Five Star Gift Ideas

How about getting your son a personalized sketchbook or a professional set of art supplies? This would not only encourage his love for doodle art but also provide him with the tools he needs to explore and sharpen his skills.

In terms of sketchbooks, there are many options available in various sizes, paper quality, and even with customizable covers. Look for a sketchbook that has thick, acid-free paper, which will prevent ink bleeding and allow for experimentation with various mediums. You can even find sketchbooks specifically designed for doodlers, featuring grids or dot patterns, if your son enjoys incorporating structure into his art.

To accompany the sketchbook, consider getting him a set of high-quality art supplies tailored for doodle art. Look for pens with different nib sizes and colors, fine-tip markers, gel pens, and even brush pens for creating different textures and effects. This will give him a wide range of options to experiment with and bring his doodle art to life.

Another idea is to enroll your son in an online or local doodle art class. Learning from experienced artists can expand his skills and knowledge of different techniques and styles. Online platforms offer a wide range of courses, and some even have specially curated classes dedicated to doodle art. Alternatively, you can look for local art studios or community centers that offer doodle art workshops or lessons.

If you want to go a step further, consider organizing a mini art exhibit at home to showcase his doodle art. Hang a clothesline in his room or a designated space, and use clothespins to display his artwork. This will not only make him feel proud of his creations but also inspire him to continue exploring and experimenting with his doodle art.

Lastly, keep an eye out for any doodle art events or conventions happening near you. Attending such events can expose your son to a larger community of doodle artists, provide inspiration, and allow him to connect with fellow enthusiasts. Plus, he might even get the opportunity to participate in workshops or meet his favorite artists.

Remember, the key to a meaningful gift is to support and nurture his passion for doodle art. By providing him with the right tools, resources, and experiences, you'll not only encourage his creativity but also show that you value his interests and want to help him grow as an artist.

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.”
