Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for interior decorating and home staging, there are plenty of thoughtful and practical gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas that might inspire you and show your support for his interests:

1. Design and Decor Books: Look for renowned interior design books written by experts in the field. These books can provide inspiration, practical tips, and new perspectives for your son's design endeavors. Some popular options include "The Home Edit" by Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin or "Elements of Style" by Erin Gates.

2. Home Decor Subscription Boxes: Consider gifting your son a subscription box tailored to interior design enthusiasts. These boxes typically contain curated home decor items, such as unique accessories, textiles, or artistic pieces. They can be a great way for him to discover new trends and enhance his decorating skills. Look for options like Decocrated or Boxwalla Home.

3. Online Courses or Workshops: Help your son expand his knowledge and refine his skills with online interior design courses or workshops. There are numerous platforms that offer courses specifically tailored to various aspects of home staging and interior decorating. Websites like Udemy, Masterclass, or Skillshare offer a wide range of classes taught by professionals in the industry.

4. Professional Consultation: Consider arranging a consultation with a local interior designer or home stager who can provide your son with personalized advice and guidance. This could be a valuable opportunity for him to learn from a professional and gain hands-on experience in the field.

5. Magazine Subscriptions: A monthly or yearly subscription to a reputable interior design magazine can keep your son up-to-date with the latest trends, tips, and inspiration. Magazines like Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, or House Beautiful are popular choices within the industry.

6. Interior Design Tools and Gadgets: Equip your son with the right tools to bring his ideas to life. Look for items such as a color wheel, drafting tools, a laser measure, or even a 3D printer for creating scaled models of his designs.

7. Artwork or Prints: Help your son curate his own art collection by gifting him a piece of artwork or prints that align with his personal style and preferences. You can choose something that will look great in his own space or serve as an inspiration for his future projects.

8. Gift Cards: If you're unsure about specific items or courses to choose, consider giving your son a gift card to a home decor or art supply store. This will allow him to select exactly what he needs or wants for his projects while still feeling the support from you.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows your son that you appreciate his passions and support his interests. By choosing a gift that reflects his love for interior decorating and home staging, you're not only giving him a tangible item but also demonstrating your understanding of his aspirations.

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.”
