Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys practicing mindfulness and self-care, there are several meaningful and personalized gift ideas that would resonate with his interests.

1. Meditation Cushion: A comfortable and supportive meditation cushion can enhance his mindfulness practice. Look for one with an ergonomic design and made of sustainable materials.

2. Mindfulness Journal: A guided mindfulness journal would allow him to reflect on his thoughts and emotions, helping him strengthen his self-awareness. Choose a journal that incorporates prompts and exercises to encourage mindfulness.

3. Essential Oil Diffuser: A diffuser with calming scents like lavender or eucalyptus can help create a serene atmosphere during his meditation or relaxation sessions. Look for essential oils known for their calming properties.

4. Mindfulness App Subscription: Consider gifting him a subscription to a mindfulness app such as Headspace or Calm. These apps provide guided meditations, breathing exercises, and tools to manage stress and anxiety.

5. Yoga Mat: If he practices yoga alongside mindfulness, a high-quality yoga mat would be a thoughtful gift. Opt for a mat that provides good grip and support, made from eco-friendly materials.

6. Mindfulness Books: Choose books that explore mindfulness and self-care. Some popular titles include "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle, "10% Happier" by Dan Harris, or "The Miracle of Mindfulness" by Thich Nhat Hanh.

7. Nature Retreat: Consider organizing a retreat or weekend getaway in a serene location surrounded by nature. This could provide him with a peaceful and rejuvenating experience to deepen his mindfulness practice.

8. Sound Bath or Meditation Class: Check if there are local sound bath or meditation classes available. Gifting him a pass to attend a workshop or a series of classes can help him explore new techniques and deepen his practice.

9. Mindful Art Supplies: If he enjoys expressing his creativity, consider gifting him art supplies like adult coloring books or a mindfulness coloring set. These activities can be a soothing and meditative outlet.

10. Subscription to a Wellness Magazine: A subscription to a wellness magazine like Mindful or Happiful can be a source of inspiration and provide him with practical tips to nurture his mindfulness practice.

Remember to consider his personal preferences and choose a gift that aligns with his specific mindfulness and self-care interests. The goal is to offer him something that he will cherish and find meaningful on his journey of self-discovery and well-being.

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.”
