Five Star Gift Ideas

For your dad who enjoys documenting urban street art, I have some meaningful and personal gift ideas that could complement his passion and further enhance his experience while indulging in this fascinating art form.

1. Photography Gear: As an urban street art photographer, your dad might appreciate some photography accessories that can contribute to his craft. Consider upgrading his camera lenses or getting him a tripod to help capture those stunning shots with ease and precision. Additionally, you could gift him a camera bag or backpack specifically designed for photographers, ensuring that he can carry his equipment comfortably and safely while he explores different locations.

2. Artistic Coffee Table Book: There are numerous coffee table books available that highlight urban street art from around the world. Look for a carefully curated collection featuring photographs and stories of renowned street artists and their captivating works. This could serve as a source of inspiration and also provide your dad with a visual reference when he wants to explore new ideas or revisit familiar pieces.

3. Art Prints or Posters: Contact local street artists or browse online platforms where they sell their work to find prints or posters of their pieces. Pick out some of your dad's favorite works to frame and display in his workspace or at home. This way, he can appreciate the art even when he's not out and about capturing it himself.

4. Graffiti Walking Tour: Research if there are any guided graffiti or street art walking tours in your dad's area or in a city he has expressed interest in visiting. Such tours often take enthusiasts through vibrant neighborhoods where they can witness the evolution of street art, learn about the artists, and discover hidden gems. Giving your dad the opportunity to explore new street art scenes in person could be an exciting and educational gift.

5. Subscription to Street Art Magazines: Help your dad stay up-to-date with the latest urban street art trends and happenings by gifting him a subscription to a street art or graffiti magazine. These publications often feature interviews with artists, showcase upcoming projects, and present articles that delve into the history and cultural significance of street art. It can be a great source of inspiration for him to discover new artists and styles.

6. Customized Photo Book: Gather your dad's best photographs of urban street art and create a personalized photo book. Online services allow you to easily design and print a high-quality book, complete with captions and descriptions. This gift would not only showcase your dad's work but also serve as a keepsake for him to look back on his journey as a street art photographer.

Remember, the most meaningful gift for your dad is the one that shows your thoughtfulness and understanding of his passions. Choose an item or experience that aligns with his love for documenting urban street art, and he is sure to appreciate the effort you put into selecting something that resonates with his interests.

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