Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves extreme sports like snowboarding and skydiving, there are plenty of exciting and meaningful gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas that combine his passions with personal touches:

1. GoPro Camera: A rugged and durable action camera, like the GoPro Hero 9, will allow your son to capture his adrenaline-filled moments while snowboarding or skydiving. He can relive those thrilling experiences and share them with others. Consider getting him useful accessories like a chest mount or a floating hand grip.

2. Personalized Equipment: Whether it's a snowboard or a parachute, consider getting your son customized equipment. You can engrave his name or a special message on the snowboard, or personalize the parachute with his favorite colors. This will make his gear even more special and unique.

3. Adventure Voucher: Treat your son to an unforgettable day of extreme sports. Look for a reputable company that offers guided adventures like heli-skiing, backcountry snowboarding, or tandem skydiving. Purchase a voucher for a specific date or make it open-ended so that he can choose when to go.

4. Protective Gear: Safety should always come first, especially in extreme sports. Upgrade your son's safety equipment, such as a durable snowboarding helmet or a high-quality skydiving jumpsuit. Make sure you choose equipment that aligns with his preferences and fits him perfectly for maximum comfort and protection.

5. "Stoke" Subscription Box: There are subscription boxes specifically curated for extreme sports enthusiasts. These boxes often feature a selection of gear, accessories, and exclusive items related to the sport your son loves. It's a gift that keeps on giving, providing him with surprises and useful tools throughout the year.

6. Training or Lessons: Enhance your son's skills and knowledge by gifting him lessons or training sessions with professionals in his chosen sport. Look for snowboarding or skydiving schools that offer personalized coaching tailored to his skill level. This will not only boost his confidence but also provide him with valuable experiences and connections within the sport.

7. Inspirational Books: Allow your son to explore the stories and experiences of legendary extreme sports athletes. Gift him books like "The Art of Fear" by Kristen Ulmer or "Let My People Go Surfing" by Yvon Chouinard. These books offer insights and inspiration that can encourage him in his own adventures.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your son that you support and understand his passions. By choosing a gift that aligns with his love for extreme sports, you're giving him something that not only reflects his interests but also contributes to his personal growth and enjoyment.

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

“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.”
