Five Star Gift Ideas

For your wife who enjoys sketchnoting and visual notetaking, I have a few thoughtful gift ideas that could further enhance her passion for this creative activity.

1. Quality Sketchbook: A high-quality sketchbook with thick, acid-free paper would make an excellent gift. Look for one that has a hardcover or a sturdy binding, allowing her to freely sketch and take visual notes without worrying about the pages tearing or falling apart.

2. Drawing Pens: Sketching pens are essential tools for sketchnoting, so consider gifting her a set of fine-tip drawing pens in various sizes. Look for pens that have waterproof and fade-resistant ink. This way, her art will last longer and won't smudge if she decides to add watercolor or markers to her sketches.

3. Watercolor Paint Set: Adding a touch of color to her sketchnotes can make them more vibrant and visually appealing. A portable watercolor paint set would be a great addition to her creative toolkit. Look for a compact set with a range of colors and a waterbrush, which is convenient for on-the-go artistic endeavors.

4. Sketchnoting Course or Workshop: If she hasn't already, consider enrolling her in a sketchnoting course or a workshop. It could be an online course or a local class led by an experienced sketchnoter. Learning new techniques, tips, and tricks from a professional will not only enhance her skills but also provide her with a community of fellow artists to connect with.

5. Inspiring Books or Magazines: Fuel her creativity with inspiring books or magazines on sketchnoting, visual thinking, or even art journaling. Look for titles that showcase different styles, techniques, and examples of sketchnotes from notable sketchnoters. These books can serve as valuable sources of inspiration and help her grow as an artist.

6. Customized Art Supplies: Consider getting her personalized art supplies, such as customized sketchbooks or pens with her name or a special message engraved on them. There are online platforms that offer custom printing and engraving services, allowing you to add a personal touch to her artistic tools.

7. Artistic Planner or Journal: If your wife is also fond of planning and organizing, consider gifting her an artistic planner or journal. Look for a planner that combines functionality with space for her to incorporate sketchnotes and doodles. This way, she can enhance her planning process while expressing her creativity.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows you've put thought into what she loves and supports her interests. By considering her passion for sketchnoting and visual notetaking, you can choose a meaningful gift that will make her artistic journey even more enjoyable and satisfying.

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

Mandy Shepherd says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I ordered my wife a star map for Valentine's day and it was lost in the mail , I emailed under the lucky star and they immediately took care of and I received it a few days later exactly the way I ordered it... totally recommend”
