Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves sketching fashion designs, there are several thoughtful gift ideas that could inspire and enhance his artistic abilities. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. Fashion Design Sketchbook: Invest in a high-quality and aesthetically pleasing sketchbook specifically created for fashion designers. Look for one with blank pages and quality paper that can handle pencils, markers, and watercolors, allowing your son to unleash his creativity without any limitations.

2. Professional Art Supplies: Upgrade your son's art supplies with a set of professional sketching pencils, markers, and colored pencils. Brands like Prismacolor or Copic offer high-quality and vibrant tools that can bring his fashion illustrations to life. Consider a variety of line weights and shades to allow for increased versatility in his designs.

3. Fashion Illustration Books: You can gift your son some inspirational fashion illustration books. There are many options available that showcase the work of renowned fashion designers and illustrators. Exposing him to different styles and techniques can broaden his artistic horizons.

4. Online Fashion Design Course: Help your son further refine his skills by enrolling him in an online fashion design course. Many platforms offer courses taught by professionals in the industry, covering topics such as sketching, color theory, garment construction, and more. This gift can provide him with valuable knowledge and guidance to push his creativity even further.

5. Magazine Subscription: Consider getting your son a subscription to a fashion magazine that showcases the latest trends, designers, and artistic inspiration. Not only will he stay updated on the fashion world, but he can also use the magazine as a reference for his sketches.

6. Fashion Design Templates: Gift your son a set of fashion design templates. These pre-drawn figures will provide him with a foundation to quickly sketch his designs upon, allowing him to focus on the creativity and details of his fashion concepts.

7. A Trip to a Fashion Exhibition: If possible, plan a trip to a nearby city or museum where a fashion exhibition is taking place. Experiencing fashion designs up close can provide your son with new perspectives, inspiration, and a chance to see the artistic process behind clothing collections.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows your support and encouragement for your son's passion. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests, you are not only recognizing his talent but also nurturing his artistic journey.

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.”
