his knowledge beyond the screen by gifting him a collection of non-fiction books written by renowned documentary filmmakers or capturing the behind-the-scenes of iconic documentaries. Browse through titles like "Making a Murderer" by Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos or "The Act of Killing" by Joshua Oppenheimer. This will allow him to explore the storytelling aspects and production techniques of his beloved documentaries in a different medium.

Whatever you choose to give, remember to accompany the gift with a heartfelt note sharing why you appreciate and admire his passion for documentaries. This will make the gift even more meaningful and personal.

Or you can get him a star map with the date of your first kiss.
