Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, there are several thoughtful and practical gift options that will enhance his experience and show your understanding of his hobbies. Consider these gift ideas that align with his interests:

1. Dry Bag: A durable and waterproof dry bag will keep his essentials, such as phone, keys, and snacks, safe and dry while he's out on the water. Opt for a bag with adjustable straps that can be worn as a backpack or crossbody for convenience.

2. Waterproof Phone Case: Ensure your son can capture his paddleboarding adventures without worrying about water damage to his phone. A high-quality waterproof phone case with a lanyard will keep his device secure and dry, allowing him to document his trips.

3. Paddleboard or Kayak Accessories: Help enhance his paddleboarding or kayaking experience with some useful accessories. Consider gifting him a comfortable seat with back support for prolonged kayaking sessions, paddleboard roof racks for easy transportation, or paddleboard fins to improve maneuverability and stability.

4. Paddle or Kayak Gear: Upgrade his paddle or kayak gear by gifting him a high-quality carbon fiber paddle, which is lightweight and offers excellent performance. Alternatively, consider getting him a neoprene spray skirt for kayaking or a durable leash for stand-up paddleboarding.

5. Waterproof Action Camera: A waterproof action camera will enable your son to capture stunning videos and photos while engaging in his favorite water activities. Look for a camera that offers features like image stabilization and 4K resolution for optimal quality footage.

6. Navigation Tools: Help your son navigate his way on the water with a waterproof compass or a GPS device specifically designed for paddleboarding or kayaking. Such tools will not only enhance his safety but also allow him to explore new locations confidently.

7. Paddleboarding or Kayaking Apparel: Consider gifting him specialized apparel designed for his favorite water activities. Look for quick-dry and moisture-wicking shirts, rashguards, or board shorts that offer sun protection and maximum comfort during long days on the water.

8. Paddleboarding or Kayaking Lessons: If your son is eager to improve his skills or explore new techniques, consider gifting him a series of lessons or workshops with a professional instructor. This thoughtful gesture will allow him to learn from a pro and take his paddleboarding or kayaking to the next level.

Remember to consider your son's specific needs and preferences while choosing a gift. Whether it's an essential accessory, a gear upgrade, or an opportunity to learn, your thoughtful gift will demonstrate your support for his hobbies and passions.

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.”
