Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who is passionate about skateboarding and longboarding, there are plenty of thoughtful and exciting gift ideas to consider. These gifts will not only enhance his skateboarding experience but also showcase your understanding and support for his hobbies. Here are a few ideas:

1. New Skateboard Deck: A brand new skateboard deck can totally transform his riding experience. Look for a high-quality deck in his favorite design or a limited edition graphic. Consider his preferred style of riding (street, park, or vert) to find the most suitable deck.

2. Longboard: If your son enjoys cruising and long-distance rides, a longboard can be a great gift. Look for one with a sturdy construction, smooth wheels, and a design that matches his style. You can even opt for a customizable longboard, allowing him to personalize it further.

3. Skateboard Maintenance Kit: Help him keep his skateboard in perfect condition with a maintenance kit. Include tools like skate tools, bearing lubricants, grip tape, and cleaning solutions. This gift will not only show your support but also promote a sense of responsibility towards his gear.

4. Protective Gear: Safety should always come first. Provide your son with proper protective gear such as a helmet, knee and elbow pads, and wrist guards to ensure he enjoys his rides without the risk of injuries. Look for gear that is durable, comfortable, and designed specifically for skateboarding.

5. Skate Clothing and Merchandise: Help him showcase his passion for skateboarding with trendy skate clothing and accessories. Look for skate brands he admires and consider getting him a t-shirt, hoodie, or a hat. You can also look for skateboarding-themed merchandise like posters or stickers to decorate his room.

6. Skateboarding Magazine Subscription: Encourage his love for skateboarding by subscribing him to a skateboarding magazine. This will keep him updated with the latest trends, tricks, and stories from the skateboarding community. It's a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year.

7. Skateboarding Lessons: If your son is looking to improve his skills or try out new tricks, consider enrolling him in skateboarding lessons. Look for local skate parks or academies that offer lessons tailored to different levels of expertise. This gift will not only provide him with valuable guidance but also allow him to interact with other skateboarders in the community.

8. Skateboarding Video Games: If he enjoys gaming, consider getting him a skateboarding video game. There are various options available, like the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series or Skater XL, that offer realistic virtual experiences of skateboarding.

Remember that the most meaningful gifts often come from understanding someone's passions and interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with your son's love for skateboarding and longboarding, you're not only giving him something he'll enjoy but also showing your support and encouragement for his hobbies.

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.”
