Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who is passionate about fashion designing, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that can enhance his creativity and nurture his interest. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Fashion Designing Course or Workshop: Enroll him in a fashion designing course or workshop. This will provide him with a formal education or an opportunity to polish his skills. Look for reputable institutions or online platforms that offer courses suitable for his skill level and interests.

2. Fashion Designing Software: Invest in professional fashion designing software like Adobe Illustrator, which is widely used by industry professionals. With this software, he can create digital designs, experiment with different patterns and colors, and enhance his technical skills.

3. Fashion Designing Books: Gift him a selection of books that explore the world of fashion designing. Look for titles that cover various aspects such as design techniques, fashion history, and inspirational stories from successful designers. Some recommended books include "Fashion Design Course: Principles, Practice, and Techniques" by Steven Faerm and "The Little Dictionary of Fashion" by Christian Dior.

4. Drawing Tools and Materials: Provide him with high-quality drawing tools and materials to enhance his sketching and illustration skills. Consider getting him a sketchbook, drawing pencils, markers, colored pencils, and watercolor sets. These tools will allow him to bring his ideas to life and further develop his creative expression.

5. Fashion Designing Magazine Subscription: Subscribe him to a fashion designing magazine or a monthly subscription box that introduces him to new trends, fashion industry updates, and exclusive interviews with renowned designers. This will help him stay connected to the industry and gain inspiration from the latest fashion trends.

6. Fashion Designing Internship or Mentorship: Help him secure an internship or mentorship opportunity with a local fashion designer or fashion house. This hands-on experience will provide him with practical insights, exposure to the industry, and the opportunity to learn from professionals in the field.

7. Fashion Designing Equipment: If he is serious about pursuing fashion designing as a career, consider investing in specialized equipment such as a sewing machine, mannequin, pattern-making tools, or a dress form. These tools and equipment will allow him to experiment with different designs and create prototypes.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is to show your son that you support his passion and believe in his talent. By providing him with resources, educational opportunities, and tools to further develop his skills, you are encouraging him to pursue his dreams and nurturing his passion for fashion designing.

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.”
