Five Star Gift Ideas

For a Christmas gift for your son who enjoys interior design, you can consider various options that would inspire and fuel his passion for the subject. Here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas tailored to his interests:

1. Books and Magazines: A collection of books and magazines focused on interior design could be an excellent gift. Look for titles that provide inspiration, showcase different design styles, or offer practical tips on home decoration. Some popular choices include "Interior Design Course: Principles, Practices, and Techniques" by Tomris Tangaz and "Domino: The Book of Decorating" by Deborah Needleman.

2. Mood Boards and Design Tools: Help your son nurture his creativity by getting him some design tools. Consider buying a set of design mood boards, which he can use to create visual representations of his ideas and concepts. Additionally, you can purchase design software or a subscription to an online interior design platform, allowing him to experiment and bring his visions to life digitally.

3. Online Design Courses: If your son has expressed an interest in further developing his skills, consider enrolling him in an online interior design course. Many reputable websites offer courses tailored to different levels of expertise, ranging from beginner to advanced. This gift will provide an opportunity for him to learn new techniques and gain valuable knowledge from professionals in the field.

4. Home Decor Accessories: Encourage your son's love for interior design by gifting him some unique home decor accessories. Look for items that reflect his personal style, such as modern art prints, designer candle holders, or decorative pillows. These accessories can inspire him while adding a touch of personality to his living space.

5. Magazine Subscriptions: Surprise your son with a subscription to a well-known interior design magazine. These magazines often feature stunning visuals, the latest design trends, and interviews with renowned designers. Each issue will serve as a source of inspiration and keep him updated on the ever-evolving world of interior design.

6. Professional Consultation: If your son dreams of pursuing a career in interior design, consider arranging a consultation session with a professional interior designer. This gift will provide him with the opportunity to gain first-hand insights and advice from someone who has experience in the field. The designer can offer guidance on portfolio development, career paths, and answer any questions he may have.

7. Field Trip or Exhibition Visit: Plan a visit to a local design exhibition, art gallery, or a museum with interior design exhibits. This experience will expose your son to diverse styles, innovative designs, and allow him to immerse himself in the world of interior design. It can be a memorable and educational outing that expands his creative horizons.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your son that you support and appreciate his passion for interior design. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests, you are not only giving him a physical item but also expressing your love and recognition of his talent and dedication.

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

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
