Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys paddleboarding and river rafting, I have a few gift ideas that will enhance his experiences and bring even more joy to his favorite activities.

1. Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker: A waterproof Bluetooth speaker is an excellent gift for your son. It will allow him to enjoy his favorite music while paddleboarding or rafting, adding a fun and energetic ambiance to his trips.

2. Dry Bag Backpack: A dry bag backpack would be a practical and thoughtful gift. It will keep his belongings dry and safe during his water-based adventures. Look for a spacious and durable backpack with multiple compartments to accommodate his gear.

3. GoPro Camera: A GoPro camera is a perfect gift for any adventurer, including your son. It will allow him to capture memorable moments while paddleboarding or rafting, offering stunning shots from unique angles. He can relive those incredible experiences and share them with friends and family.

4. Paddleboarding Lesson or Guided River Rafting Trip: Consider gifting your son an experience rather than a physical item. Arrange for him to take a paddleboarding lesson from a professional instructor or book a guided river rafting trip. This will provide him with new techniques, knowledge, and the chance to meet like-minded people who share his passion.

5. Paddleboarding/Rafting Accessories: Help your son upgrade his paddleboarding or rafting gear by gifting him useful accessories. Some great options include a comfortable and lightweight life jacket, a high-quality paddle, a waterproof phone case to keep his phone safe, or a traction pad for his paddleboard.

6. Outdoor Waterproof Blanket: An outdoor waterproof blanket would make a practical gift for your son. He can use it to relax on rocky riverbanks after his paddleboarding or rafting trips, sit by a campfire, or have a cozy picnic with friends. Look for one that is easy to fold and carry, with a waterproof backing for added convenience.

7. Subscription to Adventure Magazines: Consider getting your son a subscription to adventure-related magazines. This way, he can read inspiring stories, learn about new destinations, and stay up to date with the latest trends and gear in the paddleboarding and river rafting community.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows your understanding and support for your son's passions. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests in paddleboarding and river rafting, you're sure to bring a big smile to his face this Christmas.

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.”
