Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is passionate about longboarding and skateboarding, there are plenty of thoughtful gift ideas that can enhance his experience and show your support for his hobbies. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Longboard Deck: A new longboard deck can make a fantastic gift. Look for a brand or design that aligns with your son's preferences in terms of size, shape, and graphics. This allows him to personalize his board and have a fresh canvas to display his style.

2. Skateboard Tools and Accessories: Every skateboarder needs the right tools to maintain their equipment. Consider gifting him a skate tool that includes everything he needs to adjust hardware and change wheels. Additional accessories such as grip tape, riser pads, or skate wax can also be practical and affordable options.

3. Protective Gear: Safety should always be a priority. Help your son stay protected as he enjoys his hobbies. Investing in a high-quality helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards can give you peace of mind and show that you care about his well-being.

4. Skate Shoes: Skateboarding can be tough on shoes, so a fresh pair of skate shoes can be a thoughtful gift. Look for durable brands that are known for their grip and support, ensuring comfort and performance while he rides.

5. Skateboard Backpack: A skateboard-specific backpack is a great gift idea for your son. Look for one with straps or loops designed to securely hold a skateboard, as well as compartments to carry his essentials like water bottles, phone, tools, and extra gear.

6. Skateboard Lessons or Camp: If your son is still developing his skills, consider arranging skateboarding lessons or enrolling him in a skateboarding camp. This is a gift that not only allows him to improve, but also provides new opportunities to meet other skateboarders and be part of a community.

7. Skateboarding Magazine Subscription: Keep your son inspired and fuel his passion for skateboarding by getting him a subscription to a reputable skateboarding magazine. These publications often feature interviews, gear reviews, and stunning photographs that will keep him engaged and connected to the skateboarding culture.

8. Skateboarding Merchandise: Browse online stores or local skate shops for merchandise from your son's favorite skateboard brands or professional skateboarders. T-shirts, hoodies, hats, stickers, and posters make for great stocking stuffers and show your support for his interests.

Remember, the most meaningful gift you can give is your encouragement and involvement. Take the time to watch him skate, ask him about his tricks or favorite skate spots, and maybe even join him for a session if you're up for it! Your interest and support will make his love for longboarding and skateboarding even more special.

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.”
