5. Writing software or tools: If your son enjoys writing on a computer, consider investing in writing software that will aid his creative process. Programs like Scrivener or Grammarly can be useful for organizing and editing his work. Alternatively, a portable writing tool like a digital notebook can be a handy accessory for on-the-go writing.

6. A personalized writing set: Consider gifting your son a customized writing set that includes specialized stationery with his name or initials engraved on it. This would not only encourage him to write but also make the experience more personal and enjoyable.

Remember, the most important aspect of a meaningful gift is the thought behind it. Consider your son's specific interests and preferences, and try to find a gift that reflects his personality and passion for creative writing.

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.”
