Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves painting or watercoloring, there are plenty of thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that will further fuel his passion and creativity. Here are a few suggestions:

1. High-quality art supplies: Gift him a set of professional-grade paints, brushes, and watercolor paper. Investing in good quality supplies will enhance his painting experience and help him achieve better results.

2. Watercolor sketchbook: Get him a dedicated sketchbook specifically designed for watercoloring. These sketchbooks are sturdy, portable, and have special paper that can handle watercolors without bleeding through.

3. Art classes or workshops: Enroll him in an art class or workshop where he can learn new techniques and perfect his skills. Look for in-person or virtual classes taught by experienced artists who specialize in watercoloring.

4. Art subscription box: Consider subscribing him to a monthly art supply subscription box. These boxes typically contain a variety of art materials, including watercolor paints, brushes, and other tools, along with inspiring prompts or tutorials to get his creative juices flowing.

5. Art books or instructional DVDs: Give him art books or DVDs that focus specifically on watercolor techniques and provide step-by-step guidance. Look for titles from renowned watercolor artists or instructional resources that cover a wide range of styles and subjects.

6. Fine art prints or posters: Consider getting him a beautiful print or poster of artwork from his favorite watercolorist or a famous painter. This will not only inspire him but also add aesthetic value to his workspace or room.

7. Easel or art storage organizer: A portable easel or an art storage organizer would be a practical gift for your son. It will provide him with a designated space to work on his paintings and keep his supplies organized.

8. Art magazine or subscription: Subscribe him to an art magazine that features tips, trends, and interviews with professional artists. This will expose him to a variety of art styles and keep him updated with the latest techniques and innovations in watercoloring.

9. Customized art portfolio or carrying case: Help him showcase his artwork by gifting him a personalized art portfolio or a professional carrying case to protect his paintings while on the go.

10. Gallery visit or art event: Plan a day out to visit an art gallery or attend an art event in your area. This immersive experience will expose him to different artistic styles and inspire him with new ideas.

Remember, the most important aspect of choosing a gift is to show your son that you support and value his passion for painting. By selecting a gift that complements his artistic interests, you're not only encouraging his creativity but also giving him the opportunity to explore 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.”
