Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves hiking and exploring scenic trails, there are several thoughtfully chosen gifts that will enhance his outdoor adventures and bring joy to his Christmas. Here are a few ideas:

1. Hiking Gear: Consider upgrading his hiking gear with high-quality essentials like a durable backpack, reliable hiking boots, a waterproof jacket, a sturdy pair of trekking poles, and a comfortable sleeping bag. These items will make his hikes more enjoyable and ensure he is prepared for any situation.

2. National Park Pass: If your son enjoys visiting national parks, consider gifting him an annual pass. This pass will grant him access to various national parks for a year, allowing him to explore breathtaking landscapes and enjoy outdoor activities whenever he wants.

3. Trail Map: Get him a detailed and updated trail map or guidebook of his favorite hiking destination or the next place he plans to explore. This will provide him with information on different trails, their difficulty levels, and points of interest along the way. It can also be an essential safety tool.

4. Portable Charger and Solar Power Bank: To keep his devices charged during long hikes, a portable charger or solar power bank is a practical and thoughtful gift. This will ensure he can keep his phone charged for emergencies or use navigation apps to find his way on unfamiliar trails.

5. GoPro Camera: If he enjoys capturing his hiking adventures, a GoPro camera is an excellent gift. These small and durable cameras are perfect for recording stunning footage and capturing breathtaking photos while hiking. They are also lightweight and easy to mount on helmets, backpacks, or tripods.

6. Outdoor Adventure Subscription Box: A subscription box specifically designed for outdoor enthusiasts is a unique and exciting gift idea. These boxes often include camping gear, hiking accessories, snacks, and other useful items tailored to his hobbies. It's a fun way for him to discover new products and receive a surprise package regularly.

7. Hiking Cookbook: If your son enjoys cooking, a hiking cookbook can provide him with delicious and nutritious meal ideas for his outdoor adventures. These cookbooks offer recipes that are easy to prepare, pack, and cook on a camping stove or open fire, ensuring he can enjoy satisfying meals during his hikes.

Remember to personalize your gift by considering his favorite hiking destinations, activities, and interests. By choosing something that aligns with his passion for hiking and exploring, you'll not only make his Christmas special but also support and encourage his love for outdoor adventures.

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.”
