Five Star Gift Ideas

Finding a meaningful and personal Christmas gift for your son who enjoys urban exploration and rooftopping can be an exciting endeavor. Gifting something related to his passion not only shows your thoughtfulness but also encourages his adventurous spirit. Here are a few gift ideas that might be perfect for him:

1. Photography Gear: Urban exploration and rooftopping often involve capturing stunning views and unique landscapes. Consider upgrading his photography equipment with a new camera, lenses, or tripod, enabling him to capture his adventures in even more detail. You could also look for additional accessories like a camera bag or memory cards.

2. GoPro or Drone: These compact, portable cameras are perfect for capturing moments during rooftopping and urban exploration. Your son would appreciate the versatility, durability, and high-quality footage these devices provide. GoPro cameras are also compatible with various mounts, allowing him to capture different angles while climbing or exploring abandoned buildings.

3. Climbing Gear and Safety Equipment: Safety should be a priority during urban exploration, especially when rooftopping. Consider getting your son essential climbing gear such as climbing shoes, harnesses, carabiners, or a quality helmet. Additionally, a first aid kit would contribute to his overall safety and preparedness.

4. City Guides and Exploration Books: Help fuel your son's passion by gifting him city guides and exploration books. Choose books that showcase the history, hidden gems, and lesser-known spots of the cities he is interested in exploring. This will not only provide him with practical information but also inspire him to uncover new places.

5. Official Rooftopping Training: Urban exploration and rooftopping can be dangerous without proper knowledge and experience. If your son is serious about this hobby or looking to enhance his skills, consider enrolling him in an official rooftopping training or workshop. These courses teach safety techniques, navigation skills, and provide practical experience under professional guidance.

6. Subscription Box for Adventurers: A subscription box tailored for adventurers could be a fantastic gift choice. These boxes often include items like hiking gear, camping equipment, outdoor gadgets, and survival tools. Subscribing your son to such a service would ensure he receives a surprise package of useful and exciting items relevant to his hobbies regularly.

7. Customized Map or Wall Art: Celebrate your son's passion by commissioning a customized map or piece of wall art depicting his favorite cities or rooftopping experiences. You can work with a local artist to create a one-of-a-kind piece that captures the essence of his adventures.

Remember, the most significant gift you can give your son is support and encouragement in pursuing his interests. Alongside any physical gift, let him know that you appreciate his passion and are proud of his determination to explore and discover new places.

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.”
