Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves doodling and art journaling, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas that will encourage his creativity and enhance his artistic skills:

1. Sketchbook or Art Journal: A high-quality sketchbook or art journal is a must-have for any artist. Look for one with thick paper that can handle different mediums, such as pencils, markers, and watercolors. Opt for a unique design or personalized cover to make it even more special for him.

2. Drawing Supplies: Enhance his artistic process by gifting him a set of professional drawing supplies. Consider different types of pencils, pens, markers, and brushes. You can also include coloring materials like watercolor paints or colored pencils to add more versatility to his artwork.

3. Art Classes or Workshops: Enroll him in an art class or workshops that focus on his interests, such as doodling or art journaling. This will provide him with an opportunity to learn new techniques, meet other artists, and further develop his skills.

4. Art Supplies Organizer: Help him stay organized by providing a dedicated space for all his art supplies. Look for a portable art supplies organizer with compartments for various tools and materials. This gift will not only make his art supplies easily accessible but also keep his working area tidy.

5. How-to-Draw Books: Inspire his creativity by gifting him a selection of how-to-draw books. There are numerous options available, ranging from beginner to advanced levels, and covering various drawing styles. Consider getting books that focus on doodling, sketching, or even specific subjects like animals or landscapes.

6. Art Subscription Box: Surprise him with a monthly art subscription box that delivers new and exciting supplies to his doorstep. These subscription services often include a variety of art materials, project prompts, and inspiration, making it a perfect gift for someone who loves doodling and art journaling.

7. Digital Drawing Tablet: If your son is interested in digital art, a drawing tablet can be a fantastic gift. Look for a tablet that comes with a stylus and has pressure sensitivity to allow for more precise and realistic digital drawings.

8. Art Prints or Posters: Show your support for his artistic interests by gifting him art prints or posters featuring artwork from his favorite artists or in his preferred style. These can be used as decoration for his room or serve as inspiration for his own creations.

Remember, the key to finding the perfect gift for your son is to understand his preferences and interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with his passion for doodling and art journaling, you're not only providing him with a meaningful present but also encouraging his artistic growth and expression.

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.”
