Five Star Gift Ideas

A great gift idea for your grandson who enjoys hiking could be a hiking gear basket filled with items such as a good-quality water bottle, a sturdy backpack, a compass, a headlamp, a good pair of hiking socks, a trail map of a nearby nature reserve or park, and a field guide to birds or plants. Another option could be an annual pass to a national park that has hiking trails or a gift card to a hiking supply store so your grandson can choose his own gear. A book about the history of the Appalachian Trail or a collection of short stories about hiking could make a thoughtful and engaging gift as well.

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