Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys train spotting, there are several great gift ideas you can consider that would help him in pursuing his hobby.

1. Train Spotting Book - Consider getting a book about trains that covers the history of each type of train, as well as their technical specifications. This would help him identify trains and expand his knowledge.

2. Train Models - Your son may enjoy building train models. You could find a model train kit in his area of interest, such as those related to the era, type or size of trains he likes most.

3. Train Spotting Notebook - Buying a notebook that he can take along with him while train spotting would be a great option. He can use it to write down train numbers, details, or simply sketching them. Getting a book personalized with his name would make it extra special.

4. Train Spotting Gear - Consider buying him a camera with an excellent zoom lens, binoculars or a telescope so he can get closer to trains from a distance. These tools could help him better capture a train, or feel like he's right beside it.

5. Train Themed Clothing - Buy apparel that fits the train-spotting theme. Some genuinely great gift ideas could be a T-shirt with train silhouettes, or even a baseball cap featuring train logos.

Knowing what your son is interested in helps towards getting the perfect gift, and even if it isn't something he expects, it's often the thought and effort behind the gifts that makes them memorable. Above all, this should encourage him to continue pursuing his hobby and even make valuable memories and experiences along the way.

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.”
