Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who loves parkour, there are a variety of gift options that can enhance his practice and passion. Here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas for your son who enjoys parkour:

1. Parkour Shoes: A good pair of parkour shoes is essential for practicing this sport. Look for shoes that provide excellent grip, flexibility, and protection. Brands like Vibram, Five Ten, or Merrell offer durable and performance-oriented parkour shoes.

2. Parkour Training Gear: There are specific training tools designed to improve parkour skills. Consider gifting your son equipment like obstacle course kits, portable training bars, or balance trainers. These tools can help him enhance his core strength, balance, and movement abilities.

3. Parkour Classes: Enrolling your son in parkour classes can be a wonderful gift. It will provide him with professional training, access to proper facilities, and an opportunity to connect and learn from experienced parkour athletes. Look for local parkour schools or specialized gymnasiums that offer such classes.

4. Parkour Clothing: Comfortable and flexible clothing is crucial for practicing parkour. Consider gifting your son clothing items like stretchable joggers, moisture-wicking t-shirts, and compression sleeves. Look for brands that offer durable and functional sportswear.

5. Parkour Books and DVDs: There are numerous books and DVDs available that explore the history, techniques, and philosophy behind parkour. Consider gifting your son instructional guides, biographies of famous parkour athletes, or documentaries that offer insight into this dynamic sport.

6. GoPro or Action Camera: Parkour is all about movement and capturing those exhilarating moments can be incredible. A GoPro or an action camera will allow your son to record his runs and jumps, helping him analyze his performance and share it with friends and the parkour community.

7. Custom Parkour Gear: Consider personalized parkour gear to make your gift more special. You could get a customized parkour hoodie with his name or a favorite quote printed on it, a personalized water bottle, or even a custom-made parkour backpack that has compartments to carry his training essentials.

8. Parkour Training App: There are several smartphone apps available that provide tutorials, training plans, and progression tracking for parkour. Gifting your son a subscription to a parkour training app can help him stay motivated, learn new techniques, and monitor his progress.

9. Parkour Travel Experience: Consider planning a trip to a city known for its parkour community or a location with iconic parkour spots. This adventure will allow your son to explore new terrain, interact with fellow traceurs, and challenge himself in different environments.

10. Support and Encouragement: Lastly, never underestimate the power of support and encouragement. Show an interest in his progress, attend parkour events or competitions with him, and engage in conversations about his training. Your constant support will mean the world to him and inspire him to pursue his passion even further.

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.”
