Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys geocaching and outdoor scavenger hunts, there are a variety of thoughtful and practical gift options that could enhance his experience and hobbies. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Geocaching Starter Kit: Consider putting together a comprehensive geocaching starter kit for your son. Include essentials like a high-quality GPS device, a geocaching logbook, geocache containers, and small trinkets or toys to leave behind as trade items.

2. Geocaching App Subscription: Many geocachers rely on smartphone apps to navigate and find caches. You could gift your son a subscription to a premium geocaching app, which usually offers additional features like offline maps and advanced search options.

3. Outdoor Gear: Help your son stay comfortable and prepared during his geocaching adventures by gifting him outdoor gear. Consider items like a durable backpack, a compact and lightweight camping hammock, a multi-tool, a weatherproof headlamp, or a reusable water bottle.

4. Books and Magazines: There are several fascinating books and magazines available that share stories, tips, and insights about geocaching. Consider gifting your son with reading material such as "The Geocaching Handbook" by Layne Cameron or a subscription to a geocaching magazine like "Finds & Hides."

5. Personalized Geocaching Supplies: Make your son's geocaching endeavors even more special by personalizing some of his supplies. For example, you could order custom-made geocaching patches for his backpack or create unique geocaching trackable items featuring his name or a personal message.

6. Outdoor Adventure Experience: Instead of a physical gift, consider giving your son an outdoor adventure experience. Plan a weekend getaway to a nature reserve or national park where he can explore new geocaching trails and savor the beauty of the outdoors.

7. Geocaching Club Membership: Consider gifting your son a membership to a local geocaching club or an online geocaching community. These communities often offer access to exclusive caches, events, and a chance to connect with other geocachers who share the same passion.

8. DIY Geocache Containers: Instead of purchasing pre-made geocache containers, you and your son could spend quality time together creating personalized DIY geocache containers. Using materials like durable plastic containers or craft store items, you can design unique caches specific to his interests.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows you understand and support your son's hobbies and interests. By considering his love for geocaching and outdoor scavenger hunts, you can choose a gift that not only enhances his experiences but also strengthens your bond as you share in his adventures.

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.”
