Five Star Gift Ideas

For your boyfriend who loves mind mapping and brainstorming, there are some great gift ideas that can help fuel his creativity and further his interests. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Mind Mapping Software: Consider gifting him a subscription or license to a popular mind mapping software. Software like MindMeister or XMind can allow him to organize his ideas digitally, collaborate with others, and explore new ways to express his thoughts.

2. Notebooks or Journals: A good quality notebook can be a great gift for someone who enjoys brainstorming and mind mapping. Look for a notebook with blank or dotted pages, as this will give him the freedom to structure his thoughts and ideas in any way he wants. You can even find notebooks specifically designed for mind mapping, with pre-drawn templates or helpful prompts.

3. Book on Creative Thinking: Gift him a book that delves into the art of creative thinking and brainstorming. Some popular options include "The Creative Habit" by Twyla Tharp, "How to Have Kick-Ass Ideas" by Chris Barez-Brown, or "A Whack on the Side of the Head" by Roger von Oech. These books will not only inspire him but also provide valuable techniques and strategies to enhance his brainstorming skills.

4. Mind Mapping Workshop or Course: If your boyfriend is interested in taking his mind mapping skills to the next level, consider enrolling him in a mind mapping workshop or course. These can be found online or in-person and can provide him with hands-on training, new techniques, and opportunities to network with like-minded individuals.

5. Portable Whiteboard or Whiteboard Wall Sticker: Help him take his brainstorming sessions to new places with a portable whiteboard or whiteboard wall sticker. This will allow him to jot down ideas or create mind maps wherever he goes, whether it's at home, the office, or during a group brainstorming session.

6. Creative Thinking Games: There are various games and puzzles available that can stimulate creativity and problem-solving skills. Consider gifting him a game like "Scattergories" or "Bananagrams," which encourage quick thinking and creative associations.

7. Art Supplies: Encourage him to explore his creativity through visual expression by gifting him a set of art supplies. A sketchbook, set of colored pencils, or even a painting set can provide him with an outlet for his ideas beyond traditional mind mapping techniques.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows your thoughtfulness and consideration for his interests. Consider his preferences and choose a gift that complements his passion for mind mapping and brainstorming.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

“I ordered a print for my boyfriend for his upcoming birthday 7 days ago and received it today. I ordered the anatomical heart one reflecting back on our first date. We love it! It is beautifully done and looks great in the living room!!!”
