Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who has a passion for skydiving, one thoughtful and memorable gift idea could be an advanced skydiving course or experience. This gift would not only fuel his existing interest but also allow him to further develop his skill set and push his boundaries in this exhilarating sport.

There are various options when it comes to skydiving courses, depending on your son's current level of experience. You could consider gifting him an accelerated freefall (AFF) course, which is a comprehensive training program designed for individuals who want to become certified skydivers. This course typically includes ground instruction, multiple jumps, and personalized coaching to help him progress and achieve his goals in the world of skydiving.

Alternatively, you can also gift him a tandem skydiving experience but with a twist. Look for a dropzone that offers unique jumps, such as a night jump or a swoop and slide jump. These specialized jumps can offer a whole new level of excitement and challenge for your son, allowing him to explore different aspects of skydiving and make unforgettable memories.

In addition to the skydiving experiences themselves, there are other gift ideas that can complement his love for this adrenaline-pumping activity. For instance, you could consider customizing gear such as a helmet, goggles, or jumpsuit with his name, a personalized design, or a quote that resonates with his passion for skydiving. Not only will this gift be practical but it will also add a personal touch to his equipment, making him feel even more connected to the sport.

Furthermore, you could explore the world of skydiving literature. There are numerous books that delve into the experiences, techniques, and history of this thrilling activity. Look for titles such as "Skydiving: A Handbook for Students" by Dan Poynter or "The Skydiver's Handbook" by Dan Poynter and Mike Turoff. These books will not only provide him with valuable knowledge but also ignite his enthusiasm and enhance his understanding of skydiving.

Lastly, you could consider purchasing a digital camera or action camera for him to capture his skydiving moments and create lasting memories. Encourage him to document his jumps and create a personal skydiving photo or video album. This gift will not only allow him to relive the thrill of each jump but also share his adventures with others.

Overall, when gifting your son who loves skydiving, consider experiences that push his boundaries and help him progress, customized gear, informative books, and cameras to capture his adventures. These thoughtful and personal gifts will truly resonate with his passion and keep him excited about the world of skydiving.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“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.”
