Five Star Gift Ideas

Based on your son's love for contemporary art and gallery visits, there are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider for Christmas. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Artwork: Consider gifting him a piece of contemporary artwork from one of his favorite artists or a piece that reflects his taste. Look for limited-edition prints or small sculptures that he can display in his room or workspace. This will not only make a beautiful addition to his collection but also provide him with daily inspiration.

2. Membership to an Art Gallery or Museum: If your son enjoys visiting galleries, consider getting him a membership to a local art gallery or museum. This will allow him to explore new exhibitions and attend exclusive events. Additionally, many memberships offer discounts on workshops, classes, and access to members-only areas.

3. Art Books: As an art enthusiast, your son might enjoy diving deep into the history and theory of contemporary art. Look for books that showcase the works of influential artists or explore different movements within contemporary art. Additionally, coffee table books featuring stunning photographs of contemporary art installations can make for great conversation starters.

4. Art Class or Workshop: If your son is interested in exploring his own artistic skills, consider signing him up for a contemporary art class or workshop. Look for local studios or art centers that offer classes on painting, sculpture, or even digital art. This will give him an opportunity to learn from experienced artists and expand his creative horizons.

5. Art Subscription Box: Subscription boxes have gained popularity in recent years, and there are now several options specifically tailored for art lovers. Look for a subscription box that delivers unique and curated art prints, supplies, or even artist-designed accessories directly to his doorstep every month. This can be a delightful surprise that keeps giving throughout the year.

6. Art-related Experience: Consider gifting your son an experiential gift related to contemporary art. This could be a guided tour of a contemporary art district or a unique art installation. Alternatively, you could plan a weekend getaway to a city known for its vibrant contemporary art scene, allowing him to explore multiple galleries and immerse himself in the art world.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is to show your son that you understand and appreciate his interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with his passion for contemporary art, you are not only giving him a present but also showing support for his hobbies and creative endeavors.

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

“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.”
