Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves learning to surf or skateboarding, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that will make his Christmas special. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Surf/Skateboard Lessons: One great gift idea is to surprise him with surf or skateboard lessons. Enroll him in a local surf school or find a reputable skateboarding instructor who can teach him new tricks. This experience will not only enhance his skills but also allow him to interact with fellow enthusiasts and passionate instructors.

2. Skate/Surf Equipment: Another practical gift idea is to upgrade his skate or surf gear. Consider buying him a new skateboard deck or surfboard that suits his skill level and preferences. You can also look for accessories like new wheels, trucks, pads, or a wetsuit to enhance his experience and safety while he indulges in his favorite activities.

3. Surf/Skate Clothing: Help him look stylish while pursuing his passions with surf or skate clothing. You can invest in a trendy hoodie or t-shirt featuring his favorite surf or skate brand. Additionally, accessories like hats, socks, and sunglasses can be perfect stocking stuffers.

4. Magazine Subscriptions: If your son loves to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and news in the surfing or skateboarding world, consider gifting him a subscription to a surf or skateboarding magazine. This way, he can have a regular supply of articles, interviews, and photographs to indulge in, which will keep him inspired and motivated.

5. Action Camera: Help your son capture and relive his best surfing or skateboarding moments with an action camera. These compact cameras can be attached to helmets, surfboards, or skateboards to capture videos and photos, enabling him to preserve memories and share his experiences with friends and family.

6. Skate/Surf Art: Consider purchasing art pieces or posters that highlight the beauty and essence of surfing or skateboarding. This can add a touch of inspiration to his room and remind him of his passion every day.

7. Books on Surfing/Skateboarding: If your son enjoys reading, gift him books about the history, techniques, and adventures of surfing or skateboarding. There are plenty of biographies, how-to guides, and coffee table books available that can further fuel his love for these sports.

8. Personalized Gear: Add a personal touch to his gear by getting his skateboard deck or surfboard customized with his name, a meaningful quote, or a graphic design of his choice. You can also consider personalized accessories like a keychain or wallet with his name or initials engraved on them.

The key to finding the perfect gift for your son is to understand his specific interests within these activities and tailor your gift accordingly. By considering his preferences, you can make this Christmas memorable and show your support for his hobbies.

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.”
