Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys river rafting and adventure sports, there are several gift ideas that complement his interests and bring him joy and excitement:

1. Waterproof Action Camera: Capture his thrilling moments on the river with a waterproof action camera. This will allow him to relive his experiences and share them with others. GoPro is a popular brand with a variety of durable and high-quality models.

2. River Rafting Gear: Upgrade his river rafting equipment by selecting a gift from a range of options, such as a comfortable and durable life jacket, a waterproof dry bag to keep his belongings safe, or even a high-quality paddle designed specifically for river running.

3. Adventure Books: Inspire your son's sense of adventure with books that explore the world of river rafting and adventure sports. Some popular titles include "The Emerald Mile" by Kevin Fedarko, "The River Why" by David James Duncan, or "No Barriers" by Erik Weihenmayer.

4. Outdoor Adventure Trip: Surprise him with an adventure-filled trip! Research different river rafting destinations that offer thrilling whitewater experiences. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a longer excursion, this gift will create memories that last a lifetime.

5. Go Rafting Experience: If a full-fledged trip is not possible, consider booking him a river rafting experience with a reputable adventure sports company. This allows him to have a thrilling day on the river, even if it's closer to home.

6. Adventure Sports Magazine Subscription: Keep him inspired all year round with a subscription to an adventure sports magazine. Some popular options include Outside Magazine, Adventure Sports Journal, or Paddler Magazine. He'll enjoy reading about new techniques, gear, and stories from fellow adventurers.

7. Personalized Adventure Map: Create a personalized adventure map highlighting his favorite rivers, hikes, and outdoor activities. Include locations he has explored and mark the ones he wishes to visit. This custom-made map can be framed and serve as a reminder of his passion for adventure.

8. River Rafting Artwork: Seek out artwork or prints that feature river rafting and adventure sports. This unique and thoughtful gift can be displayed in his room or home office, showcasing his love for the sport.

Remember to always emphasize safety when participating in adventure sports. This could involve getting him a quality safety whistle, a first aid kit specifically designed for outdoor activities, or even enrolling him in a river rescue or wilderness first aid course.

By giving a gift that aligns with his love for river rafting and adventure sports, you'll not only show your support for his interests but also provide him with valuable tools and experiences for his future adventures.

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.”
