Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys writing and keeping a journal, there are plenty of thoughtful and meaningful gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas:

1. Personalized Leather Journal: A journal with his name or initials engraved on the cover adds a personalized touch. Look for journals made with high-quality paper and a durable leather cover – something that will last for years and become a cherished possession.

2. Writing Accessories: Help enhance his writing experience by gifting him some writing accessories. Consider a set of fine-quality pens or mechanical pencils that will make his writing feel special. Additionally, a beautiful pen holder or a wooden desk organizer can help keep his writing space organized and stylish.

3. Book of Prompts: Inspiring creativity and providing writing prompts can help your son overcome writer's block and encourage exploration in his journal. Look for a book of writing prompts specifically designed for journaling, with a wide variety of topics and ideas to get him started on new writing adventures.

4. Writing Workshop or Course: Consider enrolling him in a creative writing workshop or course where he can meet like-minded individuals and further develop his writing skills. Whether it's an online course or an in-person workshop, this gift will help him nurture his passion and improve his craft.

5. Subscription to a Literary Journal: Introduce your son to the world of literary journals by gifting him a subscription to a well-regarded publication. Subscriptions will not only expose him to various writing styles but also motivate him to keep writing and submit his work in the future.

6. Handcrafted Writing Desk: If you want to go all-out, consider surprising your son with a handcrafted writing desk. Look for one that suits his personal style and has ample storage space for his journals, pens, and other writing supplies. A dedicated writing space can inspire creativity and provide him with a quiet and comfortable environment to retreat to.

7. Writing Retreat or Getaway: Strengthen his writing practice by surprising him with a weekend writing retreat or getaway. Find a scenic location, such as a cabin in the woods or a beachside cottage, where he can have uninterrupted time to focus on his writing and indulge in some much-needed relaxation.

8. Collection of Inspirational Books: If your son enjoys reading, consider curating a collection of books that will inspire his writing journey. Look for classics, contemporary novels, poetry collections, or books on the craft of writing. These books will not only provide him with endless inspiration but also expand his literary horizons.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that aligns with your son's interests and passions. Understanding his love for writing and journaling, any of these gift ideas will surely be appreciated and cherished for years to come.

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

“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.”
