Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is passionate about cycling and long-distance biking, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that he would truly appreciate. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Cycling Gear: Since your son enjoys cycling, consider getting him some high-quality cycling gear such as a cycling jersey, a pair of padded shorts, a helmet, or a pair of cycling shoes. Investing in good gear will enhance his comfort and performance during his long-distance rides.

2. Bike Accessories: Help him enhance his biking experience by gifting him some useful bike accessories. These can include a bike computer to track his distance, speed, and route, a bike lock for added security, a tool kit for bike repairs, or a water bottle cage to keep him hydrated during his rides.

3. Cycling Clothing: Look for clothing items that are specifically designed for cycling, such as a windbreaker jacket, arm warmers, leg warmers, or a lightweight vest. These items will provide protection against the elements and help him stay comfortable on his rides.

4. Cycling Books or Magazines: If your son enjoys reading, consider selecting a few books or magazines about cycling. There are several options available, ranging from inspiring stories of famous cyclists to practical guides on long-distance biking and cycle touring. This gift will not only entertain him but also fuel his passion for cycling.

5. Bike Maintenance Tools: Since biking is his passion, he will likely appreciate having the tools necessary to maintain and repair his bike. Consider gifting him a bike repair stand, a set of bike-specific tools, a tire pump, or a bike maintenance book. This will enable him to take care of his bike and keep it in optimal condition.

6. Cycling Adventure: Another wonderful gift idea could be planning a cycling adventure for your son. Research long-distance biking trails or plan a bikepacking trip together. This could be a great way to spend quality time with him and create unforgettable memories while pursuing his passion for cycling.

7. A Bike Upgrade: If your son has been using the same bike for a while, consider surprising him with an upgrade. Talk to a local bike shop or do research online to find a bike that suits his cycling style and preferences. This gift will not only show your support for his passion but also enhance his biking experience.

Remember, the most important aspect of a gift is the thought and effort put into choosing it. Consider your son's specific needs and preferences as a cyclist, and select a gift that reflects his love for cycling and long-distance biking.

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.”
