Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys painting murals, I have some thoughtful and inspiring gift ideas that will cater to his passion and encourage his artistic aspirations.

1. Artist Quality Paint Set: To support his mural painting hobby, a high-quality paint set could be the perfect gift. Look for a set that includes a variety of colors and different types of paints, such as acrylic or spray paints. This will allow him to experiment with different techniques and create stunning murals with ease.

2. Canvases or Mural Supplies: Consider gifting your son a set of canvases or mural supplies, such as large-scale paintbrushes, rollers, and stencils. These tools will help him create larger and more detailed works of art for his murals. You can even provide him with a blank outdoor wall or fence where he can transform an ordinary space into something extraordinary.

3. Art Instruction Books and Online Courses: Help your son enhance his mural painting skills with instructional books or online courses. Look for resources that focus specifically on murals, teaching techniques, concepts, and offering inspiration. Such materials will further inspire his creativity and expand his knowledge in the field.

4. Artist Easel and Studio Set-Up: A sturdy and adjustable artist easel is an excellent gift that will provide a comfortable workspace for your son while painting murals. You can accompany it with a studio set-up that includes an assortment of palettes, paintbrush holders, and storage organizers to keep his materials neat and organized.

5. Photography Equipment: Another thoughtful gift idea is photography equipment to aid in capturing and documenting his murals. A good camera or even a smartphone gimbal stabilizer can help him take high-quality images of his artwork and showcase them on his portfolio or social media platforms.

6. Street Art Walk or Workshop: Organize a street art walk or book a workshop for your son to learn about mural painting firsthand. This interactive experience will expose him to different styles, techniques, and street art culture, allowing him to further develop his own artistic identity.

7. Commissioned Wall Project: Surprise your son by commissioning him to paint a mural for a community or business space. This opportunity will not only boost his self-confidence as an artist but also provide him with a real-life project that showcases his talent. It can become a significant stepping stone to future mural commissions.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows you support and acknowledge your son's passion. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests and encourages his artistic growth, you will not only provide him with a meaningful present but also nurture his artistic journey as he continues to create beautiful murals.

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.”
