Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys screen-printing and graphic design, why not consider a personalized screen-printing kit? This gift would not only allow him to further explore his passion for design but also enable him to create unique and customized pieces.

Here are a few ideas that you can consider:

1. Screen-printing Starter Kit: Look for a comprehensive kit that includes all the essential items he would need to get started. It should contain a screen, squeegee, inks, emulsion, and a rack for drying prints. This kit will provide him with the basic tools to experiment and create his own designs.

2. Customizable Notebooks: Help him showcase his designs by selecting personalized notebooks with blank, high-quality pages. Customizing the cover with some of his best designs will allow him to proudly display his work and provide him with a platform to jot down any new ideas or sketches.

3. Design Software Subscription: Consider purchasing a subscription to a graphic design software that he might not have access to or has been wanting to try. Popular options like Adobe Creative Cloud or CorelDRAW provide a wide range of tools for him to experiment with and enhance his skills further.

4. Art Supplies: Add to his collection of graphic design tools with high-quality art supplies. Consider purchasing specialized markers, pens, or even a tablet stylus if he enjoys digital design. These supplies will help him push the boundaries of his creativity and explore different techniques in his artwork.

5. Art Book or Magazine Subscription: If he enjoys learning more about graphic design and gaining inspiration from others' work, consider getting him a subscription to a design magazine or an art book featuring renowned graphic designers. This will give him access to new trends, techniques, and examples to inspire his own work.

6. Workshop or Classes: If your son is interested in taking his skills to the next level, enroll him in a screen-printing or graphic design workshop. This hands-on experience will allow him to learn new techniques, gain insights from professionals in the field, and network with like-minded individuals.

7. Online Design Courses: If he prefers to learn at his own pace, consider gifting him an online design course or tutorial series. There are numerous platforms available, such as Skillshare or Udemy, offering courses ranging from beginner to advanced levels, covering various graphic design topics.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that aligns with your son's interests and allows him to pursue his passion. By considering these ideas, you can provide him with the tools and resources to further develop his skills and nurture his love for screen-printing and graphic design.

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.”
