Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys playing an instrument, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas you can consider.

1. Sheet Music: Purchase or compile a book of sheet music of his favorite songs or pieces he has been wanting to learn. It can be a collection of songs from his favorite band or songs from different genres he enjoys.

2. Music Lessons: Invest in a set of music lessons with a professional instructor specializing in his chosen instrument. This will not only enhance his skills but also provide him with valuable guidance and inspiration.

3. Instrument Accessories: Consider getting him some high-quality accessories for his instrument. For a guitarist, you could get him a new set of strings, a personalized guitar strap, or a pedalboard for his effects pedals. For a pianist, consider a keyboard cover to protect his instrument or a music stand to hold his sheet music.

4. Recording Equipment: If your son has shown interest in recording or producing music, consider getting him some basic recording equipment such as a USB audio interface, studio monitor headphones, or a microphone. This will encourage him to experiment with recording his own compositions or covers.

5. Concert Tickets: Find out if his favorite band or musician is performing nearby and surprise him with tickets to the concert. Attending a live performance can be a memorable experience that will fuel his passion for music.

6. Music-related Merchandise: Browse online or visit a local music store to find merchandise related to his favorite instrument or musical artists. This could include t-shirts, posters, mugs, or even custom-made accessories featuring his favorite instrument.

7. Music Retailer Gift Card: If you're unsure about which specific item to choose, a gift card to a music retailer will give him the freedom to select whatever he needs or desires related to his instrument. This allows him to explore different options and make a choice that best suits his preferences.

8. Instrument Maintenance: Show your support for his musical endeavors by arranging for his instrument to be professionally cleaned, serviced, or repaired. This will help keep the instrument in optimal playing condition and demonstrate your commitment to his passion.

Remember, the best gift is one that reflects your son's individual taste and interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with his love for playing an instrument, you are not only showing your support but also nurturing his musical journey.

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.”
