Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys picnicking, there are plenty of thoughtful and practical gift options you can consider that will enhance his picnicking experiences. Here are a few ideas:

1. Picnic Backpack: A high-quality picnic backpack with dedicated compartments for cutlery, plates, glasses, and a built-in cooler will make it easier for your son to organize and carry his picnic essentials. Look for one that is durable, waterproof, and has adjustable straps for added comfort.

2. Outdoor Blanket: A cozy and waterproof outdoor blanket is essential for a comfortable picnic. Opt for a large-sized blanket with a soft, plush surface on one side and a water-resistant bottom to protect against damp ground. Bonus points if it comes with its own carrying case for easy transport.

3. Portable Grill: If your son enjoys barbecuing during his picnics, consider gifting him a portable grill. Look for compact grills that are easy to assemble, lightweight, and have adjustable temperature controls. Choose one with a carrying case or storage bag for convenience.

4. Picnic Food Hamper: Put together a personalized picnic food hamper filled with your son's favorite snacks, beverages, and treats. Consider adding artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, fresh fruits, gourmet sandwiches, homemade cookies, or even a bottle of his favorite wine or craft beer. This thoughtful and indulgent gift will allow him to enjoy a delicious picnic experience right away.

5. Outdoor Speaker: Help elevate your son's picnicking ambiance by gifting him a waterproof and portable outdoor speaker. Look for one that has good sound quality, long battery life, and Bluetooth connectivity. This way, he can enjoy his favorite tunes while picnicking in any outdoor setting.

6. Insulated Tumbler or Thermos: To keep drinks hot or cold during picnics, an insulated tumbler or thermos is a practical gift idea. Look for options with leak-proof lids, durable construction, and vacuum insulation technology. Choose a design or color that reflects your son's personality or favorite sports team.

7. Picnic Accessory Set: Put together a picnic accessory set with essentials like reusable cutlery, plates, cups, napkins, and a wine opener. Consider eco-friendly options made from bamboo or stainless steel for sustainability. Bundle them in a stylish picnic basket or tote bag for a complete and thoughtful gift.

Remember, incorporating personal touches and tailoring the gift to your son's preferences is key. By considering his unique style, favorite picnic spots, or favorite outdoor activities, you can choose a gift that will make his picnicking experiences even more enjoyable and memorable.

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.”
