Five Star Gift Ideas

For your wife who loves painting and watercoloring, I have some meaningful and personal gift ideas that I think she will adore. These gift suggestions will not only enhance her artistic practice but also show your understanding and support for her passion:

1. High-Quality Watercolor Set: Invest in a professional watercolor set that includes a wide range of vibrant colors and high-quality pigments. Look for sets that offer a variety of hues and shades, as well as different brush sizes. This will allow your wife to experiment with different techniques and bring her artwork to life.

2. Watercolor Paper: Good quality watercolor paper is essential for achieving desired results in watercolor painting. Consider getting her a set of top-notch watercolor paper pads or blocks. Opt for different sizes and textures, such as hot-pressed or cold-pressed, to cater to her preferences and enable her to explore different styles.

3. Paintbrush Set: A set of professional paintbrushes specifically designed for watercolor painting can be a thoughtful gift. Look for brushes that are made with natural or synthetic fibers and have different brush shapes and sizes. This will give your wife a range of options to experiment with different strokes and textures.

4. Art Magazine Subscription: Subscribe your wife to a reputable art magazine or a watercolor-focused publication. This will provide her with a regular dose of inspiration, new techniques, and feature artists to admire. It's a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year and helps her stay connected to the art community.

5. Workshop or Class: Enroll your wife in a watercolor painting workshop or class. Look for reputable art schools or local community centers that offer courses taught by experienced watercolor artists. This experience will not only enhance her skills but also provide her with the opportunity to meet other artists and expand her artistic network.

6. Art Studio Supplies: Create a personalized gift box filled with various art studio supplies. Include items like a palette, watercolor brushes, a watercolor sketchbook, masking fluid, watercolor pencils, and other artistic accessories. This gift will show your attentiveness to her interests and provide her with a well-rounded selection of tools to use in her artwork.

7. Painting Trip: Plan a weekend getaway to a picturesque location known for its natural beauty. This could be a charming coastal town, a peaceful countryside retreat, or a mountainous landscape. Combine it with a watercolor workshop or just reserve time for her to paint and indulge in her artistic passion surrounded by inspiration.

Remember, the most meaningful gift you can offer is your support and encouragement. Accompany any material gift with a heartfelt card or letter expressing your love for her artistry. Let her know how much you appreciate her creativity and talent, and remind her that you will always be her biggest fan and supporter.

Or you can get her a star map with the date of your first kiss.

David Dickason says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“Ordered a map of the stars above us when my wife and I realized that we wanted a friendship to turn into something more - gave it to her yesterday (Valentine's Day) and got a most enthusiastic response. We are best pleased!”
