Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is passionate about street art and graffiti writing, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that will surely make his Christmas special. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. Art Supplies: Help your son nurture his artistic skills by gifting him a set of high-quality art supplies such as graffiti paint markers, spray paint cans, sketchbooks, and fine-tip markers. These tools will allow him to create street art pieces with precision and detail.

2. Artwork Prints: Since your son is a fan of street art, consider getting him prints or posters of famous graffiti artists' works that he admires. Look for prints that reflect his favorite style or include pieces from renowned street artists like Banksy, Shepard Fairey, or Jean-Michel Basquiat.

3. Art Books and Magazines: Fuel your son's passion for street art by gifting him books and magazines that showcase the works of renowned street artists or explore the history and techniques associated with graffiti writing. Titles like "The Art of Spray Paint" by Lori Zimmer or "The History of American Graffiti" by Roger Gastman and Caleb Neelon can make for fascinating reads.

4. Street Art Tour or Workshop: Check if there are any street art tours or workshops happening in your area and surprise your son with an experience to explore urban art firsthand. Not only will he get to see street art up close, but he may also have the chance to meet and learn from local street artists.

5. Customized Street Art Piece: Engage a local street artist to create a personalized piece for your son. Collaborate with the artist to incorporate your son's name or any other meaningful elements that hold significance. Whether it's a mural for his room or a smaller canvas piece, a customized street art creation will be a unique and unforgettable gift.

6. Artistic Apparel: Help your son showcase his love for street art with clothing or accessories that feature graffiti-inspired designs. Look for t-shirts, hoodies, or hats with urban art motifs or even collaborate with a local street artist to create a limited edition item.

7. Photography Equipment: If your son has an interest in capturing street art in its natural environment, consider gifting him a camera or photography equipment. A good quality DSLR camera or even a smartphone lens kit can help him document his favorite pieces or start a street photography project.

Remember, the most thoughtful gift will be one that reflects your son's individual spirit and interests. By focusing on his love for street art and graffiti writing, you can ensure that your gift will be meaningful and personal, creating a lasting impact on his artistic journey.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
