Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is a passionate traveler, there are countless gift options that can enhance his experiences on his worldly adventures. Here are some ideas to consider:

1. Scratch Map: A scratch-off map allows your son to keep track of all the places he has visited and serves as a visually appealing reminder of his travel accomplishments.

2. Travel Books: From travel memoirs to destination guides, there are numerous books available that can inspire and guide your son on his future travels. Consider gifting him works by renowned travel writers like Bill Bryson or Anthony Bourdain.

3. Adventure Equipment: Depending on your son's interests, you could consider gifting him equipment specific to his favorite type of travel. For example, if he enjoys hiking, a high-quality backpack or a pair of sturdy hiking boots would be practical gifts.

4. Travel Journal: Encourage your son to chronicle his travel experiences by giving him a well-designed travel journal. The journal could have dedicated sections for recording memories, sketching, and even maps to mark his routes.

5. Portable Charger: For someone who is always on the go, a portable charger is an essential item. Look for one that is compact, lightweight, and has multiple charging ports to keep all his devices powered up during his travels.

6. Local Experiences: Instead of a material gift, you could surprise your son with a unique local experience in a destination he plans to visit. It could be a cooking class, scuba diving lessons, or a ticket to a special event that aligns with his interests.

7. Travel-inspired Jewelry: Consider gifting your son a piece of jewelry that symbolizes his love for travel. For example, a compass pendant or a bracelet with a world map charm could be a beautiful and meaningful gift.

8. Language Learning Resources: Learning a few phrases in the local language can greatly enhance a travel experience. Consider gifting your son language learning resources like language apps, phrasebooks, or even online courses tailored to the destinations he plans to visit.

9. Travel-themed Art or Decor: Help your son create a travel-inspired ambiance in his living space by gifting him artwork or decor items. It could be a world map poster, vintage travel posters, or photographs from his favorite destinations.

10. Travel Gadgets: There are plenty of gadgets designed to make travel more convenient and enjoyable. Noise-cancelling headphones, a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, or a compact travel pillow could be practical gifts that enhance his travel experiences.

Remember, the most important thing is to choose a gift that reflects your son's unique interests and aligns with his travel style. Keeping his preferences in mind will make the gift even more meaningful and memorable.

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.”
