Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is interested in ecology, there are plenty of gift ideas that would appeal to him. Here are a few suggestions that you could consider:

1. Environmental books: Your son may enjoy receiving some books on the topic of ecology. There are a number of options available for different age groups and interests. For example, you could consider books like “The Hidden Life of Trees” by Peter Wohlleben, “The Sixth Extinction” by Elizabeth Kolbert, or “Silent Spring” by Rachel Carson.

2. Sustainable gifts: If your son is environmentally conscious, he may appreciate gifts that help reduce pollution or waste. Reusable produce bags, metal straws, a sustainable water bottle or lunch box, or a small potted plant can be great gift options.

3. Eco-friendly adventures: You could research eco-friendly adventures in your city or state, depending on your budget. For example, a camping trip or a guided hike through a local park or nature reserve could be an exciting adventure that also satisfies his interest in ecology.

4. Memberships to Animal Conservation Societies or Eco-Organizations: You could gift your son with a membership to an eco-friendly international or local organization such as Greenpeace. Donations to wildlife conservation organizations such as African Wildlife Foundation may also be of interest.

5. Science Kits: If your son is interested in science or experiments, you could consider purchasing a science kit related to ecology. Amazon has many options available, such as terranium building kits or compost making kits that allow him to create something and learn about the natural environment in the process.

6. Natural history museum tickets – If your son likes ecology-related discovery-type activities, tickets to your local natural history museum to explore the inside of an ancient dinosaur, track tiger prints, or take photos with animal exhibits can be an excellent option.

Ultimately, your son would appreciate that you took the time to research an ecology-related present for him, and the gift will be very meaningful.

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.”
