Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys road trips and traveling by car, there are plenty of thoughtful and practical gift ideas to consider. Here are some options that your son is sure to appreciate:

1. Scratch-off Map: A scratch-off map allows your son to document his road trips and adventures. He can scratch off the areas he's visited, creating a personalized and visually appealing way to keep track of his travels.

2. Road Trip Planner: Help your son plan his road trips effectively with a dedicated road trip planner. These planners often include sections for mapping out routes, recording expenses, and jotting down memorable moments.

3. Travel Journal: Encourage your son's love for road trips by gifting him a travel journal. He can document his experiences, write down interesting anecdotes, and capture memories from each trip. Look for a journal that has sections for daily reflections, maps, and even pockets for storing mementos like ticket stubs or postcards.

4. Roadside Emergency Kit: Since your son enjoys traveling by car, a roadside emergency kit would be a practical and thoughtful gift. Look for kits that include essentials like jumper cables, a tire inflator, first aid supplies, and a flashlight. This will ensure that he's prepared for unexpected situations during his road trips.

5. Portable Phone Mount: A portable phone mount can enhance your son's road trip experience by allowing him to easily navigate and access his phone while driving. Look for a mount that is easy to install and can securely hold any smartphone.

6. Travel-themed Books: If your son enjoys reading, consider gifting him some travel-themed books to inspire his wanderlust. Look for novels, memoirs, or even guidebooks featuring road trips and travel adventures. This will not only provide entertainment but also fuel his passion for exploring new places.

7. National Park Pass: If your son enjoys visiting national parks during his road trips, consider purchasing an annual pass for him. This pass will grant him access to various national parks across the country, allowing him to further indulge in his love for road trips and outdoor adventures.

8. Portable Camping Gear: If your son enjoys camping during his road trips, portable camping gear would be a fantastic gift. Look for compact and lightweight camping equipment like foldable chairs, camping cookware, or a portable hammock. These items will make his outdoor experience more comfortable and enjoyable.

Remember to consider your son's specific interests and needs when selecting a gift. The most meaningful gift will be one that aligns with his passion for road trips and enhances his experience on the open road.

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.”
