2. Meditation cushion: A comfortable meditation cushion can be an invaluable aid for his mindfulness practice. Look for one that provides proper support and is made from eco-friendly materials. This gift will enhance his meditation sessions by promoting good posture and comfort.

3. Mindfulness books: There are numerous books that delve into the practice of mindfulness, its benefits, and various techniques. Look for books written by renowned authors such as Jon Kabat-Zinn, Thich Nhat Hanh, or Sharon Salzberg. You can also explore books that specifically focus on mindfulness for teens or young adults.

4. Essential oil diffuser: A diffuser is a wonderful gift that can create a calm and serene atmosphere in his living space. Choose one that uses natural essential oils known for their relaxation and stress-reducing properties, such as lavender or chamomile.

5. Mindful coloring book: Adult coloring books designed with intricate patterns and designs can be an excellent tool for practicing mindfulness. Coloring engages the senses, promotes focus and relaxation, and allows for creative expression.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“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.”
