For your son who has a passion for interior design of small spaces, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that can inspire and further enhance his interest:

1. Books on Small Space Interior Design: Look for books that specifically cater to small space design, providing practical tips and creative solutions for optimizing limited spaces. "The Big Book of Small Spaces" by Space10 and "Small Space Style" by Whitney Leigh Morris are excellent choices.

2. Furniture Design Magazines: Subscribe your son to magazines that focus on furniture design and interior spaces. This will keep him updated with the latest trends, innovations, and concepts within his area of interest. Elle Décor, Dwell, and Interior Design are popular choices in this category.

3. Online Interior Design Courses: Consider enrolling your son in an online course or workshop that focuses on small space interior design. This practical experience will allow him to deepen his skills, learn new techniques and concepts, and provide him with a platform to network with other aspiring designers.

4. Interior Design Tools and Supplies: Gift your son with a set of high-quality tools and supplies that are essential for small space design. This could include a measuring tape, sketchbook, drafting tools, and an architect's scale ruler. Additionally, consider professional-grade software such as AutoCAD or SketchUp, enabling him to create and visualize his design ideas.

5. Home Makeover Consultation: Hire a professional interior designer who specializes in small spaces to provide a personalized home makeover consultation for your son. This will give him valuable insights, guidance, and professional advice on optimizing the layout, choosing colors, and creating a cohesive design aesthetic.

6. Subscription to Online Design Platforms: Gift your son a subscription to online design platforms such as Houzz or Decorist. These platforms provide access to thousands of design ideas, virtual room simulations, and inspiration from professional designers - allowing him to further refine his skills and explore new design concepts.

7. Visit to Tiny Home Shows or Exhibitions: Research local tiny home shows or exhibitions and plan a trip for your son to attend. These events provide an excellent opportunity for him to explore real-life examples of small space design and connect with professionals and like-minded enthusiasts who share his love for interior design.

8. Gift Card to a Home Decor Store: Consider giving your son a gift card to a home decor store that offers a wide variety of small space design items. This allows him the freedom to choose furniture, decor, or storage solutions that align with his personal style and design preferences.

By selecting a gift that aligns with your son's passion for small space interior design, you are not only fostering his creative interests but also providing him with the tools and resources to further develop his skills in this field.

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.”
