Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys paint-by-numbers, you can consider various gift ideas that would enhance his passion for painting and provide him with a new level of creativity. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Advanced Paint-by-Numbers Kit: If your son has already tried basic paint-by-numbers kits, you can surprise him with an advanced kit that offers a more intricate and challenging design. Look for kits that include high-quality paints, brushes, and canvases. This will allow him to explore his artistic skills and take his painting to the next level.

2. Artist Quality Paintbrush Set: To further support your son's interest in painting, you could gift him a set of artist-quality paintbrushes. A good set will come with a variety of brush sizes and types to allow for versatility in his artwork. The brushes should have good bristle quality and be suitable for different painting techniques.

3. Art Studio Supplies: Create an art studio atmosphere in your son's room by gifting him with supplies such as a wooden easel, a palette, and paint palettes. This will provide a dedicated space for him to paint comfortably and encourage him to explore other artistic mediums as well.

4. Painting Classes or Workshop: Consider enrolling your son in painting classes or workshops. This can help him develop his skills, learn new techniques, and interact with fellow artists. Look for classes in your local community center or art schools that cater to his age group and focus on painting styles he enjoys.

5. Art Inspiration Books: Gift your son a collection of art books featuring famous paintings, artists' biographies, or even paint-by-number puzzles. These books can serve as inspiration, providing him with ideas for future projects and allowing him to study the techniques of well-known painters.

6. Custom Paint-by-Numbers Kit: Surprise your son with a personalized paint-by-numbers kit that features one of his own photographs or a favorite image he can recreate. Many online services can transform a chosen image into a custom paint-by-numbers kit, making it a truly unique gift.

7. Art Gallery or Museum Visit: Plan a visit to an art gallery or museum specializing in the style of painting your son enjoys. This will not only expose him to different artistic styles but also provide an opportunity for him to gain inspiration and see his passion come to life in a professional setting.

Remember, the most important aspect of a gift is the thought behind it. By selecting a gift that aligns with your son's passion for paint-by-numbers, you are not only encouraging his creativity but also showing your support for his artistic 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.”
