Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys writing and mailing letters, there are many thoughtful and personal gift options that would enhance his passion and make him excited to correspond with others. Here are a few ideas:

1. Custom Stationery Set: Create a personalized stationery set for him, including letterheads, envelopes, and notepads with his name or initials. This will make his letters even more unique and allow him to showcase his personal style.

2. Vintage Typewriter: Consider gifting him a vintage typewriter to ignite his creative spark. Typewriters have a nostalgic charm and provide a tactile experience that enhances the writing process. Ensure that it's in good working condition and equipped with a fresh ink ribbon.

3. Calligraphy Set: Encourage your son's love for writing by gifting him a calligraphy set. This will allow him to experiment with different writing styles, fonts, and techniques, making his letters visually appealing and artistic. Along with the set, include instructional books or online courses to help him learn calligraphy.

4. Wax Seal Kit: A wax seal kit adds a touch of elegance and nostalgia to letters. Provide him with a personalized wax seal stamp bearing his initials or a symbol that represents him. Additionally, include different colored sealing waxes and a melting spoon, allowing him to create beautiful and sealed envelopes.

5. Subscription to a Letter-Writing Service: There are subscription services available that send handwritten letters to your loved ones on a recurring basis. Sign your son up for such a service, allowing him to receive letters from fictional characters or historical figures who write back and forth with him. This can be a unique and exciting way for him to receive correspondence.

6. Personalized Postage Stamps: Order a set of custom postage stamps featuring his favorite photographs or artwork. Whenever he mails a letter, he can adhere these stamps, adding a personal touch to his outgoing mail.

7. Correspondence Journal: Gift your son a dedicated correspondence journal where he can document his journey as a writer. He can write down the letters he sends, the responses he receives, and reflections on different writing experiences. This would be a valuable keepsake and an opportunity for him to track his progress.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thoughtfulness behind it. By choosing something that aligns with your son's love for writing and letters, you'll be nurturing his passion and encouraging creativity.

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.”
