Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who is passionate about interior design and decorating spaces, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that can both inspire and support his love for this creative field. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Interior Design Books: Consider buying him some renowned interior design books that showcase different design styles, such as "Elements of Style" by Erin Gates or "The Perfectly Imperfect Home" by Deborah Needleman. These books will not only inspire his creativity but also serve as valuable reference materials.

2. Design Software: Help him take his design skills to the next level by gifting him professional design software like AutoCAD, SketchUp, or Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. These tools will enable him to bring his ideas to life and gain hands-on experience in interior design.

3. Magazine Subscriptions: Gift him an annual subscription to design magazines like Architectural Digest or Elle Decor. These magazines are filled with stunning visuals, design tips, and architectural inspiration from around the world.

4. Artwork or Wall Decor: Enhance his space with unique pieces of artwork or wall decor that reflect his style. Look for statement pieces, abstract paintings, or photography that he can use to create a focal point in his room or to get inspiration for his own designs.

5. Interior Design Workshop or Course: Consider enrolling him in an interior design workshop or a short course that aligns with his interests. This will allow him to learn new techniques, gain exposure to industry professionals, and network with other aspiring designers.

6. Subscription to Online Design Platform: There are several online interior design platforms like Houzz, Decorist, or Modsy that offer virtual design services. Gifting him a subscription to one of these platforms will allow him to explore various design styles, virtually decorate spaces, and even seek professional design assistance if needed.

7. DIY Home Decor Kits: Encourage his creativity by giving him DIY home decor kits, such as macrame wall hangings, terrarium-making kits, or DIY mini furniture sets. These kits will not only provide him with hands-on experience but also serve as a fun and engaging activity for him.

8. Gift Card to Home Decor Stores: If you're not sure about his specific taste, consider giving him a gift card to his favorite home decor stores like West Elm, Crate & Barrel, or Restoration Hardware. This will allow him to choose items that resonate with his personal design style.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your son that you support his passion and believe in his talent. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests, you are not only acknowledging his passion but also giving him the tools and resources he needs to continue pursuing his love for interior 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.”
