Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who enjoys exploring ghost towns and urban exploration, here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas that will enhance his adventures:

1. Ghost Town Guidebooks: Consider gifting him a collection of guidebooks that specialize in ghost towns and abandoned places. These books are packed with historical information, maps, and tips on how to locate and explore these captivating sites. Some popular options include "Ghost Towns of the American West" by Philip Varney and "Abandoned Places: A Photographic Exploration of More Than 100 Worlds We Have Left Behind" by Kieron Connolly.

2. Metal Detector: Help him uncover hidden treasures and artifacts by surprising him with a high-quality metal detector. This tool will add another layer of excitement to his explorations and allow him to search for valuable relics or forgotten items buried beneath the surface. Be sure to choose a model specifically designed for finding old coins and artifacts.

3. Urban Exploration Photography Course: If your husband has an interest in photography, consider gifting him a photography course focused on urban exploration. This will not only improve his photography skills but also teach him how to capture the true essence and beauty of the abandoned locations he encounters. Look for local workshops or online courses where he can learn from experienced photographers.

4. Customized Urban Exploration Gear: Surprise him with personalized gear that caters to his passion. This can include customized T-shirts, hoodies, or hats featuring his favorite ghost towns or urban exploration quotes. You could even consider having a durable backpack or duffel bag embroidered with his initials or a memorable phrase related to his adventures.

5. Drone with Camera: Elevate his explorations to new heights by gifting him a drone equipped with a camera. This will allow him to capture breathtaking aerial shots of ghost towns and abandoned places from a unique perspective. Look for a user-friendly drone that offers excellent maneuverability and a high-resolution camera for the best results.

6. Vintage Maps and Art Prints: Help him bring the ghost towns to life with vintage maps and art prints. Look for retro-style maps or vintage posters of the ghost towns he's visited or ones he plans to explore in the future. Not only will these prints add an interesting visual touch to his living space, but they will also serve as a reminder of his passion and adventures.

7. Outdoor Adventure Survival Kit: Safety should always be a priority. Consider gifting him an outdoor adventure survival kit specifically tailored for his explorations. Such kits often include essential items like a compass, fire starter, first aid supplies, multi-tool, and emergency shelter. Choose a compact and portable kit that he can easily carry in his backpack during his explorations.

Remember, the most thoughtful gifts are often those that show you understand his passions and support his interests. Consider his specific preferences, gear needs, and future goals when choosing a gift for his birthday.

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

Burcin Dalkanat says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
