Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is into survival skills, there are plenty of great gift options out there that can not only be fun but also enhance his knowledge and abilities in this field. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas for your son:

1. Outdoor Survival Kit: Consider buying him a comprehensive outdoor survival kit. These kits usually include essential items like a fire starter, compass, multi-tool, emergency blanket, and more. It will give him the tools he needs to tackle various survival situations and can come in handy during camping trips or adventures in the wilderness.

2. Survival books: Books can be a fantastic gift for someone interested in survival skills. Look for titles that cover a wide range of topics, such as wilderness survival, bushcraft techniques, edible plants, or first aid. This will allow him to further his knowledge and learn new skills from renowned experts in the field.

3. Wilderness First Aid Course: Enroll your son in a wilderness first aid course. This will not only expand his knowledge in survival skills but will also provide him with the skills to handle medical emergencies that could occur during outdoor adventures. It's a practical and potentially life-saving gift.

4. Outdoor gear: Help your son upgrade his outdoor gear collection. Look for durable and high-quality items like a waterproof backpack, sturdy hiking boots, a reliable camping tent, or a quality sleeping bag. These items will not only make his trips more comfortable but will also enhance his overall outdoor experience.

5. Subscription to survival magazines or websites: Consider gifting him a subscription to a survival magazine or website that publishes regular articles, tips, and techniques. This way, he can stay updated with the latest trends and developments in the survival community.

6. Survival courses or workshops: Look for local survival schools or organizations that offer courses or workshops on specific survival skills. This could include wilderness navigation, shelter construction, fire making, or foraging. Enroll your son in one of these courses to give him hands-on experience and the opportunity to learn from experienced instructors.

7. Outdoor tools and accessories: Consider practical tools that can be useful in survival situations, such as a high-quality knife, a portable water filter, a solar-powered charger, or a reliable headlamp. These items can significantly enhance his preparedness and survival kit.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is that it comes from the heart and aligns with your son's specific interests. By choosing a gift that caters to his passion for survival skills, you are not only providing him with something tangible but also showing that you support and encourage his hobbies and interests.

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.”
