Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son, who is passionate about writing graffiti, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that will not only support his hobby but also encourage his creativity. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Graffiti Art Supplies: Gift your son a set of high-quality graffiti art supplies, including spray paints, markers, and paint pens. Look for brands that are specifically designed for street art. This gift will provide him with the tools he needs to continue honing his graffiti skills.

2. Sketchbook or Graffiti Journal: Consider a cool sketchbook or graffiti journal where your son can sketch out his design ideas or document his creative process. Look for one with heavy-duty paper that can withstand different mediums and techniques.

3. Books on Graffiti Art: Find books that explore the history and techniques of graffiti art. Some popular titles include "The History of American Graffiti" by Roger Gastman and Caleb Neelon or "Graffiti World: Street Art from Five Continents" by Nicholas Ganz. These books will inspire your son, expose him to different styles, and provide a deeper understanding of the art form.

4. Workshop or Class: Look for graffiti workshops or art classes in your area where your son can learn from experienced graffiti artists. This practical experience will not only enhance his skills but also introduce him to a community of like-minded individuals. checking online platforms or local community centers for these opportunities would be a good start.

5. Outdoor Wall or Mural Space: If you have access to an outdoor wall or are part of a community that supports street art, consider providing your son with a space where he can legally express his graffiti art. This gift will not only give him a platform for his art but also demonstrate your support for his passion.

6. Customized Clothing or Accessories: Look for companies or artists who specialize in graffiti-inspired designs and create a custom hoodie, t-shirt, or accessories like hats or bags for your son. This personalized gift will allow him to showcase his love for graffiti art wherever he goes.

7. Photography or Stencil-Cutting Tools: Another aspect of graffiti art is the ability to capture and reproduce designs. Consider giving your son a high-quality camera or photography equipment so he can document his work or create stencils. Alternatively, stencil-cutting tools will allow him to create intricate designs and experiment with layering techniques.

Remember, the most important aspect of this gift is to show your support and encouragement for your son's passion for graffiti art. By providing him with the tools and resources he needs to pursue his hobby, you are not only affirming his artistic abilities but also fostering his creativity and personal growth.

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.”
