Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is into meditating, there are many thoughtful and meaningful gift options that can enhance and complement his practice. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Meditation Cushion: A comfortable and ergonomic meditation cushion or zafu can greatly enhance the experience of sitting for long periods of time. Look for one that is made from high-quality materials and offers good support for the back and hips.

2. Meditation App or Subscription: Help your son deepen his practice by gifting him a subscription to a meditation app. There are many popular apps available, such as Headspace, Calm, or Insight Timer, which offer guided meditation sessions, tracks for sleep and relaxation, and courses on mindfulness and stress reduction.

3. Essential Oils Diffuser: A diffuser can create a calming atmosphere during meditation. Consider getting one that uses essential oils known for their relaxing properties, such as lavender, frankincense, or sandalwood. This will add an extra layer of tranquility to your son's meditation space.

4. Meditation Music or Soundscapes: Many people find that soothing music or natural soundscapes enhance their meditation practice. You can gift your son a collection of meditation music, nature sounds, or even a singing bowl. These can be played in the background during his meditation sessions to help him focus and relax.

5. Mindfulness Journal: Encourage your son's self-reflection and growth by giving him a mindfulness journal. This gift can provide a space for him to record his thoughts, emotions, and insights during his meditation practice. Look for a journal specifically designed for mindfulness, with prompts and exercises that facilitate introspection and self-awareness.

6. Inspirational Books: There are numerous books on meditation and mindfulness that can inspire and deepen your son's practice. Choose books written by respected authors and experts in the field. Some popular titles include "Meditation for Beginners" by Jack Kornfield, "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle, or "10% Happier" by Dan Harris.

7. Yoga or Meditation Classes: If your son is interested in exploring different meditation techniques or incorporating yoga into his practice, consider gifting him a subscription to a local yoga or meditation studio. This will allow him to attend classes and workshops to learn new skills and connect with a community of like-minded individuals.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows you've taken the time to understand your son's interests and support his passions. By choosing something that aligns with his love for meditating, you'll be highlighting your thoughtfulness and encouraging his personal growth and well-being.

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.”
