Five Star Gift Ideas

For a grandma who enjoys doodling and sketchnoting, there are several thoughtful and personal gift ideas that can enhance her artistic pursuits and bring joy to her creative process. Here are some suggestions:

1. Premium sketchbook: Invest in a high-quality sketchbook featuring thick, acid-free paper that can handle different mediums like pens, markers, and watercolors. Choose a size that suits her preference, and perhaps consider a hardcover option for durability.

2. Set of fine-quality drawing pencils: Look for a set that includes a range of graphite pencils with different hardness levels, from soft for shading to hard for crisp lines. This will allow your grandma to experiment with various techniques and achieve different effects in her sketches.

3. Watercolor brush set: If your grandma enjoys adding color to her artwork, a set of watercolor brushes would be a fantastic addition to her collection. Look for brushes of different sizes to provide her with versatility in creating beautiful and vibrant sketches.

4. Portable sketching supplies: Help your grandma take her art on the go by putting together a travel set of sketching essentials. This can include a compact sketchbook, a set of portable watercolor pans or brush pens, along with a small set of drawing pencils and erasers. Consider a stylish and practical case to keep everything organized.

5. Doodling books and activity kits: There are plenty of doodling books and activity kits available that can provide inspiration and creative prompts for your grandma. Look for books that focus on specific themes such as nature, animals, or patterns. These books often contain step-by-step instructions and exercises to help her enhance her drawing skills and spark her imagination.

6. Online art classes or workshops: Consider gifting your grandma an online art class or subscription to a platform that offers a variety of art courses. This will allow her to develop her sketchnoting skills further and explore new techniques from the comfort of her home.

7. Personalized art supplies: Add a special touch by personalizing some of her art supplies. For example, you could get her pencils or sketchbooks engraved with her name or a meaningful message. Such personalized items will show your thoughtfulness and make her feel extra special.

Remember, beyond the gift itself, spending quality time together engaging in her hobby can be a priceless experience. Share an afternoon of doodling and sketching with your grandma, exchanging artistic ideas and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

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