For your grandson who loves hiking, there are plenty of thoughtful and practical gift options that can enhance his outdoor adventures and add to his hiking gear collection. Here are a few ideas for birthday gifts that are sure to excite him:

1. Hiking Gear: Consider gifting him essential hiking gear such as a high-quality backpack, a durable and lightweight camping tent, a comfortable sleeping bag, or a pair of reliable hiking boots. These items will not only make his hiking trips more enjoyable but also ensure his safety and comfort in the wilderness.

2. Hiking Accessories: There are various hiking accessories that can enhance his outdoor experience. Look for a versatile and functional multi-tool, a portable water filtration system, a compact camping stove, or a high-quality headlamp. These accessories will come in handy during his hikes and camping trips.

3. Trail Maps and Guidebooks: Help him discover new hiking trails by gifting him a set of detailed trail maps and guidebooks. Consider choosing guides that cover his favorite hiking destinations, or ones that showcase challenging or scenic hiking routes. This will not only provide him with valuable information but also inspire him to explore new areas.

4. Outdoor Apparel: Upgrade his hiking wardrobe with some practical and high-performance outdoor apparel. Look for moisture-wicking and quick-drying clothing options such as hiking shirts, pants, and socks. Additionally, consider gifting him a waterproof and breathable jacket or a warm and cozy fleece for colder weather hikes.

5. Hiking Accessories: Help him stay organized on the trail with useful hiking accessories. Consider gifting him a compact and lightweight foldable hiking chair, a durable hiking hat, or a versatile hiking watch with features like altimeter, compass, and GPS tracking. These accessories will add convenience and functionality to his hikes.

6. Hiking Books: If your grandson enjoys reading, consider gifting him some inspiring and informative hiking books. Look for captivating adventure narratives, detailed trail guides, or books about the history and significance of hiking. These books will not only entertain him but also fuel his passion for hiking and the outdoors.

7. National Park Pass: If your grandson loves exploring national parks, consider gifting him an annual pass to the national parks system. This pass will allow him unlimited access to over 2,000 federally-managed recreation sites across the country, providing him with countless opportunities to indulge in his favorite hobby.

Remember, the most important aspect of a gift is the thought behind it. Consider your grandson's specific hiking preferences, his hiking goals, and any items he may be missing from his gear collection. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests and needs, you can make his birthday truly special and memorable.

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