Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys writing and sending handwritten letters, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas to consider:

1. Stationery Set: A high-quality stationery set can be a perfect gift for your son. Look for beautifully designed notepads, envelopes, and letterheads that will inspire him to write. Consider selecting a set that reflects his personality or interests, whether it's classic, elegant, or quirky.

2. Fountain Pen: A fountain pen is not only a practical writing tool but also a symbol of elegance and sophistication. Consider gifting your son a well-crafted fountain pen that he can use to enhance his writing experience. Opt for a pen that feels comfortable to hold and has a smooth nib for effortless writing.

3. Calligraphy Starter Kit: If your son has expressed an interest in calligraphy or fancy lettering, a calligraphy starter kit can be an ideal gift. Look for a set that includes different nib sizes, ink, and a guidebook to help him learn and practice this beautiful art form. Encouraging him to explore calligraphy can provide a new dimension to his writing style.

4. Personalized Wax Seal Kit: A wax seal kit can be a unique and charming addition to your son's letter writing routine. Look for a kit that includes a custom-designed stamp with his initials or a symbol that holds special meaning for him. The act of sealing a letter with a personalized wax seal adds a touch of nostalgia and authenticity.

5. Vintage Typewriter: If you're looking for a truly special and nostalgic gift, consider surprising your son with a vintage typewriter. Typewriters not only provide a unique writing experience but also add a decorative element to any space. Look for a model that is in good working condition and has a style that matches your son's preferences.

6. Epistolary Literature: Expand your son's love for writing by introducing him to the world of epistolary literature. Gift him a collection of classic letters or novels told through correspondence, such as "84, Charing Cross Road" by Helene Hanff or "Letters to a Young Poet" by Rainer Maria Rilke. These books will not only entertain but also inspire him to continue cultivating his passion for handwritten communication.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is celebrating and supporting your son's interests. Choose a gift that aligns with his love for writing and letter sending, and it will undoubtedly be a cherished and meaningful present.

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.”
