Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for modeling and fashion design, there are plenty of thoughtful and inspiring gifts that will further fuel his creativity and help him pursue his interests. Consider the following gift ideas tailored to his particular hobbies:

1. Fashion Design Kit: Look for a comprehensive fashion design kit that includes a sketch pad, design templates, fabric swatches, colored pencils, and markers. This will allow your son to bring his fashion ideas to life and experiment with different design concepts.

2. Reference Books and Magazines: Help your son expand his knowledge and find inspiration by gifting him fashion-related books or magazines. Look for titles that focus on fashion history, design techniques, or interviews with industry professionals. Some popular options include "The Fashion Book" by Phaidon or fashion magazines like Vogue or W Magazine.

3. Sewing Machine: Invest in a quality sewing machine for your son to help him actualize his designs. Whether he wants to create his own garments or experiment with alterations and modifications, a sewing machine will enable him to bring his visions to reality.

4. Fashion Sketchbook: Gift your son a fashion sketchbook designed specifically for aspiring fashion designers. These sketchbooks often have pre-drawn croquis templates for fashion figures, which make it easier for him to create and experiment with different fashion designs.

5. Online Fashion Design Courses: Consider enrolling your son in online fashion design courses or workshops. Websites like Udemy or Skillshare offer a wide array of courses taught by industry professionals, covering topics such as fashion illustration, pattern-making, or garment construction.

6. High-quality Fashion Design Software: If your son enjoys digital design, consider purchasing professional fashion design software such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW. These software programs will allow him to create intricate digital fashion designs and experiment with different color palettes and fabric patterns.

7. Fashion Magazine Subscription: Gift your son a subscription to a prestigious fashion magazine that aligns with his interests. Subscribing to magazines like "WWD" (Women's Wear Daily) or "Elle" will give him access to current fashion trends, interviews with industry leaders, and fashion show coverage.

8. Fabric Swatches: Collect a variety of different fabric swatches in different colors and textures. These can serve as a visual and tactile reference for your son's fashion design projects and help him experiment with different materials.

9. Future Fashion Design Exhibition Tickets: Keep an eye out for upcoming fashion design exhibitions or runway shows in your area. Surprise your son with tickets to such an event, giving him the opportunity to see firsthand the work of established designers and emerging talents.

10. Set up a fashion design workspace: Dedicate a specific area in your home as your son's fashion design workspace. Outfit it with a comfortable desk, a dress form, cutting tools, and a pin board for inspiration. Having a designated space will provide him with room to create and further foster his passion.

By choosing a Christmas gift focused on fashion design and modeling, you are not only showing support for your son's interests but encouraging him to pursue his dreams and talents. These gifts will not only provide him with the tools he needs but also serve as a constant reminder of your belief in him and his creative abilities.

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.”
