Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys doodling and sketching, there are several meaningful and personalized gift options that you can consider. Here are a few ideas to inspire you:

1. High-Quality Sketchbook: Consider gifting your son a premium-quality sketchbook, preferably one that is specifically designed for artists. Look for thick and durable paper that can handle various mediums like pencil, ink, markers, and watercolors. A sketchbook with a hardcover or binding that allows it to lay flat will be an added bonus for his artistic convenience.

2. Art Supplies Set: Add to your son's creative arsenal by putting together an art supplies set tailored to his sketching and doodling needs. Include a range of drawing pencils, erasers, blending stumps, ink pens, colored pencils, and any other tools he might enjoy experimenting with. You can opt for a pre-packaged set or curate one yourself based on his preferences.

3. Portable Sketching Kit: If your son likes to take his doodling on-the-go, consider getting him a portable sketching kit. Look for a compact set that includes a sketchbook, a variety of pencils, a mini pencil sharpener, erasers, and storage for these tools. This way, he can easily carry his creative passion wherever he goes, be it to school, parks, or coffee shops.

4. Digital Drawing Tablet: If your son has shown an interest in digital art or wants to explore it further, a digital drawing tablet could be a fantastic gift. These tablets allow artists to sketch, doodle, and create digital artwork directly on the screen. Look for tablets that offer pressure sensitivity, a sufficient drawing area, and compatibility with software that aligns with his interests.

5. Art Classes or Workshops: Consider enrolling your son in art classes or workshops that focus specifically on sketching and doodling techniques. This gift not only provides him with the opportunity to enhance his skills but also enables him to learn from professionals and interact with other artists. Look for local art studios or community centers that offer such classes.

6. Customized Sketchbook: Add a personal touch to your gift by getting a customized sketchbook made especially for your son. You can have his name or a special message engraved on the cover, or even have a custom printed sketchbook featuring his favorite artwork or quotes that inspire him. This will make the gift even more sentimental and memorable.

Remember, while the gift itself is important, what truly matters is the thought and effort you put into understanding his passion for doodling and sketching. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests, you are not only providing him with a tool for expression but also encouraging and supporting his creative journey.

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.”
