Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is passionate about board sports like skateboarding and snowboarding, there are plenty of gift options that can enhance his experiences and show your support for his hobbies. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas to consider for your son this Christmas:

1. Skateboard/Snowboard Gear: To enhance his performances, you can invest in high-quality skateboard or snowboard gear. Look for a new deck or a set of wheels for skateboarding, or consider purchasing new bindings or boots for snowboarding. These upgrades can improve his overall riding experience and demonstrate your understanding of his passion.

2. Protective Gear: Safety should always be a priority, especially when participating in intense board sports. Consider gifting him a set of protective gear, such as a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, or wrist guards. This not only shows your concern for his well-being but also ensures he can enjoy his sports with reduced risk of injury.

3. Skateboarding/Snowboarding Lessons: If your son wants to take his skills to the next level, consider booking a lesson or a group session with a professional instructor. This can provide an opportunity for him to refine his techniques, learn new tricks, and gain valuable knowledge from an expert. It's an investment in his growth as a board sports enthusiast.

4. GoPro Camera or Accessory: Encourage your son to capture and share his boarding adventures with a GoPro camera or an accessory kit. These cameras are perfect for documenting tricks, riding footage, and capturing memories. The various mounts and accessories available allow for versatile usage, ensuring he can record from different angles and in different environments.

5. Customized Board Gear: Personalize your son's skateboarding or snowboarding gear by getting it customized. Consider adding his name, favorite quotes, or graphics that reflect his personality or interests. Customized grips, stickers, or patches for his skateboard, or custom-designed topsheets for his snowboard, make for unique and thoughtful gifts that show you've put thought into his present.

6. Board Sports Merchandise: Find out your son's favorite board sports brands and get him some merchandise such as t-shirts, hoodies, hats, or backpacks. Wearing the logo or representing the brands he admires can be a source of pride and a way for him to showcase his passion for board sports.

7. Magazine Subscriptions: Subscribe to a skateboarding or snowboarding magazine that aligns with his interests. This will keep him updated on the latest trends, gear, and news, while also providing inspiration and motivation for his own riding.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and effort you put into it. If you can show that you understand and support your son's passion for board sports, he will appreciate the meaningful and personal gift you choose for him this Christmas.

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.”
