Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves creating digital artwork, there are several great gift options that can enhance his passion and skills while also providing enjoyment. Here are a few ideas:

1. Graphics Tablet: A graphics tablet, such as a Wacom Intuos or Huion tablet, can be a fantastic gift for digital artists. These tablets allow for more precise control and mimic the feel of drawing on paper, making it easier for your son to create his digital artwork.

2. Digital Art Software: Consider gifting your son a subscription to professional digital art software like Adobe Creative Cloud, which includes programs like Photoshop and Illustrator. These tools are essential for digital artists and will give him access to a wide range of tools and features to explore.

3. Art Classes or Workshops: Help your son take his digital art skills to the next level by enrolling him in online art classes or workshops. Platforms like Udemy and Skillshare offer a variety of courses taught by experts that will help him refine his techniques and learn new skills.

4. Inspirational Art Books: Provide your son with inspiration by gifting him a collection of art books that showcase the works of renowned digital artists. Books like "The Art of Loish" by Lois van Baarle or "Digital Painting Techniques" by 3dtotal Publishing can help him discover new styles and methods.

5. Storage and Backup Solutions: Digital artwork can take up a significant amount of storage space. Consider gifting your son an external hard drive or a subscription to a cloud storage service, such as Dropbox or Google Drive, to ensure that his artwork is backed up and secure.

6. Art Tablet Stand: To make his digital art creation more comfortable, consider gifting him an adjustable tablet stand. This will allow him to position the tablet at a comfortable angle and prevent strain on his neck and back during long art sessions.

7. Art Prints or Custom Merchandise: If your son has already created some impressive artwork, surprise him by printing his work on canvas or turning it into custom merchandise like phone cases or t-shirts. This personalized gift will not only make him proud but also motivate him to keep creating.

Remember, the most important aspect of the gift is to show your support for your son's passion and interests. Consider his specific needs and preferences, and choose a gift that will help him grow as an artist while bringing joy to his artwork creation process.

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.”
