Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who loves traveling to new and exotic destinations, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas that he might appreciate:

1. Scratch-off World Map: This is a fun and interactive way for your son to keep track of the countries he has visited. Each time he visits a new destination, he can scratch off the corresponding area on the map, revealing colorful details underneath. It can serve as a visual reminder of his adventures and inspire him to explore new places.

2. Travel Journal: A travel journal is a great gift for someone who loves to document their experiences. Look for a journal that includes prompts for capturing memories, writing down reflections, and even sticking in favorite photos or souvenirs. Your son can use it to record his travel stories, highlight standout moments, and keep a record of his favorite destinations.

3. Travel-inspired Jewelry: Consider getting him a piece of jewelry that reflects his love for travel. For example, a compass necklace or a bracelet with charms representing different countries can serve as a constant reminder of his wanderlust. It will allow him to hold his passion close to his heart and spark conversations about his adventures when others notice it.

4. Portable Phone Charger: Every traveler knows the importance of having a reliable power source while on the go. A portable phone charger is a practical gift that ensures he remains connected during his trips, even when there's no access to power outlets. Look for a compact and high-capacity charger that will keep his devices charged up whether he's hiking in the mountains or exploring bustling cities.

5. Travel-themed Books: If your son enjoys reading, consider gifting him a selection of travel books from different authors or genres. Whether it's travel memoirs, adventure novels, or coffee table books filled with stunning photographs of various destinations, these books can inspire his wanderlust and provide endless hours of reading pleasure during his travels or at home.

6. Adventure Experiences: Instead of a physical gift, consider gifting your son an adventure experience that aligns with his love for travel. It could be something like a hot air balloon ride, a helicopter tour, or a scuba diving excursion in a famous diving destination. Look for unique experiences in destinations he has mentioned wanting to visit or choose something that he may not have thought of on his own.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your son that you understand and support his passion for travel. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests, you are not only giving him something he will enjoy but also acknowledging and celebrating his adventurous spirit.

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.”
