Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who is passionate about learning the art of flower arrangement, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that can encourage and support his interest.

1. Flower Arranging Classes: Consider enrolling your son in a flower arranging class or workshop. This will provide him with the opportunity to learn from professionals and expand his skills. Look for classes that offer a variety of techniques and styles, such as Japanese ikebana or modern floral design.

2. Floral Design Books: Gift your son with a selection of books dedicated to the art of flower arranging. Look for titles that offer a combination of inspiration, practical tips, and step-by-step guides. Books like "The Flower Recipe Book" by Alethea Harampolis and Jill Rizzo or "Floret Farm's Cut Flower Garden" by Erin Benzakein can provide a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.

3. Flower Arranging Tools: A set of high-quality flower arranging tools can make the process easier and more enjoyable for your son. Consider giving him a selection of tools such as floral scissors, wire cutters, floral tape, and a floral frog or foam for arranging. These tools will allow him to practice his skills and create beautiful arrangements.

4. Subscription to a Flower Delivery Service: Surprise your son with a subscription to a flower delivery service. Companies like BloomsyBox or The Bouqs Co. offer regular deliveries of fresh, seasonal flowers straight to his doorstep. This will not only provide him with a consistent supply of flowers to practice with but also expose him to a variety of different blooms and styles.

5. Flower Arranging Starter Kit: Put together a personalized flower arranging starter kit for your son. Include a selection of basic floral supplies, such as floral shears, a variety of vases in different sizes, floral foam, and a guidebook on different flower arranging techniques. This complete kit will allow him to dive right into practicing and experimenting with his newfound skill.

6. Flower Market Trip: Plan a special outing to a local flower market or farm where your son can handpick the flowers for his arrangements. This experience will not only inspire his creativity but also allow him to connect with the beauty of nature firsthand.

7. Flower Arranging Workstation: If your son is serious about flower arranging, consider setting up a dedicated workstation for him. This could include a sturdy table or desk, a well-lit area, and storage for his tools and supplies. Organizing a space specifically for his hobby will help foster his passion and make practicing more convenient.

Remember, the most important aspect of choosing a gift for your son is to show your support and encouragement for his passion. Your thoughtful consideration and effort in selecting a meaningful gift related to his interest in flower arranging will be appreciated and cherished.

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.”
