Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who loves outdoor camping and survival skills, there are plenty of gift options available that will not only enhance his experiences but also show your support for his hobbies and interests. Here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas to consider:

1. Camping Gear: Help him upgrade his camping gear with high-quality and durable equipment. Consider items like a lightweight and waterproof camping tent, a warm sleeping bag, a portable camping stove or grill, a multi-tool kit, and a GPS device. These essentials will make his camping trips safer and more enjoyable.

2. Survival Kit: Put together a personalized survival kit for him. Include items such as a reliable pocket knife, a firestarter, paracord, a compass, a first aid kit, a water purification system, and some energy bars. This useful and practical gift will not only complement his survival skills but also give you peace of mind knowing he has the necessary tools in case of emergencies.

3. Outdoor Clothing: Help him stay comfortable and protected during his outdoor adventures by gifting him appropriate clothing. Consider items like moisture-wicking and insulating base layers, a durable and waterproof outer shell, a warm and lightweight down jacket, quick-drying hiking pants, and reliable hiking boots. Opt for brands known for their quality and durability to ensure longevity.

4. Camping Cookware: Cooking delicious meals while camping adds to the overall experience. Gift him a portable and lightweight camping cookware set that includes a pot, pan, utensils, and bowls. Look for cookware with non-stick coating and foldable handles for easy storage and cleaning.

5. Outdoor Books and Guides: Fuel his passion for outdoor camping and survival skills by giving him educational and informative books on those subjects. Look for titles like "The Complete Survival Manual" by National Geographic, "Bushcraft 101" by Dave Canterbury, or "The Backpacker's Field Manual" by Rick Curtis. These books will not only expand his knowledge but also provide valuable tips and advice.

6. Adventure Experiences: Consider giving him the gift of adventure with a voucher for an outdoor activity or experience. This could be a guided hike, a survival skills workshop, a camping trip to a national park, or even a weekend getaway to a remote cabin. These experiences will allow him to further develop his skills, learn from experts, and create unforgettable memories.

Remember, the best gift is always one that aligns with his interests and passions. By choosing something that supports and encourages his love for outdoor camping and survival skills, you're not only giving a material item but also showing your understanding and appreciation for his hobbies.

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.”
