Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves painting and art therapy, there are a range of thoughtful and meaningful gifts that you can consider. Here are a few ideas:

1. High-quality art supplies: Since your son enjoys painting, gifting him a set of high-quality art supplies would be an excellent choice. Consider getting him a set of professional-grade paints, brushes, canvases, or sketchbooks. This would allow him to explore his creativity to the fullest and elevate his artistic skills.

2. Art therapy books or guides: You can also consider gifting your son books or guides on art therapy. These can provide him with inspiration for different therapeutic techniques and exercises. Look for titles that focus on the healing aspects of art and provide practical exercises or prompts. These books can help him further explore and utilize art for self-expression and personal growth.

3. Art classes or workshops: If you want to take your son's passion for painting and art therapy to the next level, consider giving him the opportunity to attend art classes or workshops. Look for local art studios or community centers that offer art therapy classes or courses. This could provide him with the chance to learn new techniques, connect with other artists, and deepen his understanding of art as a therapeutic tool.

4. Art therapy coloring books or journals: Another idea could be to gift your son art therapy coloring books or journals. These often contain intricate designs and patterns that can help with relaxation and stress reduction. Additionally, art therapy journals often include prompts or exercises aimed at fostering self-reflection and personal growth through artistic expression. These books can be combined with a set of colored pencils or markers for a complete gift.

5. Personalized art kit: To make the gift even more special, consider putting together a personalized art kit for your son. Fill a sturdy and attractive art supply bag or box with his favorite paints, brushes, pencils, and any other materials he enjoys using. You can also add some personalized touches, like a custom sketchbook with his name on it or personalized art labels with his signature.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your support for your son's passion and provide him with tools and resources to further explore his artistic abilities. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interest in painting and art therapy, you are not only encouraging his creative journey but also acknowledging his unique and personal interests.

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.”
