Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has an interest in lock picking and locksmithing, there are a number of thoughtful gift ideas that can enhance his passion and provide him with new tools and knowledge. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Lock Pick Set: Invest in a high-quality lock pick set that includes a variety of picks, tension wrenches, and other accessories. Look for a set that offers a diverse range of tools to cater to different types of locks. This will allow him to further develop his skills and explore different techniques.

2. Lock Picking Practice Kit: Consider purchasing a lock picking practice kit, which typically includes a clear practice lock or a cutaway lock. This tool allows your son to observe the inner workings of a lock, providing him with a better understanding of its mechanisms. It also allows him to practice without damaging any real locks.

3. Beginner's Guide or Instructional Books: There are several books available that offer step-by-step guidance on lock picking techniques and locksmithing. Look for titles like "The Visual Guide to Lock Picking" or "Practical Lock Picking" that can provide valuable knowledge and serve as a reference for your son's hobby.

4. Locksmithing Tools: Consider gifting your son specific locksmithing tools that are used for tasks such as key cutting, rekeying, or lock installation. This could include items like a key cutting machine, a plug follower set, or a pinning kit. These tools will allow your son to expand his locksmithing skills and pursue more advanced projects.

5. Locksmithing Courses or Workshops: Look for local or online locksmithing courses or workshops that your son can enroll in. These classes can provide him with hands-on experience, interaction with experts in the field, and the opportunity to learn advanced techniques. It's a great way to take his passion to the next level.

6. Subscription Box: Consider signing your son up for a subscription box tailored to his interest in locksmithing and lock picking. These subscription boxes often include new locks to pick, practice tools, instructional materials, and other related items. This can provide him with a monthly surprise that keeps him engaged in his hobby.

Remember to encourage and support your son's interest in lock picking and locksmithing while emphasizing the importance of responsibility and ethical use of these skills. With the right tools and resources, your son can further develop his passion and potentially explore a future career in locksmithing or related fields.

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.”
