Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves writing novels, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider. These gifts will not only support his creativity but also show that you appreciate his passion for writing. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Inspirational Books: Consider gifting him some classic novels or books on writing craft that can inspire and motivate him. Books like "On Writing" by Stephen King or "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott are excellent choices that offer valuable insights and tips for aspiring writers.

2. Writing Journal/Notebook: Every writer needs a trusty notebook to jot down ideas, plotlines, and character developments. Look for a high-quality journal with thick paper that can withstand ink or a notebook designed specifically for writers, with prompts and tips to spark creativity.

3. Writing Resources: Help your son enhance his writing skills by providing him with resources such as online writing courses, creative writing workshops, or access to writing software like Scrivener. These resources can offer him valuable tools and guidance to improve his craft and develop his novel.

4. Customized Writing Tools: Consider getting your son personalized items such as a custom-made pen set, engraved with his name or a meaningful message. Alternatively, you could also gift him a custom-made laptop sleeve or a stylish leather-bound notebook cover that will make his writing experience more enjoyable.

5. Literary-themed Gifts: Explore the world of literary-themed gifts! You can find t-shirts, mugs, or posters featuring quotes from famous authors, typewriter-themed accessories, or even a "build your own book" kit. These gifts can add a touch of inspiration and creativity to his writing space.

6. Subscription to a Book Club: A subscription to a book club catered to his interests can be an excellent gift. Joining a book club will allow him to discover new authors, engage in discussions about books, and find inspiration from different writing styles and genres.

7. Supportive Services: If your son is working on a specific writing project or needs some guidance, consider gifting him a professional manuscript review or editing service. This thoughtful gift will provide him with constructive feedback and help him refine his writing.

Remember, the most important aspect of giving a meaningful gift is to show your son that you support and believe in his passion for writing. Perhaps take the time to have a heartfelt conversation about his writing goals and aspirations, offering your encouragement and support as he pursues his dreams.

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.”
