Five Star Gift Ideas

If your friend enjoys sketching, you have a variety of gift options that can help her/him improve her/his art and also make the process more enjoyable. Here are a few ideas:

1. Sketchbook: A good-quality sketchbook is a perfect gift for a sketching enthusiast. You can choose a plain or lined sketchbook depending on your friend's preference. Look for one that is durable, has a high quality paper and is a comfortable size for your friend to carry around.

2. High-Quality Pencils: Pencils are an essential part of sketching. If your friend loves sketching, they might appreciate an upgrade from the regular pencils. Invest in a set of high-quality graphite pencils that differ in hardness and softness to allow for varying line width in sketches.

3. Sketching Set: Consider gifting a complete sketching set comprising of different pencils, charcoals, erasers, sharpeners and other accessories to help enhance your friend's artistic ability.

4. Sketching class: Look for art schools offering sketching classes and give your friend a course as a present. It's a great way to have a structured learning experience and also allows your friend to meet other artists.

5. Sketching accessories: Exclusive sketching accessories such as handcrafted leather pencil holders, mason jar pencil holders, water-soluble graphite and pastel pencils or an artist grade blending stomp can make wonderful gifts.

6. Inspiring sketching books: Engage your friend with a book filled with beautiful, inspiring artwork or an advanced sketching guidebook with techniques to improve her/his skills.

7. Portable Tabletop Easel: A portable tabletop easel serves as an excellent sketching surface for your friend to work on even when travelling or working in a location that doesn't have a proper table.

8. Online resources: You can gift a subscription to online sketching resources, art communities or YouTube channels that offer step-by-step tutorials or other content that may inspire and help in the progress of your friend's artistic caree.

These are just a few ideas for gifts. Ultimately, you can tailor the present according to your friend's preferences, style and skill level. With any of these gifts, you’ll give your friend the encouragement and inspiration needed to keep improving her/his skill in sketching!

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