Five Star Gift Ideas

How about a portable sketching kit for your son's on-the-go sketching and urban sketching hobbies? Here's a gift idea that might be perfect for him:

1. Portable Sketching Set: Look for a set that includes all the essentials for sketching while on the move. This can include a compact sketchbook, a variety of high-quality sketching pencils, erasers, and shading tools. Make sure the sketchbook is small enough for him to carry in his bag or pocket.

2. Watercolor Paint Set: To enhance his urban sketching experience, consider adding a small watercolor paint set to the mix. Look for a set that includes a range of vibrant colors in a portable palette. This will allow him to add beautiful washes and details to his sketches.

3. Travel-Friendly Easel: Depending on your budget, you could also consider getting him a portable easel. Look for lightweight and adjustable options that can be easily set up and folded back into a compact size. This will give him the flexibility to sketch comfortably outdoors or in locations where there may not be suitable surfaces to work on.

4. Sketching Accessories: Think about including additional accessories that can enhance his sketching experience. This can include items like a portable pencil sharpener, a set of fine-line pens for adding details, a sketching pen with waterproof ink, and a small water spray bottle for wetting his watercolors.

5. Art Luggage: Finally, if your son tends to carry a lot of supplies with him, consider getting him a stylish and practical art luggage bag. Look for a bag with various compartments, pockets, and dividers to keep his art supplies organized and protected while he's on the move.

Remember, the goal is to make his sketching experience smoother and more enjoyable. By considering these gift ideas, you'll be able to provide him with the tools and accessories he needs to pursue his passion for on-the-go sketching and urban sketching.

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.”
