Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who loves journeying, there are plenty of gift options that can make his adventures even more enjoyable and memorable. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Scratch-off World Map: Help your son keep track of his travels with a scratch-off world map. Each time he visits a new country or city, he can scratch off the corresponding area and reveal a vibrant, personalized map of his journeys. This gift will serve as a visual reminder of all the places he has visited and inspire him to explore even more.

2. Travel Journal: Encourage your son to document his travel experiences with a high-quality travel journal. Look for one with a durable cover, blank pages for writing, pockets for storing mementos like ticket stubs and postcards, and a world map to mark his destinations. A travel journal will allow him to relive his adventures while also providing a space for reflection and storytelling.

3. Portable Power Bank: When journeying, having a reliable source of power for electronic devices is essential. Give your son a portable power bank that can keep his smartphone, camera, or other devices charged on the go. Look for one with multiple USB ports, a high capacity battery, and a compact design for easy carrying.

4. Travel-inspired Jewelry: Consider gifting your son travel-inspired jewelry, such as a necklace with a pendant in the shape of a compass or a bracelet with charms representing different countries or landmarks. This gift will not only accessorize his outfits but also remind him of his passion for exploration.

5. Adventure Gear: Depending on the type of journeys your son enjoys, consider practical adventure gear tailored to his interests. For example, if he loves hiking, gift him a sturdy backpack or a pair of high-quality hiking boots. If he enjoys camping, consider a lightweight and durable tent or a portable camping stove.

6. Language Learning Resources: Help your son enhance his travel experiences by gifting language learning resources. Whether it's a language learning app, phrasebook, or an online course, these resources will enable him to communicate and connect with locals in foreign countries. Language skills can make traveling more immersive and enjoyable.

7. Travel-inspired Artwork: Consider giving your son a piece of travel-inspired artwork for his living space. It could be a framed vintage map, a canvas print of a breathtaking landscape, or a photograph capturing a favorite travel memory. This gift will not only decorate his space but also serve as a constant reminder of his passion for journeys.

Remember, when choosing a gift, consider your son's specific interests, the type of journeying he enjoys, and practical items that will enhance his experiences. By selecting a thoughtful and personalized gift, you'll show your son that you support and appreciate his love for exploration.

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.”
