Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys candle making and crafting scented candles, there are plenty of thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that would align with his interests. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. Candle Making Kit: Enhance his candle-making experience with a high-quality candle making kit. Look for kits that include various molds, different types of wax (such as soy or beeswax), wicks, fragrance oils, and dyes. This would allow him to experiment with different candle designs and scents.

2. Scented Candle Subscription: Treat your son to a subscription service that delivers a variety of scented candles to his doorstep each month. This way, he can explore a wide range of scents and brands, gaining inspiration for his future candle-making projects.

3. Essential Oil Set: Since he enjoys crafting scented candles, consider gifting him a set of high-quality essential oils. These oils can be used to create unique and personal fragrances for his candles, allowing him to experiment with different scent combinations.

4. Candle-Making Handbook: Help him further develop his candle-making skills and knowledge by gifting him a comprehensive guidebook or handbook on the art of candle making. This would provide him with valuable techniques, tips, and inspiration for creating beautiful and fragrant candles.

5. Decorative Candle Holders: Complement his handmade candles with a collection of unique and stylish candle holders. Look for holders that match his personal aesthetic and preferences. For example, if he prefers a rustic style, consider wooden or wrought iron holders. If he enjoys a more modern touch, opt for sleek glass or metallic designs.

6. Candle-Making Workshop: Enroll him in a local candle-making workshop where he can learn from professionals and gain hands-on experience. This not only gives him the opportunity to enhance his skills but also exposes him to new techniques or trends in the craft.

7. Personalized Candle Labels: Customized labels add a personal touch to his candles. Consider ordering a set of labels featuring his own logo or design to showcase his creations. This would make his candles look more professional and add an extra layer of pride to his craft.

8. Aromatherapy Candles: If your son appreciates candles not only for their aesthetics but also for their therapeutic benefits, consider gifting him a set of aromatherapy candles. These candles are made with essential oils known for their calming, energizing, or relaxing properties, contributing to a soothing and aromatic atmosphere.

9. Candle-Making Supplies Organizer: Help him keep his candle-making supplies neat and tidy with a dedicated organizer. Look for a portable storage case or a craft storage container with compartments specifically designed for holding candle wicks, fragrance oils, dyes, and other small tools required in candle making.

Remember, these gift ideas are meant to enhance your son's passion for candle making and allow him to continue exploring his creativity. By showing support for his interests, you can encourage his artistic growth and provide opportunities for him to further develop his 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.”
