Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves digital art, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that can enhance his creativity and passion. Here are a few suggestions that will surely bring a smile to his face:

1. Graphics Tablet: A graphics tablet is an essential tool for digital artists. It allows them to draw directly on its surface using a stylus, providing a more intuitive and natural drawing experience. Look for a tablet that has pressure sensitivity and a good level of accuracy. The Wacom Intuos Pro or Huion Kamvas series are popular options.

2. Drawing Software: Help your son take his digital art to the next level by gifting him a high-quality drawing software. Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, or Corel Painter are excellent choices that provide a wide range of tools and features to explore his artistic abilities.

3. Online Course or Workshop: Consider enrolling your son in an online course or workshop that focuses on digital art. There are many platforms like Udemy, Skillshare, or Domestika that offer courses specifically designed for digital artists. This will not only provide him with valuable knowledge and techniques but also inspire him to continue improving his skills.

4. Art Print or Custom Artwork: Find a digital art piece that your son admires and have it printed and framed. This will not only decorate his space but also serve as a constant source of inspiration. Alternatively, you can commission a custom artwork from a digital artist based on his favorite subject or style.

5. Inspiring Books and Magazines: Explore books and magazines that showcase stunning digital art and provide insights from renowned artists. Some popular choices include "The Digital Art Book" by Imagine Publishing, "Digital Painting Techniques" by 3DTotal Publishing, or "ImagineFX" magazine. These resources will offer inspiration, tips, and tutorials to fuel his creativity.

6. Quality Art Supplies: Even though he works digitally, your son might still enjoy traditional art supplies for sketching or experimenting. Consider getting him high-quality sketchbooks, pencils, markers, or even a set of professional-grade colored pencils. These can be used for preliminary sketches or mixed media projects.

7. USB Flash Drive or External Hard Drive: Help your son organize and store his digital art files by gifting him a reliable USB flash drive or an external hard drive. Choose a capacity that can handle his growing collection of artwork and ensure it is compatible with his computer.

Remember, the key to finding the perfect gift is to understand your son's passions and interests. By selecting a gift that aligns with his love for digital art, you're offering him not only a thoughtful present but also an opportunity to pursue his creative dreams.

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.”
