Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who enjoys exploring ghost towns and abandoned places, there are plenty of unique and thoughtful gift ideas that cater to their interest. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Book on urban exploration: Look for a book specifically dedicated to urban exploration or haunted places. There are many titles available that showcase stunning visuals, historical context, and personal narratives of abandoned locations. This gift will not only provide inspiration for future adventures but also ignite their imagination.

2. Vintage camera: Consider gifting your friend a vintage film camera to capture the eerie beauty of the places they visit. Film photography adds a touch of nostalgia and can create hauntingly beautiful images that perfectly evoke the atmosphere of ghost towns. Look for a camera that matches their style and preferences, such as a classic Polaroid camera or a vintage 35mm film camera.

3. Customized map: Help your friend keep track of their explorations by creating a personalized map of ghost towns, abandoned places, or haunted sites. You can mark the locations they have visited or hope to explore in the future. There are websites and online services that allow you to design customized maps, or you could even go the extra mile and create a handmade map with illustrations and notes.

4. Ghost-themed documentary or film collection: Look for a collection of documentaries or films that focus on abandoned places or ghost stories. There are several well-received documentaries and TV series that delve into the history and mysteries of ghost towns and abandoned sites. This gift will not only entertain them during downtime but also provide new insights and stories related to their interest.

5. Abandoned photography workshop: Consider enrolling your friend in an abandoned photography workshop or tour. Many professional photographers who specialize in urban exploration offer workshops or guided tours to share their knowledge and techniques. This will not only provide a valuable learning experience but also an opportunity to network with other photography enthusiasts who share the same interest.

6. Subscription to a paranormal magazine: Look for a subscription to a paranormal or urban exploration magazine. These publications often feature articles, photos, and personal stories related to abandoned places and ghost towns. Your friend will appreciate having a regular source of inspiration and information to fuel their passion.

Remember, the most thoughtful and personal gifts are those that cater to a person's individual interests and passions. By choosing a gift that aligns with their love for exploring ghost towns and abandoned places, you can show your friend that you have taken the time and effort to understand and engage with their unique hobby.

Or you can get her/him a star map with an important date you share.
