Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves rafting and kayaking, here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas:

1. Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker: A waterproof speaker will enhance your son's outdoor adventure experience. He can listen to his favorite music while rafting or kayaking, making it even more enjoyable. Look for a durable and high-quality speaker that can withstand water splashes and rough handling.

2. Dry Bag: A dry bag is an essential item for water sports enthusiasts like your son. It provides waterproof protection for his personal belongings, such as his phone, wallet, and keys, keeping them safe and dry while he's out on the water.

3. GoPro or Action Camera: Help your son capture his adrenaline-filled moments with a GoPro or any other action camera. These cameras are designed to withstand extreme conditions and offer stunning high-resolution footage, allowing him to relive and share his rafting and kayaking adventures with family and friends.

4. Personalized Life Vest: Surprise your son with a personalized life vest that features his name or a special message. It not only ensures his safety while he's on the water but also adds a touch of personalization that makes the gift extra special.

5. Waterproof Phone Case: A waterproof phone case is a practical gift that will help protect your son's phone from water damage. Look for a case with a lanyard or armband attachment, making it convenient for him to carry and access his phone while engaging in water activities.

6. Outdoor Survival Kit: Equip your son with an outdoor survival kit that includes essentials like a compass, firestarter, knife, and emergency supplies. This gift demonstrates your thoughtfulness and concern for his safety during his adventures.

7. Gift Card for Rafting or Kayaking Experience: Consider giving your son a gift card for a rafting or kayaking trip with a reputable adventure company. This way, he can choose the location, level of difficulty, and date that suits his preferences, creating a memorable experience tailored to his liking.

8. Books and Magazines: Expand your son's knowledge and passion for rafting and kayaking by gifting him books and magazines related to these sports. There are adventure memoirs, instructional guides, and magazines packed with stories and insights that can inspire and educate him on his favorite hobbies.

Remember, to make the gift even more personal, consider including a heartfelt note expressing your love and support for his passion.

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.”
