Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who has a passion for painting and drawing, there are several thoughtful gift options to support and inspire his creative endeavors. Here are a few ideas:

1. Art Supplies: Expand your son's collection of art supplies by gifting him high-quality materials such as a set of professional-grade paints, brushes, sketchbooks, and various types of paper. This will encourage his artistic growth and experimentation.

2. Art Classes or Workshops: Consider enrolling him in art classes or workshops based on his interests. Look for classes in drawing techniques, painting styles, or even digital art, depending on his preferences. This gift allows him to enhance his skills and learn from experienced instructors.

3. Art Books or Magazines: For inspiration and reference, gift your son with art books featuring the works of his favorite artists or books on different drawing and painting techniques. Art magazines can also provide him with fresh ideas and insights from the art community.

4. Digital Drawing Tablet: If your son has an interest in digital art, consider getting him a drawing tablet. This device allows artists to create digital artwork and explore various digital mediums. Look for a tablet that is compatible with his computer or smartphone.

5. Art Prints: Find prints of paintings or illustrations that align with his interests or favorite artists. Framed prints can be a great addition to his workspace, offering daily inspiration and a visually appealing environment.

6. Art Subscription Box: Gift your son an art subscription box designed for artists. These boxes often contain a selection of art supplies, project ideas, and step-by-step instructions, providing a surprise and creative outlet every month.

7. Museum Membership: Consider buying a membership to a local art museum or gallery. This gift allows your son to further explore various art styles, attend exhibitions, and gain exposure to different artists and their works.

8. Art Portfolio: If your son is interested in showcasing his artwork, a professional art portfolio is a thoughtful gift. This allows him to organize and present his work effectively when applying to art schools, contests, or exhibitions.

9. Easel and Studio Supplies: If your son prefers painting, consider a sturdy easel and studio supplies like paint palettes, a palette knife, and proper lighting. Creating a comfortable and professional workspace can significantly enhance his painting experience.

10. Commissioned Artwork: Surprise your son with a commissioned piece of artwork by one of his favorite artists. This personalized gift will not only inspire him but also serve as a valuable addition to his art collection.

Remember, the most significant part of a gift is the thought behind it. Take into consideration your son's preferences and interests to select a gift that truly resonates with his love for painting and drawing.

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.”
