Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a keen interest in visiting art galleries and attending art exhibits, there are several meaningful gift options that can enhance his experience and enrich his artistic journey.

1. Art gallery membership: Consider gifting your son a year-long membership to a local art gallery or museum. This will not only give him unlimited access to exhibitions but also provide additional benefits such as exclusive events, special previews, and discounts on workshops or classes.

2. Art class or workshop: Help nurture your son's artistic talent by enrolling him in a specialized art class or workshop. Look for classes that align with his interests or focus on a specific art technique or style that he enjoys. This hands-on experience will allow him to learn from professionals, further develop his skills, and meet like-minded individuals.

3. Art books or magazines: Expand your son's art knowledge and inspire his creative thinking by gifting him art books or magazines. Look for publications that showcase a variety of artists, art movements, or specific subjects that interest him. This will provide him with a wealth of visual references and expose him to different artistic perspectives.

4. Art materials and supplies: Every aspiring artist needs quality art materials to bring their ideas to life. Consider gifting your son a set of high-quality paints, brushes, canvas, or sketchbooks. You can also explore other mediums or tools that he hasn't tried before, such as charcoal, pastels, or digital art accessories if he shows an interest in that.

5. Art-inspired travel or experience: If your son enjoys art from different cultures or time periods, consider planning a trip to a destination known for its art scene. Whether it's exploring the museums of Paris, visiting ancient ruins with intricate art in Italy, or immersing in contemporary art in New York City, this experience will not only indulge his passion but also create lasting memories.

6. Art-related subscription box: Surprise your son with a monthly subscription box tailored to his artistic interests. These boxes often include art supplies, exclusive prints, artistic challenges, and other creative goodies. It will give him something to look forward to and inspire him throughout the year.

7. Customized art print or commission: Consider commissioning a custom art piece or getting a personalized art print made for your son. You can collaborate with a local artist or find one online who resonates with his style or subject preferences. This unique and heartfelt gift will serve as a constant reminder of your support for his passion.

Remember, the key is to align your gift with your son's specific interests within the art world. By choosing something that enhances his experiences and encourages his artistic journey, you'll be showing your understanding and appreciation for his passion.

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.”
