Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys urban exploration and parkour, here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas to consider:

1. Urban Exploration Gear: Help him navigate through urban environments safely with specialized gear. Gift him a sturdy backpack with multiple compartments to carry his essentials, such as a water bottle, flashlight, first aid kit, and a portable charger. A durable pair of gloves with good grip will also come in handy during his expeditions.

2. Parkour Training Classes: Enroll him in local parkour training classes, where he can learn new techniques and improve his skills. Attendees of such classes often build a strong sense of community, making this gift not only physically beneficial but also socially enriching. Alternatively, you can hire a parkour instructor for a private session to provide personalized coaching.

3. Parkour Equipment: Enhance his parkour training with the right equipment. Consider getting him a parkour training set that includes items such as balance trainers, foam blocks for practicing jumps, a sturdy parkour rail, and mats for safe landings. These tools will allow him to train efficiently and comfortably in a controlled environment.

4. Photography/GoPro Equipment: If your son enjoys capturing his urban exploration adventures, consider investing in photography equipment that can help him document his experiences. A GoPro camera with a stabilizing mount or a drone with a good camera would provide him with exciting perspectives and high-quality footage of his parkour stunts and urban exploration findings.

5. Gift Card for Outdoor Gear Stores: Let your son choose his own gear by giving him a gift voucher for outdoor gear stores. This will allow him the freedom to select specific items he needs or desires, such as climbing equipment, specialized shoes, or clothing designed for parkour activities.

6. Inspiring Books and Documentaries: Fuel his passion for urban exploration and parkour with books and documentaries about famous explorers or parkour athletes. "The World’s Most Dangerous Places" by Robert Young Pelton or "Parkour Strength Training: Overcome Obstacles for Fun and Fitness" by Ryan Ford are great options. These sources of inspiration can provide new ideas, insights, and motivation for his own adventures.

7. Personalized Gear: Surprise him with personalized gear, such as a custom-made parkour t-shirt, hoodie, or backpack. You can have his name, a quote, or a symbol related to his interests and passion printed or embroidered on the item. This personalized touch will make him feel extra special while doing what he loves.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your son that you support and encourage his interests. By selecting a gift that aligns with his passion for urban exploration and parkour, you're not only providing him with useful tools or experiences but also showing that you pay attention to and value his hobbies.

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.”
