Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys writing and sending letters or postcards, I have a few meaningful and personalized gift ideas that I'm sure he would love.

1. Stationery Set: A high-quality stationery set can inspire and enhance his writing experience. Look for a set that includes different sizes of letter paper, envelopes, and matching stickers or seals. You can also opt for personalized stationery with his name or initials engraved or printed on them.

2. Vintage or Unique Postcards: Since he enjoys sending postcards, consider getting him a collection of vintage or unique postcards. Look for ones with beautiful landscapes, illustrations, or unique designs that align with his interests. These can not only be used as postcards but also serve as inspiration for his own writing.

3. Calligraphy Set: If he has an interest in improving his handwriting or trying out calligraphy, a calligraphy set would be a great gift. It can include different types of nibs, ink bottles, practice sheets, and an instructional guide. This gift will provide him with the tools to explore a new writing skill and add an artistic touch to his letters.

4. Personalized Wax Seal Kit: For a touch of old-world charm, consider gifting him a personalized wax seal kit. This will allow him to add a unique and personalized seal to his letters. You can get a seal engraved with his initials, monogram, or a symbol that holds significance to him, making each letter feel even more special.

5. Writing Workshops or Classes: If he has a deep passion for writing, consider enrolling him in a writing workshop or class. Look for ones that align with his interests, such as creative writing, letter writing, or even calligraphy classes. This gift will not only improve his skills but also provide him with an opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals.

6. Subscription to a Letter-Writing Service: If he enjoys receiving letters as much as he enjoys sending them, consider subscribing him to a letter-writing service. There are various services available that send handwritten letters from different individuals around the world. This can be a unique and delightful surprise for him, receiving personal letters from people he doesn't know.

7. Customized Postal Kit: To make his letter-sending experience more organized and personalized, create a customized postal kit for him. Include postage stamps with designs that align with his interests, colorful and unique pens, beautiful envelopes, stickers, and other embellishments. You can present these items in a personalized box or pouch that he can easily carry wherever he goes.

Remember, the most important factor in choosing a gift is considering his specific interests and preferences. By selecting a gift that aligns with his love for writing and sending letters or postcards, you'll be showing him that you genuinely understand and support his passions.

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.”
