Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys art history, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider for him. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Books: Look for books that delve into different periods of art history, explore specific artists, or provide an overview of the subject. You can opt for academic books that provide in-depth analysis or beautifully illustrated coffee table books that showcase famous artworks.

2. Museum Memberships: Consider getting your son a membership to a local museum or art institution. This will not only allow him to explore various art exhibitions and collections, but also provide access to special events and lectures related to art history.

3. Art Prints: Find high-quality art prints of famous artworks that reflect your son's favorite art movements or artists. You can frame them and create a mini art gallery wall in his room or workspace, providing daily inspiration.

4. Art History Courses or Workshops: Enroll your son in an art history course or workshop, either in person or online. This will allow him to deepen his knowledge and interact with other enthusiasts who share his passion for art history.

5. Art Supplies: If your son enjoys creating art as well, consider gifting him a set of art supplies that include pencils, paints, canvases, and brushes. Encourage his artistic endeavors by providing the tools he needs to explore his own creativity.

6. Documentary DVDs: Look for well-regarded documentary films on art history, featuring insights into the lives and works of renowned artists. These DVDs can be highly educational and provide a visual experience, which will enhance your son's understanding and appreciation of art history.

7. Subscription to Art Magazines: Consider subscribing your son to an art magazine or journal that focuses on art history or contemporary art. This will keep him updated with the latest trends, exhibitions, and scholarly articles in the field.

8. Art Museum Travel: Plan a visit to a notable art museum or gallery together. Whether it's a local visit or a destination further afield, exploring art in person can be an enriching and immersive experience for your son.

Remember, the key to finding a meaningful gift is to understand your son's specific interests within art history. Pay attention to the artists or art movements he admires, and tailor your gift accordingly. By acknowledging and supporting his passion for art history, you are not only providing a thoughtful gift but also nurturing his intellectual and creative growth.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
