Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves writing and maintaining a personal blog, there are several gift options that can encourage and support his passion. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Quality Writing Tools: Every writer appreciates high-quality pens or notebooks. Consider gifting him a set of premium pens such as the Pilot Metropolitan or a collection of colorful gel pens for added creativity. Alternatively, a customized or leather-bound journal can make for a personal and treasured gift.

2. Writing Prompts or Journaling Books: Help stimulate his creativity and self-expression with a book of writing prompts or a guided journal. There are plenty of options available, from specific themes like travel or gratitude to general prompts that can spark his imagination.

3. Skill-building Resources: If he is interested in improving his writing, consider gifting him some books on writing techniques or joining a writing workshop or online course. Resources like "On Writing" by Stephen King or "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott are highly recommended for aspiring writers.

4. Blogging Accessories: Help him take his blog to the next level with some accessories. A stylish laptop bag or a portable laptop stand can enhance his writing experience. Additionally, an external hard drive could be useful for backing up his blog content and photos.

5. Professional Editing Services: Consider gifting him a few sessions with a professional editor. This will help him refine and improve his writing skills and enhance the overall quality of his blog posts.

6. Subscription to Writing Magazines or Blogging Platforms: A subscription to writing magazines like "Writer's Digest" or a membership to blogging platforms like Medium can provide him with inspiration, industry insights, and networking opportunities with other writers.

7. Customized Stationery: Personalize his writing experience with customized stationery that features his blog's logo or his name. From notepads to sticky notes, having his own branded stationery will give him a professional touch and make his writing sessions even more enjoyable.

8. Time Management Tools: Offer him a planner or a productivity app that will help him stay organized and manage his writing goals effectively. Tools like Trello, Evernote, or a bullet journal can assist him in scheduling posts, outlining ideas, and tracking his progress.

9. Inspiring Books: Gift him books written by his favorite authors or books that are known for their beautiful writing. Sometimes, reading the works of others can spark new ideas and motivate a writer to explore different styles and techniques.

10. Encouraging Words and Support: Lastly, a heartfelt note acknowledging his passion for writing and expressing your belief in his abilities can be the most meaningful gift of all. Let him know that you support his journey as a writer and that you are proud of his dedication to his blog.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows you understand and support his interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with his love for writing and blogging, you're not only making him happy but also encouraging him to keep pursuing 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.”
