Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys journaling and creative writing, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider for him this Christmas. These gifts will not only inspire his creativity but also help him further enhance his passion for writing.

1. Writing Prompts Book: Consider getting him a writing prompts book that offers a wide range of interesting and thought-provoking writing prompts. This will provide him with endless inspiration and ideas for his creative writing endeavors.

2. Personalized Journal: A personalized journal with his name or a meaningful quote on the cover can make a meaningful gift. This will not only encourage him to write but also add a personal touch to his journaling experience.

3. Writing Tools: Invest in high-quality writing tools such as a set of quality pens or a mechanical pencil along with a collection of colorful and unique notebooks. These tools will not only make his writing experience more enjoyable but also motivate him to continue his creative pursuits.

4. Online Writing Course: Consider enrolling him in an online writing course or workshop where he can learn from professional writers and improve his skills. This will provide him with valuable guidance and tips to expand his knowledge and refine his writing techniques.

5. Inspirational Books: If he hasn't already read them, gift him a collection of inspirational books by his favorite authors or books that are known for their impact on the world of literature. These books will not only inspire him but also expose him to different writing styles and storytelling techniques.

6. Journaling Accessories: Enhance his journaling experience by including accessories such as colorful sticky notes, decorative washi tapes, and inspiring bookmarks. These little additions will not only make his journal visually appealing but also make his writing process more enjoyable.

7. Writing Journal Prompts Jar: Create a jar filled with handwritten journal prompts on colorful cards. Each day, he can pick a random prompt from the jar and use it as a starting point for his writing. This will add an element of surprise and spontaneity to his journaling routine.

8. Writing Retreat: Plan a writing retreat for him where he can spend a few days in a peaceful environment dedicated to his writing. This could be a cozy cabin in the woods or a rented beach house. This retreat will provide him with the perfect opportunity to disconnect, reflect, and focus on his writing.

9. Subscription to a Literary Magazine: Sign him up for a subscription to a literary magazine where he can read inspiring stories, poems, and essays from different writers. This will not only expose him to a rich variety of writing styles but also keep him informed about the latest trends in the literary world.

10. Encouraging Words: Finally, alongside any gift you choose, write a heartfelt letter to express your support and admiration for his passion for writing. Let him know that you believe in his talent and encourage him to continue pursuing his dreams.

Remember, choosing a meaningful and personal gift shows that you have considered his interests and passions. By supporting his love for journaling and creative writing, you are nurturing his creativity and providing him with the tools to express himself.

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.”
