Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys letterboxing, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas you can choose from to enhance his hobby and show him your support. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Letterboxing Starter Kit: Help your son take his letterboxing experience to the next level with a complete starter kit. This kit could include a logbook, stamps, ink pads, and a compass, all neatly packaged in a personalized letterboxing bag or box. You could even create a custom-made logbook with his initials or a favorite design on the cover.

2. Hand-carved Stamp: Look for a beautifully hand-carved stamp that reflects your son's interests or hobbies. You could choose a design related to letterboxing, his favorite animal, or a place he loves. Alternatively, you could commission a custom-made stamp featuring his own signature mark to make his letterboxing experience even more personal and unique.

3. Travel-sized Journal/Notebook: As letterboxing often involves exploring various locations, a travel-sized journal or notebook would be a practical and thoughtful gift. Your son can use it to jot down clues, document his letterboxing adventures, and even sketch and doodle along the way. Opt for one with a durable cover and quality pages that can withstand outdoor excursions.

4. Outdoor Gear: To enhance your son's outdoor letterboxing experiences, consider gifting him some practical gear. For example, a sturdy backpack with compartments for organizing his supplies, a durable water bottle, or a reliable compass. These items will not only support his letterboxing hobby but will also encourage his love for the outdoors.

5. Letterboxing Guidebooks: Expand your son's letterboxing knowledge by gifting him guidebooks written by experienced letterboxers. These books typically include tips, tricks, and stories about successful letterboxing adventures. They can provide valuable insights and inspiration for your son to plan his own expeditions.

6. Personalized Letterboxing T-Shirt or Sweatshirt: Show your son how proud you are of his letterboxing hobby by gifting him a personalized t-shirt or sweatshirt. You could have his favorite letterboxing quote, his trail name, or a unique design related to letterboxing printed on the garment. This way, he can proudly display his passion while on the trails.

Remember to consider your son's specific preferences and needs when selecting a gift. Take note of any specific items he may have mentioned or accessories he may need for his letterboxing adventures. By giving him a thoughtful and personalized present related to his hobby, you will not only show your support but also fuel his enthusiasm for letterboxing.

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

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
