Here are a few additional meaningful gift ideas to complement the journaling prompts and make your dad's birthday even more special:

1. Personalized Leather Journal: Consider gifting your dad a high-quality leather journal with his initials or name engraved on the cover. This adds a touch of elegance and gives him a special place to write down his thoughts and memories.

2. Inspirational Book on Journaling: Choose a book that delves deeper into the art of journaling, providing guidance, techniques, and exercises to enhance the journaling experience. Look for titles like "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron or "Journal to the Self" by Kathleen Adams.

3. Unique Pens or Writing Instruments: Encourage your dad's journaling journey with a set of unique pens or writing instruments. From fountain pens to calligraphy sets, there are numerous options available that can enhance his writing experience and make it more enjoyable.

4. Writing Prompts Jar: Complement the journaling prompts set with a DIY writing prompts jar. Fill it with your own personalized prompts, inspirational quotes, or interesting questions for him to pick and choose from whenever he feels stuck or wants to explore new ideas.

5. Subscription to a Journaling Magazine: Consider subscribing your dad to a magazine dedicated to journaling or writing. This will provide him with monthly inspiration, tips, and prompts, keeping his passion for journaling alive throughout the year.

6. Journaling Workshop or Retreat: Explore local writing or journaling workshops, retreats, or conferences that your dad might be interested in attending. This can be a wonderful opportunity for him to connect with other like-minded individuals and further develop his skills.

7. Handmade Bookmark: Craft or purchase a personalized bookmark for your dad to mark his place in his journal. You can consider adding a sentimental message or quote that resonates with his love for journaling.

8. Journaling App: If your dad enjoys utilizing technology, you could gift him a subscription to a highly-rated journaling app. There are numerous apps available that offer features like prompts, mood tracking, and gratitude journals, allowing him to journal conveniently on his phone or tablet.

Remember, the most precious gift you can give your dad is your time and support. Encourage him to share his journaling experiences with you, and offer to listen or read his entries if he feels comfortable. This will strengthen your bond and show him how much you value his interests and passions.

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