Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys volunteering at a local museum or art gallery, there are several gift options that can celebrate his passion and support his interests.

1. Membership to a museum or art gallery: Consider gifting him a year-long membership to his favorite local museum or art gallery. This will allow him to visit whenever he wants and may also grant him exclusive benefits such as discounted tickets to special exhibitions, free entry to member-only events, and access to behind-the-scenes activities.

2. Art book or catalog: Look for a high-quality art book or exhibition catalog featuring the works of renowned artists or a specific exhibition he enjoyed. This will not only enhance his knowledge and understanding of art but also serve as a visual reference and source of inspiration.

3. Art classes or workshops: Support your son's interest in art by enrolling him in art classes or workshops, allowing him to further develop his skills and explore different artistic techniques. Look for classes offered by local artists or art schools that align with his areas of interest, whether it be painting, sculpture, or photography.

4. Volunteer opportunity subscription: Help your son discover new volunteering opportunities by gifting him a subscription to a service that connects individuals with local community organizations. These platforms match volunteers with various causes and projects based on their interests, allowing him to continue his passion for volunteering beyond the museum or art gallery.

5. Artist-inspired merchandise: Many museums and art galleries have gift shops that offer unique and artist-inspired merchandise. Consider purchasing items such as art prints, posters, postcards, or even wearable art such as T-shirts or tote bags featuring the works of his favorite artists or exhibitions. This way, he can showcase his love for art even in his everyday life.

6. Art supplies: If your son enjoys creating his own art, consider gifting him a set of high-quality art supplies. Choose materials that align with his preferred medium, whether it be paints, charcoals, pencils, or brushes. This will encourage his artistic exploration and provide him with the tools he needs to express his creativity.

7. Donation in his name: Show your son's commitment to volunteering and giving back by making a donation in his name to a relevant art-related cause or organization. This can include organizations that provide art education to underprivileged communities, support emerging artists, or preserve art and cultural heritage. Research local opportunities and choose a cause that resonates with your son's values.

Remember, the most meaningful gifts are often those that align with your loved one's passions and interests, so personalized options like these will demonstrate your thoughtfulness and appreciation for his dedication to volunteering at the museum or art gallery.

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.”
