Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys model building, there are plenty of thoughtful and meaningful gift options you can consider. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Advanced Model Kit: If your son enjoys a challenge, consider getting him an advanced model kit that requires more skill and expertise to complete. This could be a specific type of vehicle he is interested in, like a classic car or an aircraft. Choosing a kit that matches his interests will make the gift even more special.

2. Cutting-Edge Tools: Help enhance your son's model building experience by investing in high-quality tools he can use for his projects. Look for tools such as precision cutters, sanding sticks, or an airbrush kit. These tools can elevate the quality of his models and make the process more enjoyable.

3. Model Building Magazine Subscription: A subscription to a model building magazine can provide your son with a constant source of inspiration and knowledge. It will allow him to stay up to date with the latest trends, techniques, and advances in the world of model building.

4. Display Case: Consider getting your son a display case to showcase his completed models. Display cases not only protect the models from dust and damage but also allow him to exhibit his hard work and creativity. You can choose a display case with built-in LED lighting to further enhance the presentation.

5. Historical Model Kit: If your son has a particular interest in history, consider getting him a historical model kit. This could be a famous warship, an iconic aircraft, or a historically significant car. Research his favorite historical era or event to find a model kit that aligns with his interest.

6. Model Building Workshop or Class: Look for local workshops or classes where your son can learn new techniques and skills in model building. This could be a one-day workshop or a series of lessons that will help him take his skills to the next level. Not only will he learn new tricks, but he will also have the opportunity to connect with other model builders in his area.

7. Reference Books: Books about model building techniques, tips, and inspiration can be a valuable resource for your son. Look for books that focus on his specific interests, whether it's military models, sci-fi models, or architectural models. These books can provide new insights and ideas to help him improve his craft.

Remember, the most important aspect of choosing a gift for your son is to show that you support his passion and are actively interested in his hobbies. By selecting a meaningful gift that aligns with his interests, he will know that you value his passion for model building and support his creative endeavors.

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.”
