Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves doodling, there are plenty of amazing gift options that can help him express his creativity and enhance his artistic skills. Here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas:

1. Quality Art Supplies: Invest in a set of high-quality art supplies, including sketchbooks, different types of pens (such as felt-tip or brush pens), colored pencils, markers, and watercolor paints. Having a variety of tools will encourage him to experiment and explore different styles and techniques.

2. How-to Drawing Books: Look for instructional books or guides on doodling and drawing techniques. From step-by-step guides to drawing animals, manga characters, or fantasy creatures, these books can provide your son with inspiration and help him further develop his skills.

3. Art Classes or Workshops: Enroll him in a local art class or workshop that focuses on doodling or drawing. Learning from a professional artist can provide him with valuable guidance and feedback, as well as the opportunity to meet other like-minded individuals who share his passion.

4. Personalized Doodle Notebook: Consider getting him a personalized notebook or sketchbook with his name or initials on it. This way, he can have a dedicated space to jot down his ideas, sketches, and doodles.

5. Digital Drawing Tablet: If your son has shown an interest in digital art, a drawing tablet could be a fantastic gift. It allows him to bring his doodles to life digitally and experiment with various software and apps specifically designed for digital drawing.

6. Art Subscription Box: Subscription boxes like SketchBox or SmartArtBox deliver a curated selection of art supplies and doodle-related items straight to your doorstep on a monthly basis. This will surprise your son with new and exciting materials, providing him with fresh inspiration.

7. Doodle-themed Clothing or Accessories: Find clothing items or accessories featuring doodle-inspired designs, such as t-shirts, hoodies, bags, or phone cases. This way, your son can proudly display his love for doodling wherever he goes.

8. Art Showcase: Consider framing or displaying some of his best doodles in a gallery-style format. This shows your appreciation for his talent and provides motivation to continue exploring his artistic abilities.

9. Inspiring Art Prints or Posters: Search for prints or posters featuring artwork by famous doodlers or artists. Choose pieces that align with his interests, whether it be cartoons, nature, or abstract art. Hanging these on his wall can serve as a daily source of inspiration.

10. Create an Art Project Together: Dedicate some quality time to create an art project together. This could involve collaborating on a large mural, designing a custom doodle-themed t-shirt, or even creating a comic book. Not only will this gift strengthen your bond, but it will also encourage his creative thinking and problem-solving skills.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is to show your thoughtfulness and support for your son's passion. With any of these gifts, you're sure to inspire and nurture his love for doodling.

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.”
