Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves writing and publishing a blog, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that can enhance his passion and creativity. Here are some suggestions:

1. Writing tools: Consider gifting him a high-quality set of pens, notebooks, or a luxurious journal where he can jot down his thoughts, ideas, and blog posts. A personalized notebook or one with a motivational quote can add a personal touch to the gift.

2. Writing courses or workshops: Help your son enhance his writing skills by enrolling him in an online writing course or workshop. There are various platforms that offer courses on blogging, creative writing, and content creation, which can provide him with valuable knowledge and insights to improve his writing style.

3. Editing software: To assist him in the publishing process, consider gifting him a subscription to a popular writing and editing software, such as Grammarly or ProWritingAid. These tools can help him refine his writing, check grammar and spelling errors, and improve the overall quality of his blog posts.

4. Books on writing: Inspire your son with books that provide insights into the art of writing and blogging. Some popular options include "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft" by Stephen King, "Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life" by Anne Lamott, or "Blogging All-in-One For Dummies" by Susan Gunelius.

5. Blogging equipment: Help your son take his blog to the next level by providing him with equipment that can enhance his blogging experience. This may include a high-quality camera for capturing stunning photographs, a microphone for podcasting or voice recording, or a portable laptop stand for ergonomic writing sessions.

6. Website/domain hosting: If your son's blog is hosted on a free platform, consider gifting him a domain name and website hosting service. This will give him the ability to customize his blog's URL and have more control over the design and functionality of his website.

7. Networking opportunities: Look for blogging conferences or events in your area or online. Gifting your son tickets to such events can provide him with networking opportunities, knowledge about the latest blogging trends, and a chance to connect with other bloggers who share similar interests.

8. Subscription to writing magazines: Consider subscribing your son to a writing-related magazine such as Writer's Digest or Poets & Writers. These magazines provide valuable tips, advice, and inspiration for aspiring writers and bloggers.

9. Supportive software: Help your son stay organized and focused with productivity tools like Evernote, Trello, or Scrivener. These applications can assist him in brainstorming ideas, organizing blog posts, and staying on track with his writing goals.

10. Encouragement and feedback: Lastly, acknowledging his passion and offering support and encouragement can make a meaningful and personal gift. Take the time to read his blog regularly and provide constructive feedback or simply let him know that you appreciate and believe in his talent.

Remember, the most important gift you can give to your son is your support and encouragement towards his writing and blogging endeavors. By providing him with tools, resources, and experiences that align with his passion, you are helping him grow as a writer and showing that you support his creative 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.”
