Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves urban exploration and graffiti/art hunting, I have a few gift ideas that he will truly appreciate and enjoy.

1. Photography Gear: To capture the stunning visuals of his urban explorations and graffiti hunts, consider getting him a high-quality camera or accessories. Look for a DSLR or mirrorless camera that can capture detailed and vibrant images. Additionally, a sturdy tripod, extra lenses, and memory cards would be great additions to his photography gear.

2. Graffiti/Art Books: Help your son expand his knowledge and inspiration by gifting him books focused on urban art, graffiti, and street culture. Look for coffee table books that showcase the work of famous street artists from around the world. These books not only provide visual inspiration but also offer insights into the artists' creative processes and the history of their art.

3. Art Supplies: Encourage your son's creativity by providing him with art supplies to express himself. Consider getting him a quality set of spray paints, acrylic or graffiti markers, sketchbooks, and other art materials he can use to create his own urban art pieces. These supplies will allow him to experiment with different techniques and develop his style further.

4. GoPro: If your son enjoys documenting his explorations with videos, a GoPro camera is an excellent gift. Its compact size, durability, and ability to capture high-quality footage make it ideal for capturing his urban adventures. Additionally, the camera's wide-angle lens will allow him to capture the full essence of the graffiti and the surrounding environment.

5. Membership to Art Museums/Galleries: Consider purchasing a membership or pass to local art museums or galleries for your son. This will provide him with opportunities to discover new artists, exhibitions, and styles that he can draw inspiration from. Additionally, he might even get a chance to participate in graffiti or street art workshops or meet renowned artists during special events.

6. Urban Exploration Trip: Plan an urban exploration trip with your son to a city known for its vibrant graffiti and street art scene. Not only will this be a memorable experience for him, but it will also provide him with endless opportunities to discover new artworks, explore hidden gems, and connect with the local street art community. Research the best cities for urban art and plan an itinerary based on the top-rated graffiti spots.

Remember, the most meaningful gift will be one that supports his passion for urban exploration and graffiti/art hunting. By considering his interests and providing him with tools, inspiration, and experiences related to his hobbies, you are encouraging his creativity and helping him nurture his artistic skills further.

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.”
