For your husband who enjoys urban exploration and urbex, you can consider giving him a gift that combines his passion for adventure with unique experiences and practical items. Here are a few ideas that may be meaningful and personal for him:

1. Photography Gear: Many urbex enthusiasts document their explorations through captivating photographs. Consider upgrading his camera or accessories, such as a wide-angle lens or a sturdy tripod. These would enhance his photography skills and ensure he captures stunning shots in abandoned urban spaces.

2. Guidebooks and Maps: Help him discover new urbex locations with guidebooks and maps dedicated to urban exploration. Look for publications that offer detailed insights, historical context, and safety tips for aspiring urban explorers. This gift will not only provide him with new ideas for his adventures but also ensure his safety during explorations.

3. GoPro or Action Camera: If your husband enjoys capturing his urbex explorations on video, a durable and high-quality action camera like GoPro would be an excellent choice. These cameras are compact, waterproof, and can withstand rough conditions, allowing him to record his urban adventures and share them with others.

4. Adventure Gear: Urbex often involves traversing abandoned buildings, tunnels, and other challenging environments. Consider gifting him durable and versatile adventure gear, such as a multi-tool, headlamp, or a reliable backpack. These practical items will aid him in his explorations and ensure he is well-prepared for any situation.

5. Urbex Tours or Workshops: Surprise him with an opportunity to join an organized urbex tour or workshop in a new or intriguing location. These experiences provide not only new urban spaces to explore but also the chance to meet fellow enthusiasts and learn from experienced guides. It would undoubtedly be an unforgettable adventure for him.

6. Artwork or Prints: Search for unique artwork or prints that capture the essence of urbex. Look for pieces created by local artists who also appreciate urban exploration or prints featuring abandoned cityscapes. This gift would allow him to bring his passion for urbex into his home and serve as a subtle reminder of his adventures.

7. Subscription to Urbex Magazines or Websites: Sign him up for a subscription to urbex magazines or websites that share captivating stories, photographs, and historical insights about urban exploration. This gift would keep him inspired, informed, and connected to the urbex community, even when he is not actively exploring.

Remember to consider his personal preferences and needs when choosing the gift. When you thoughtfully select a gift that aligns with his passion for urbex, it shows that you understand and support his interests, making it all the more meaningful and personal.

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

“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 :)”
