Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandson who enjoys letterboxing and orienteering, there are a few gift ideas that are sure to spark his interest and enhance his hobbies:

1. Orienteering Compass: An essential tool for orienteering, a high-quality compass will aid your grandson in navigating through different terrains and finding hidden letterboxes. Look for compasses that are durable, easy to read, and have features like adjustable declination and a lanyard for easy carrying.

2. Letterboxing Starter Kit: Help your grandson dive deeper into the world of letterboxing with a starter kit. This can include a variety of items such as a logbook, rubber stamps, ink pads, clues, and a letterboxing guidebook. This kit will provide him with everything he needs to start exploring and hiding his own letterboxes.

3. Outdoor Adventure Gear: As he embarks on his letterboxing and orienteering expeditions, ensure he is well-equipped with gear designed for outdoor adventures. Consider gifting him items like a durable backpack, comfortable hiking boots, a reliable camping stove, a hydration pack, and a waterproof jacket - all of which are practical and essential for his escapades.

4. Maps and Navigation Tools: A collection of topographic maps of various areas where he can explore and search for letterboxes can be an excellent gift. Additionally, consider getting him a handheld GPS device specifically designed for hiking and orienteering. These devices allow him to plot routes, mark waypoints, and track his progress, enhancing his outdoor experiences.

5. Outdoor Experience Voucher: Treat your grandson to an unforgettable outdoor experience that combines his passions for letterboxing and orienteering. Look for adventure companies or organizations that offer guided treasure-hunting tours or orienteering events. This way, he can learn from experienced individuals, explore new areas, and meet like-minded enthusiasts.

6. Personalized Rubber Stamp: Help your grandson leave his mark on the letterboxing community with a custom-made rubber stamp. You can design a stamp that reflects his personality or incorporates symbols or images that hold meaning to him. This will not only add a personal touch to his letterboxing adventures but also serve as a keepsake that he can cherish for years to come.

7. Outdoor Survival Guidebook: Consider gifting your grandson an informative and comprehensive guidebook that covers various outdoor survival techniques, such as wilderness first aid, navigation, and basic knot tying. This gift will not only enhance his skills for letterboxing and orienteering but also ensure his safety and preparedness during his outdoor escapades.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows your support and understanding of his hobbies. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests, you're not only giving him a physical item but also encouraging him to pursue his passion for letterboxing and orienteering.

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