Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves writing and journaling, there are a variety of thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that can encourage his passion and creativity. Here are a few suggestions that he might appreciate:

1. Personalized Leather Journal: A leather journal with his name or initials engraved on the cover can make a cherished gift. This adds a personal touch and makes the journal truly his own. Consider choosing a high-quality journal with blank pages or a specific theme that aligns with his interests.

2. Fountain Pen: A smooth-writing fountain pen can enhance the writing experience and make it more enjoyable for your son. Look for a pen that is comfortable to hold and has a bold or flexible nib, depending on his preferences. You can also consider pairing the fountain pen with a bottle of ink in his favorite color.

3. Writing Prompts Book: Sometimes, even the most creative minds need a little inspiration. A book of writing prompts can help your son overcome writer's block or simply provide new ideas for his journal entries or creative writing endeavors. Look for a book that offers a wide range of prompts, such as storytelling, poetry, or personal reflection.

4. Writing Workshop or Course: If your son is serious about his writing, enrolling him in a writing workshop or course can be a valuable gift. This could be either an online or in-person course, tailored to his specific interests and skill level. It will not only provide him with the opportunity to learn and grow as a writer but also connect with other aspiring writers and professionals in the field.

5. Book Subscription Service: Consider gifting your son a subscription to a book club or literary magazine. This will expose him to new authors, genres, and writing styles. Select a subscription service that aligns with his interests and encourages him to explore a diverse range of literature.

6. Typewriter or Vintage Writing Tools: If your son has a penchant for nostalgia or appreciates vintage items, consider gifting him a typewriter or other unique writing tools like a quill pen or antique inkwell. These items can add a touch of old-world charm to his writing space and inspire his creativity.

7. Writing Software or App: Depending on your son's preference for digital tools, you may consider gifting him a writing software or app. There are several options available that offer a distraction-free writing environment, help with organization, or provide useful features like spell-check and word count. Look for user-friendly options that suit his writing style and preferences.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and effort you put into it. By selecting a gift that aligns with your son's passion for writing and journaling, you will not only support his creative endeavors but also show him that you care about his interests and aspirations.

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.”
