Five Star Gift Ideas

For your wife who has a passion for sketching and painting landscapes, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that she would surely appreciate. Here are a few suggestions:

1. High-quality Art Supplies: To support her artistic endeavors, consider gifting her a set of professional-grade art supplies. Look for a selection of sketching pencils, watercolor paints, brushes, and a sketchpad or watercolor paper. This would enable her to continue exploring her passion and enhance the quality of her artwork.

2. Art Classes or Workshops: Another wonderful gift is the opportunity for your wife to refine her skills and learn new techniques. Look for local art studios or workshops that offer classes specifically focused on landscape sketching and painting. Not only will she have the chance to learn from experienced instructors, but she'll also be able to connect with other artists who share her passion.

3. Outdoor Sketching Kit: If your wife enjoys sketching landscapes on location, consider putting together a personalized outdoor sketching kit. Include items such as a portable easel, a lightweight folding stool, a set of outdoor-friendly sketching pencils, a watercolor travel set, and a sketchbook specifically designed for outdoor use. This thoughtful gift will encourage her to further explore her favorite subject in nature's own backdrop.

4. Inspiring Art Books: Look for books featuring the works of renowned landscape artists, or books that provide tips and inspiration for aspiring landscape painters. There is a wide range of options available, from instructional guides to coffee table books showcasing beautiful landscapes. These books can serve as a source of inspiration and a reference for your wife's artwork.

5. Customized Art Print: Consider turning one of your wife's own sketches or paintings into a high-quality art print. There are various online services that can help you transform her artwork into a framed print or a canvas. This personalized gift would not only showcase her talent but also serve as a constant reminder of your support for her artistic pursuits.

6. Artistic Getaway: Plan a special trip to a scenic location that would offer plenty of inspiration for her artwork. Choose a destination known for its beautiful landscapes, such as a national park, a coastal town, or a countryside retreat. It could be a weekend getaway or a longer vacation, depending on your preferences. This gift would provide her with the opportunity to immerse herself in nature and capture her surroundings firsthand.

Remember, the most important aspect of choosing a gift for your wife is the thought behind it. By selecting a gift that aligns with her passion for sketching and painting landscapes, you are demonstrating your support for her artistic endeavors and showing her how much you value her interests.

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!”
