Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for creative writing and fiction storytelling, there are several thoughtful and meaningful Christmas gift ideas that can fuel his imagination and enhance his writing skills. Here are a few options:

1. Writing Workshops or Classes: Consider enrolling him in writing workshops or creative writing classes in your area. These courses can provide valuable guidance and feedback from experienced writers, helping him further develop his skills and explore new avenues of storytelling.

2. Writing Prompt Books: Encourage your son's creativity by giving him a collection of writing prompt books. These books are filled with inspiring ideas and scenarios that can help spark his imagination and generate new story ideas.

3. Writing Tools and Accessories: Help your son become a more organized and efficient writer by gifting him writing tools and accessories. Consider quality notebooks, pens, and a stylish desk organizer to create a dedicated writing space where he can feel inspired and focused.

4. Books on Writing and Storytelling: Consider gifting him books on the craft of writing and storytelling. There are many great options available, such as Stephen King's "On Writing," Elizabeth Gilbert's "Big Magic," or Anne Lamott's "Bird by Bird." These books offer valuable advice, motivation, and insights from established authors that can inspire and guide him on his writing journey.

5. Subscriptions to Writing Magazines: A subscription to a reputable writing magazine, such as Writer's Digest or The Writer, can provide your son with ongoing inspiration, resources, and tips from experts in the field. It's a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year, offering new ideas, techniques, and opportunities for him to explore.

6. Personalized Writing Journal: Consider getting your son a personalized writing journal. Look for a journal with a cover design that reflects his interests, and include a heartfelt message on the first page. This will not only provide him with a special place to write down his thoughts and stories but also remind him of your love and support for his creative endeavors.

7. Literary Subscription Box: Surprise your son with a subscription to a literary-themed subscription box. These boxes typically include items like exclusive books, writing-related goodies, and literary-inspired gifts. It's a great way to keep his passion for creative writing alive and give him something to look forward to each month.

Remember, the most important aspect of selecting a gift for your son is showing your support and belief in his talent and passion. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests, you're not only encouraging his creativity but also providing him with the tools and inspiration to nurture his talent as a writer.

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.”
