Five Star Gift Ideas

For the interior design enthusiast in your life, there are plenty of thoughtful and meaningful gift options that will cater to their passion and help fuel their creativity. Here are a few ideas to consider for your son:

1. Coffee Table Books: A visually appealing coffee table book focused on interior design, featuring insightful advice, beautiful photographs, and tips from renowned designers can be an excellent inspiration source. Look for books that cover a variety of design concepts, styles, and techniques to broaden his knowledge.

2. Professional Design Software: Invest in a subscription to professional design software like AutoCAD or Adobe Creative Cloud, which will allow your son to explore his creativity and design various spaces with precision and detail.

3. Home Design Course or Workshop: Help your son enhance his skills and knowledge by enrolling him in an interior design course or workshop. Choose a course that aligns with his preferred style or specialization, whether it's residential, commercial, or sustainable design.

4. Architectural Model Kit: If your son enjoys hands-on activities, an architectural model kit can be an interesting gift. These kits contain materials and instructions to build miniature models of iconic buildings or even custom designs, providing a fun and tactile way to explore his passion.

5. Personalized Sketchbook or Notebook: A high-quality sketchbook or notebook with your son's name or initials embossed on the cover is a thoughtful and practical gift. This will enable him to jot down ideas, make sketches, or keep track of his design projects and inspirations.

6. Art Prints or Posters: Decorate his workspace or design studio with art prints or posters that feature notable buildings, architecture, or interior design elements. Look for iconic designs or styles that align with his preferences, whether it's modern, minimalist, or classical.

7. Subscription to Design Magazines: Keep your son up-to-date with the latest design trends and inspirations by gifting him a subscription to a reputable interior design magazine. These magazines often feature beautiful photographs of real-life spaces, interviews with notable designers, and valuable industry insights.

8. Decorative Elements: Consider unique decorative elements that can enhance his personal space or studio, such as geometric wall art, designer desk accessories, or innovative lighting fixtures. These items will not only add aesthetic appeal but also encourage his creative thinking.

9. Design Studio Tools: Equip your son's design studio with essential tools like a quality set of drafting pencils, rulers, a compass, or specialized tools for designing floor plans or 3D models. These tools will elevate his design process and make it more precise and professional.

10. Design Experiences: Treat your son to experiences that will further fuel his enthusiasm for interior design. This could include guided visits to architectural landmarks, attending design exhibitions or trade fairs, or even arranging a meeting with a renowned designer who can offer advice and insights.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows your son that you appreciate and understand his passion for interior design. By catering to his interests and supporting his creative ambitions, you are giving him not only a material gift but also encouragement to pursue his dreams in the field of design.

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.”
