Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys staycationing, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that could enhance his experience. Here are a few options:

1. Digital Photo Frame: Help your son preserve his staycation memories by giving him a digital photo frame. He can load it with his favorite photos from past staycations or use it to display new memories as he continues to explore new local destinations.

2. Local Experiences: Research and book unique local experiences that align with his interests. Whether it's a cooking class, brewery tour, or a guided hike to a scenic spot in your area, these experiences can make his staycations more exciting and interactive.

3. Staycation Essentials: Put together a staycation kit filled with essentials such as a cozy blanket, scented candles, a selection of his favorite snacks, a local guidebook, and a relaxing playlist. This thoughtful gift will create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere during his staycations.

4. Airbnb Gift Card: Purchase an Airbnb gift card so that your son can choose and book a staycation rental that suits his preferences. This allows him to explore different neighborhoods or areas within your city and gives him the opportunity to personalize his staycation experience.

5. Customized Map: Consider creating a customized map featuring his favorite staycation spots or areas he's yet to explore. Highlight specific attractions or activities he enjoys, and you can even include little notes or memories associated with these places. This unique gift will show your thoughtfulness and remind him of the fun staycations he's had or can look forward to.

6. Subscription Box: Look for a subscription box that aligns with his interests, such as a local foodie box, a relaxation box with self-care products, or a book-lover's subscription. This gift would provide him with a regular dose of enjoyment and discovery during his staycations.

7. Local Travel Guide: Purchase a comprehensive travel guidebook specifically focused on your area. Look for one that covers hidden gems, local attractions, and lesser-known spots to make his staycations even more adventurous. This gift will inspire him to explore new areas and discover unique experiences within your city or region.

Remember, the key is to make his staycations more enjoyable and personalized. Choose a gift that aligns with his preferences and helps him create memorable experiences without leaving his home city.

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.”
