Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for comic book illustration and graphic novels, there are plenty of meaningful and personalized gift options you can consider. Here are a few ideas that he is sure to appreciate:

1. Original Artwork: Commissioning or purchasing an original piece of comic book artwork would be a fantastic gift. You can reach out to talented comic book artists or local illustrators and have them create a custom piece based on your son's favorite characters or stories. This unique artwork will not only be a visually impressive gift, but it will also show your son that you support and encourage his artistic interests.

2. Subscription to a Graphic Novel Club: Consider signing him up for a subscription to a graphic novel club. There are several online services that offer curated selections of the latest and most popular graphic novels delivered straight to your door every month. This gift not only allows him to expand his collection but also introduces him to new and exciting graphic novels he may not have discovered otherwise.

3. Art Supplies: If your son enjoys drawing or creating his own comic book characters, providing him with high-quality art supplies would make an excellent gift. Consider getting him a set of professional-grade markers, sketchbooks, or a digital drawing tablet, depending on his preference and skill level. This gift will allow him to further explore and develop his artistic abilities.

4. Collectible Figures: Many comic book enthusiasts enjoy collecting figures of their favorite characters. Investigate whether there are any limited edition or rare figures available of his most beloved comic book heroes. A well-chosen collectible will not only make him happy but also serve as a display piece that can remind him of his passion for comic book illustration.

5. Comic Book Convention Tickets: Comic book conventions are a great way for fans to immerse themselves in all things related to their favorite characters and stories. Consider surprising your son with tickets to a comic book convention in your area or even at a popular destination if feasible. This experience will allow him to meet and interact with his favorite artists, attend panels, and browse a wide variety of comic book merchandise.

6. Biography of a Comic Book Artist: Gift him a biography or autobiography of a renowned comic book artist. This will not only provide him with insight into the life and work of someone he admires but also inspire and motivate him in his own artistic journey.

It's important to choose a gift that reflects your son's specific interests within comic book illustration and graphic novels. By selecting something personal and meaningful, you'll demonstrate your support for his passion and encourage him to continue pursuing his artistic endeavors.

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.”
