Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who is passionate about climate change activism, there are several thoughtful and inspiring gift ideas that could truly resonate with him. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Environmental Documentary Collection: Gift your son a collection of critically acclaimed documentaries that focus on climate change, environmental issues, and activism. Films like "An Inconvenient Truth," "Chasing Ice," or "Before the Flood" can educate and inspire him further, providing him with in-depth knowledge and motivation to continue his activism.

2. Solar-Powered Gadgets: Help your son reduce his carbon footprint by gifting him solar-powered gadgets. Whether it's a solar phone charger, solar-powered backpack, or even a solar-powered smartwatch, these gifts can serve as practical tools while also highlighting the importance of renewable energy.

3. Eco-Friendly Apparel: Consider purchasing sustainable and eco-friendly clothing for your son. Look for brands that prioritize ethical production, use organic materials, or support environmental causes. T-shirts or hoodies with climate change slogans or symbols can also be a way for him to express his passion.

4. Recycled Stationery Set: If your son enjoys writing or taking notes, gift him a set of eco-friendly and recycled stationery items. Look for notebooks made from recycled paper, refillable pens, or plantable pencils. These thoughtful gifts promote sustainability while encouraging your son to continue his activism through writing and communication.

5. Donation in His Name: Make a donation to a climate change organization or any environmental cause that he supports. This not only shows your support for his passion but also contributes to the cause he cares about. Additionally, some organizations provide certificates or personalized recognition for donors, which makes it a more meaningful and personal gift.

6. Environmental Books: Expand your son's knowledge and inspire his activism with books on climate change and environmental issues. Choose from a range of options, such as "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson, "This Changes Everything" by Naomi Klein, or "The Uninhabitable Earth" by David Wallace-Wells. These books can provide him with new insights, motivate him, and equip him with the necessary information to raise awareness.

Remember, the best gift for your son will be the one that aligns with his interests and values. Your support and encouragement in his activism journey will be the most meaningful present of all.

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.”
