Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys letterboxing and treasure hunting, I have a few gift ideas that would align perfectly with his interests. These suggestions will not only enhance his experiences but also ignite his passion for adventure.

1. Letterboxing Starter Kit: Help your son dive deeper into the world of letterboxing by gifting him a starter kit. This kit typically includes a logbook, a rubber stamp, ink pads, and clues to hidden letterboxes. It will provide him with the essentials needed to begin his own letterboxing journey, encouraging him to explore different trails and solve challenging clues.

2. Outdoor Gear: As an adventurer, your son may appreciate high-quality outdoor gear. Consider gifting him a durable backpack with multiple compartments for storing his treasure hunting tools, such as a compass, magnifying glass, and binoculars. A sturdy flashlight or headlamp will also prove useful during his outdoor expeditions.

3. Guidebooks and Maps: Help your son discover new letterboxing locations and enhance his treasure hunting skills by giving him guidebooks and detailed maps. These resources not only offer valuable information about various letterboxing trails but can also provide inspiring stories and tips from experienced letterboxers.

4. Customized Rubber Stamp: A personalized rubber stamp adds a unique touch to your son's letterboxing adventures. Consider creating a custom stamp with his initials or a design that reflects his interests. Every time he finds a letterbox, he can mark his logbook and leave his personalized mark behind, adding excitement and a sense of ownership to his journey.

5. Subscription to a Treasure Hunting Magazine: A subscription to a treasure hunting or geocaching magazine will keep your son inspired and informed about the latest developments in the field. These publications often feature interviews with experienced treasure hunters, tips for solving complex puzzles, and detailed information about upcoming events and challenges.

6. Geocaching App: Geocaching is another popular treasure hunting activity that your son may enjoy. Gift him a subscription to a geocaching app that offers a wide range of caches to discover and solve. A geocaching app allows him to explore new areas, interact with other treasure hunters, and engage in exciting challenges.

7. Letterboxing Workshop or Event: Depending on where you live, there may be letterboxing workshops or events taking place in your area. Gifting your son a ticket to one of these events will provide him with the opportunity to meet other letterboxers, learn new techniques, and expand his knowledge and skills in the field.

Remember, the most meaningful gifts are the ones that reflect your son's interests and passions. By choosing a gift that aligns with his love for letterboxing and treasure hunting, you are not only showing your support for his hobbies but also encouraging him to pursue his adventurous spirit.

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.”
