Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who is passionate about mural painting and street art, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that can enhance his creative pursuits.

1. Art Supplies: Consider gifting your son a high-quality set of paints, brushes, and canvases. Look for vibrant acrylic paints or graffiti markers that can be used for mural painting. Additionally, you could include different paint textures like spray paint or stencils to explore various techniques.

2. Art Books: Encourage your son's artistic inspiration by gifting him books about street art and mural painting. There are numerous publications available that showcase the works of renowned street artists and provide insights into their techniques and creative approach.

3. Mural Workshop: Organize a workshop or art class focused on mural painting for your son. This experience will allow him to learn and network with professional muralists, who can provide guidance and tips on various mural techniques. Attending such a workshop would enhance his skills and provide inspiration for his future artwork.

4. Equipment Upgrade: If your son often paints outdoors or on large-scale projects, consider gifting him specific equipment that would make his artistic process more convenient. For instance, a portable easel or a large interior/exterior paint sprayer could be valuable additions to his art toolkit.

5. Artistic Tour: Surprise your son with a trip to a city known for its vibrant street art scene, such as Berlin, London, or Melbourne. Explore the city together and visit popular street art districts and galleries that showcase impressive murals. This experience will undoubtedly serve as a great source of inspiration and widen his perspective on mural art.

6. Commissioned Mural: Commissioning a mural by a local artist specifically for your son would be an extraordinary and highly personal gift. Collaborate with a skilled street artist to create a mural that reflects your son's interests, passions, or personal experiences. Seeing his own artistic vision brought to life on a larger scale would be both rewarding and encouraging.

7. Digital Drawing Tablet: If your son hasn't experimented with digital drawing yet, consider gifting him a graphics tablet. This versatile tool would allow him to explore new artistic styles and techniques on a digital platform, which could further enhance his skills and broaden his creative possibilities.

Remember to personalize the gifts based on your son's preferences and artistic aspirations. By providing him with the necessary tools, experiences, and resources, you are not only supporting his passion but also helping him develop and grow as an artist.

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.”
