Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys geocaching and GPS treasure hunting, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider to enhance his experience and make his hobby even more enjoyable.

1. GPS Device: Since geocaching heavily relies on using GPS coordinates to locate hidden treasures, a high-quality and durable GPS device can be a perfect gift for your son. Look for a device specifically designed for outdoor activities, with a clear display and accurate navigation features.

2. Geocache Containers: Geocaching involves hiding and finding hidden containers, also known as geocaches. Consider gifting him a variety of geocache containers, ranging from small containers for urban settings to larger ones for countryside adventures. This will allow him to create his own geocaches and contribute to the geocaching community.

3. Geocaching App Subscriptions: There are numerous geocaching apps available that offer different features and functions. Consider gifting your son a subscription to a premium geocaching app that provides access to a wide range of geocaches, offline maps, and additional tools to enhance his geocaching experience.

4. Outdoor Gear: Geocaching often involves exploring rugged terrains and outdoor environments. Consider gifting him outdoor gear such as a durable backpack, comfortable hiking boots, a waterproof jacket, or a multi-purpose tool. These items will not only make his geocaching adventures safer but also more enjoyable.

5. Geocaching Books and Guides: There are several books and guides available on the subject of geocaching that can provide valuable insights, tips, and tricks to improve his skills. Look for books that offer a mix of geocaching stories, techniques, and location ideas to inspire and educate him further.

6. Travel or Activity Vouchers: If your son enjoys geocaching while traveling, consider gifting him travel vouchers to a location known for its geocaching opportunities. Alternatively, you could gift him vouchers for other outdoor activities such as rock climbing, canoeing, or orienteering, which can complement his geocaching adventures.

7. Personalized Geocaching Gear: Make his geocaching experience even more special by gifting him personalized gear such as a custom-made geocaching T-shirt or a personalized geocaching logbook. You could also consider customizing a geocaching trackable, a small item that can be tracked and discovered by other geocachers as it travels from cache to cache.

8. Geocaching Events and Memberships: Check if there are any geocaching events or organizations in your area. Some regions have geocaching clubs or communities that organize regular events, workshops, or group outings. Consider gifting your son a membership to such groups, providing him with opportunities to meet fellow geocachers and participate in exciting activities.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your son that you support and appreciate his passion for geocaching. By selecting a gift that complements his hobby and helps him explore new possibilities, you are sure to make his Christmas extra special.

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.”
