Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys drawing and sketching, there are many thoughtful and personal gift options that can inspire and encourage his artistic talent. Here are a few ideas that might be perfect for him:

1. High-quality Sketchbook: Consider getting him a premium sketchbook with thick, acid-free paper that is suitable for various drawing mediums like pencils, markers, or charcoal. Opt for a size that is convenient for carrying around, so he can always have a place to capture his ideas and creations.

2. Set of Professional Drawing Pencils: Invest in a set of high-quality drawing pencils. Look for a range of graphite hardness, including soft, medium, and hard leads, which will enable him to create a variety of shades, textures, and details in his drawings.

3. Portable Art Set: A portable art set can be a perfect gift for an artist on the go. Consider a compact set with a variety of drawing materials, such as colored pencils, charcoal sticks, erasers, and blending tools. This will allow your son to explore different mediums and techniques wherever he is.

4. Online Art Classes or Workshops: Consider enrolling your son in an online art class or workshop that specializes in drawing and sketching. There are many platforms available where he can learn from professional artists, improve his skills, and get inspired by others in the art community.

5. Artist Mannequin: A poseable artist mannequin can be a great tool for learning and practicing figure drawing. These wooden models come in various sizes and can be adjusted into different poses for studying anatomy and exploring human proportions.

6. Personalized Art Supplies: To add a special touch to his art supplies, you can consider getting some items personalized. For example, you can have his name engraved on a set of pencils, or his artwork printed on a custom sketchbook cover. These personalized items can make his art supplies feel even more special and unique.

7. Art Inspiration Books: Look for books featuring the works of renowned artists, sketchbooks of famous illustrators, or instructional books on drawing techniques. These books can provide your son with inspiration, ideas, and guidance on honing his artistic skills.

Remember, the most important aspect of a gift is the thought behind it. Showing your support and encouragement for his passion by giving him something that aligns with his interests will surely make your son feel appreciated and loved.

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.”
