Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves model building, there are plenty of gift ideas that will help him enhance his hobby and bring a smile to his face this Christmas. Here are some thoughtful and fun gift suggestions:

1. Model Building Kits: Surprise him with a new model building kit that reflects his interests. Whether it's planes, cars, or ships, there are a variety of options available. Look for advanced kits that will challenge his skills and offer a sense of accomplishment upon completion.

2. Specialty Tools: Help him upgrade his model building toolbox with specialized tools. Consider getting him high-quality precision tools such as small screwdrivers, clippers, files, or sandpaper for more precise and detailed work.

3. Workspace Organization: If his model building area is cluttered, consider gifting him storage solutions like storage bins, small drawers, or organizers to keep his tools and materials neat and easily accessible.

4. Building Materials: Help him expand his options by getting him a variety of building materials. For example, consider getting different types of paints in various colors, adhesive materials, or additional decals that he can use to customize his models.

5. Reference Books and Magazines: Surprise him with books or magazines that provide in-depth information about his favorite model subjects. They can inspire new ideas, teach advanced techniques, or offer historical context, making his model building experience even more enjoyable.

6. Gift Card to a Hobby Store: If you're unsure about which specific model kit or material to get him, a gift card to a local hobby store will give him the freedom to choose what he needs or wants, ensuring he gets exactly what he desires.

7. Model Display Case: Help him proudly display his completed models by gifting him an acrylic display case. This will not only protect his cherished creations from dust and damage but also showcase his talents to family and friends.

8. Model Building Workshops or Classes: Consider gifting him enrollment in a model building workshop or class. This way, he can learn new techniques, meet fellow enthusiasts, and further develop his skills. It can be a valuable and memorable experience for him.

9. Model Building Tools Organizer: If he does not already have one, consider gifting him a model building tools organizer. There are various options available, ranging from small portable toolboxes to larger wall-mounted units. This will help him keep his tools organized and easily accessible during his model building sessions.

10. Subscription to a Model Building Magazine: Look into subscribing him to a popular model building magazine. This will not only provide him with a regular dose of inspiration, but also keep him updated on the latest model building trends, techniques, and new kit releases.

Remember, the most important thing is to show him that you support and understand his passion for model building. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests, you will make this Christmas truly special for him.

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.”
