Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys building model cars and airplanes, you can consider a variety of gift options that will not only contribute to his hobby but also enhance his skills and provide a meaningful experience. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Advanced Model Kits: If your son has already built basic model kits, you can explore advanced model kits that offer more intricate details and a greater level of challenge. Look for kits that align with his interests, whether it’s classic cars, fighter planes, or even famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or Taj Mahal.

2. Tools and Accessories: Building models requires specific tools and accessories that can make the process easier and more enjoyable. Consider gifting him a set of high-quality modeling tools such as cutters, brushes, sandpaper, and paint. Additionally, accessories like glue, decals, and paint sets can supplement his existing collection and allow him to customize his models to his liking.

3. Subscription to a Model Kit Club: Consider gifting your son a subscription to a model kit club, where he can receive new kits every month or quarterly. These kits often come with detailed instructions and all the necessary materials. It will not only add excitement and anticipation to his hobby, but also give him a chance to explore a variety of models from different eras and genres.

4. Modeling Workshops or Classes: If your son is passionate about modeling and wants to learn advanced techniques or improve his skills, you can gift him enrollment in a modeling workshop or class. These classes are often offered by local hobby shops or community centers and provide hands-on guidance from experienced modelers. This gift would not only enhance his skills but also give him an opportunity to connect with fellow model enthusiasts and expand his knowledge.

5. Display Case or Cabinet: Help your son showcase his completed model cars and airplanes by gifting him a display case or cabinet. This will not only protect his creations from dust and damage but also allow him to proudly display his work as a collection or as individual pieces. Look for display cases with adjustable shelves and protective features such as glass doors to keep his models safe.

Remember to consider your son's specific interests and preferences while choosing a gift. Whether it's vintage cars, military aircraft, or sci-fi models, selecting a gift that aligns with his favorite themes will add personal value and make it even more special.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“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.”
