Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who loves doodling and sketchnoting, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that could inspire her creativity and fuel her passion for art. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. High-quality sketchbook: A blank canvas is every artist's paradise. Surprise your daughter with a high-quality sketchbook that has thick, acid-free paper, suitable for different mediums like pen, pencil, markers, or watercolor. Look for one with a durable hardcover and enough pages to keep her inspired for a long time.

2. Set of sketching materials: Enhance your daughter's artistic experience by gifting her a set of sketching materials. Consider including different types of pencils, such as graphite, charcoal, or colored pencils. You could also include markers, fineliners, and brush pens for variety.

3. Art subscription box: Subscribing to an art-themed subscription box can provide your daughter with regular doses of inspiration. These boxes often include art supplies, tutorial guides, and other creative goodies. It's like getting a surprise gift every month, which can help fuel her passion and keep her motivated.

4. Dedicated workspace: Create a dedicated space for your daughter's artistic endeavors. Whether it's a corner of her room or a small desk, make sure she has a comfortable and well-lit environment to doodle and sketch. Add a few decorations like fairy lights or a mini easel to make it special and inspirational.

5. Art workshop or class: Enroll your daughter in an art workshop or class that focuses on doodling or sketchnoting. This will provide her with the opportunity to learn new techniques, connect with other artists, and receive professional guidance. It can be a valuable experience to boost her skills and confidence.

6. Inspiring books and resources: Explore books that showcase doodling and sketchnoting techniques, such as "The Sketchnote Handbook" by Mike Rohde or "Doodle Revolution" by Sunni Brown. Additionally, there are numerous online courses and tutorial videos available that could enhance her artistic knowledge and creativity.

7. Customized art supplies: Personalize your daughter's art supplies by getting them customized with her name or a favorite quote. A personalized sketching pencil set, a custom-made doodling case, or even a custom engraved sketchbook can make her feel special and encourage her to explore her artistic talents.

8. Art portfolio or display case: Help your daughter proudly showcase her artwork by gifting her an art portfolio or a display case. This will make it easier for her to organize and protect her sketches, doodles, and sketchnotes. It can also serve as a constant reminder of her progress and growth as an artist.

Remember, the key is to encourage and support your daughter's passion for doodling and sketchnoting. By choosing a gift that aligns with her interests, you'll not only make her Christmas special but also motivate her to pursue her artistic talents with even more enthusiasm.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
