Five Star Gift Ideas

I totally understand how important it is to find a Christmas gift that aligns with your son's interests. Since he enjoys building model kits, I have a few gift ideas in mind that I think he will love.

1. Advanced Model Kit: If your son is experienced with building model kits, consider getting him an advanced kit that will challenge his skills and provide hours of enjoyment. Look for models that feature intricate details and multiple parts, like a highly detailed sports car or a complex military aircraft. This will not only keep him engaged but also enhance his building abilities.

2. Subscription to a Model Kit Service: There are several subscription services available specifically for model enthusiasts. These services deliver a new model kit every month, providing your son with a constant supply of building projects. Not only will he be thrilled to receive a new kit regularly, but it will expose him to a wide variety of models and styles.

3. Tools and Accessories: Building models requires specific tools and accessories to ensure precision and quality. Consider getting your son a set of professional-grade modeling tools such as tweezers, precision knives, sanding blocks, and paintbrushes. Additionally, you can include a set of high-quality paints, adhesives, and decals to enhance his model-building experience.

4. Workshop Upgrade: If your son already has a dedicated space for building models, consider upgrading his workshop. You could add a magnifying lamp to improve visibility or shelves to organize his model kits. Additionally, a comfortable and ergonomic chair will make his hours of building more enjoyable. These small improvements can make a big difference in his building experience.

5. Model Display Case: Once your son completes his models, he will want to display them with pride. A model display case will not only protect his finished models from dust and damage but also showcase his hard work. Look for a display case that has adjustable shelves, UV protection, and adequate space to accommodate various model sizes.

6. Modelling Magazine Subscription: A subscription to a modeling magazine can be a great source of inspiration and valuable tips for your son. These magazines feature step-by-step tutorials, reviews of new model kits, and interviews with skilled model builders. It will keep him updated on the latest trends, techniques, and news in the modeling community.

Remember, the most important thing is to support your son's passion for building model kits. By choosing a thoughtful gift that caters to his interests, you are not only showing your love and support but also encouraging his creative and technical skills.

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.”
