Five Star Gift Ideas

For your boyfriend who is fascinated with urban exploration (urbex), I have a few gift ideas that are sure to make his birthday special. These suggestions range from experiences to practical gear that will enhance his urban exploration adventures.

1. Urbex Photography Workshop: Organize a photography workshop focused on urban exploration. This will allow your boyfriend to hone his photography skills while exploring abandoned buildings and capturing unique and captivating images. Look for local photographers or photography schools that offer specialized urbex workshops.

2. Urbex Guidebooks: Get him a collection of urbex guidebooks that showcase the best locations for urban exploration around the world. These books not only provide valuable information about safety and access to different sites, but they also include stunning photographs and inspiring stories from other explorers.

3. Urbex Gear: Upgrade your boyfriend's gear with essentials for urbex. Consider getting him a sturdy backpack, headlamp, and a good quality camera or GoPro to capture his adventures. Additionally, a pair of comfortable and durable shoes like hiking boots will ensure he can explore abandoned places without worrying about his footwear.

4. Go on an Urbex Adventure: Plan an urbex adventure for the two of you. Research and find a nearby ghost town, abandoned building, or historical site that allows exploration. Spending a day exploring together will not only fulfill his passion for urbex but will also create beautiful memories for both of you.

5. Urbex Travel Map: Create a personalized travel map that highlights all the urbex locations he has visited or dreams of exploring. This map can serve as a visual reminder of his passion and motivate him to continue his adventures.

6. Urbex Artwork: Commission a local artist to create a custom piece of artwork inspired by urban exploration. It could be a painting, a photograph, or a mixed media piece that captures the essence of abandoned buildings and the beauty found within decay. This unique and personal gift will remind him of his love for urbex every time he sees it.

7. Subscription to Urbex Publications: Sign him up for subscriptions to urbex magazines or online platforms that regularly feature articles, photographs, and stories about urban exploration. This will keep him updated on the latest trends, techniques, and locations in the urbex community, offering inspiration for future adventures.

Remember, the most meaningful gifts are those that show you truly understand his interests and passions. By selecting a gift that aligns with his love for urban exploration, you are not only acknowledging his hobby but also supporting and encouraging his adventurous spirit.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

“I ordered a print for my boyfriend for his upcoming birthday 7 days ago and received it today. I ordered the anatomical heart one reflecting back on our first date. We love it! It is beautifully done and looks great in the living room!!!”
