Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys skateboarding and mastering tricks, there are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that could enhance his skating experience and show your support for his passion. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Skateboarding Gear: Consider investing in high-quality skateboarding gear such as a new skateboard deck, trucks, wheels, or bearings. You can find out his preferred brands or models by subtly asking him, or even take him to a skate shop and let him choose the gear he needs.

2. Skateboarding Tools: Every skater needs a set of tools to maintain their skateboard. Look for a compact and durable skate tool that includes all the necessary features for adjusting trucks, tightening bolts, and swapping wheels. This gift will come in handy and show that you understand his needs as a skateboarder.

3. Skate Spot Guidebook: Skateboarders are always on the lookout for new and exciting spots to skate. Purchase a guidebook that features popular skateboarding locations in your area or even in different cities. This gift will not only inspire him to explore new spots but also encourage him to continue progressing his skills.

4. Skateboarding Lessons: If your son is eager to improve his skills, consider gifting him a set of skateboarding lessons with a professional instructor. This could be a one-time lesson or a series of sessions depending on your budget. It's a fantastic way to support his passion, help him perfect his technique, and connect with fellow skaters.

5. Skateboarding Apparel: Skateboarding is not just about the tricks but also about the fashion and culture that surrounds it. Consider purchasing some personalized skateboarding apparel such as t-shirts, hoodies, or hats with his favorite skateboarding brand's logo or artwork. Alternatively, you could also look for apparel with unique or customized designs that showcase his individuality and passion for the sport.

6. Skateboarding Video Games: If your son enjoys gaming as well as skateboarding, consider gifting him a skateboarding-themed video game. There are various options available, such as the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series or the Skate series that provide a virtual skateboarding experience. This gift will give him the opportunity to enjoy skateboarding even when he can't be out on his board.

7. Skateboarding Magazine Subscription: A magazine subscription focused on skateboarding is a great gift for your son. There are several skateboarding magazines that cover the latest news, stories, interviews with pro skaters, and tips for improving skills. It will keep him informed and inspired, and he can even cut out his favorite pictures to decorate his room or create a skateboarding scrapbook.

Remember, the most important aspect of gifting is showing your support and understanding for your son's passion. By selecting a gift that is related to skateboarding, you are acknowledging his interests and fueling his enthusiasm for the sport.

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.”
