Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys writing a book, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that can encourage and support his passion. Here are some suggestions to consider:

1. Writing Journal: A high-quality, leather-bound or beautiful hardcover journal can inspire your son to jot down his ideas, thoughts, and stories. Select a journal that reflects his personality or interests, such as one with his favorite book cover on the front or personalized with his name.

2. Writing Prompts Book: To spark your son's creativity and provide him with new ideas, consider gifting him a book of writing prompts. These books provide interesting and thought-provoking prompts that can help him overcome writer's block or explore different genres and styles.

3. Writing Course or Workshop: Enrolling your son in a writing course or workshop can offer him an opportunity to refine his skills, learn new techniques, and receive feedback from experienced writers. Look for local classes or online options that cater to his specific interests, like fiction writing, storytelling, or character development.

4. Writing Software or Tools: There are numerous digital tools available that can enhance the writing process. Consider gifting your son with a subscription to a writing software like Scrivener or a grammar-checking tool like Grammarly. Additionally, a comfortable and ergonomic keyboard can make the writing experience more enjoyable.

5. Bookstore or Library Gift Card: To expand your son's literary collection, a gift card to his favorite bookstore or local library would be a great choice. This gives him the freedom to choose the books he wants to read or use as references for his own writing.

6. Bookbinding Kit: If your son is interested in self-publishing or wants to create a physical copy of his work, a bookbinding kit can be a unique and hands-on gift. This kit would include materials and instructions for him to bind his writings into his personalized book.

7. Literary Merchandise: Consider getting your son merchandise related to his favorite books or authors. This could include a t-shirt with a quote from his favorite writer, a poster featuring a book cover he loves, or a mug with a literary reference. Such items can serve as inspiration and show his love for writing.

8. Personalized Stationery: Help your son make a lasting impression with personalized stationery. Having his own professional-looking note cards or letterheads can make him feel more confident when submitting his work or corresponding with publishers and fellow writers.

Remember, the key to finding the perfect gift for your son is to understand and support his passion for writing. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests, you can foster his creativity and provide him with the tools and inspiration he needs to pursue his writing dreams.

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.”
