Five Star Gift Ideas

That's wonderful to hear that your son has a passion for volunteer work. For someone who enjoys giving back to their community, there are several meaningful gift ideas that can help him continue making a difference in the lives of others.

1. Personalized Volunteer T-shirt: Consider getting a customized t-shirt with his name on it and a powerful message related to volunteerism. This gift can serve as a reminder of his commitment to making a positive impact in the world.

2. Volunteer Abroad Experience: If your son has expressed a desire to volunteer abroad, consider gifting him an opportunity to do so. There are various organizations that offer volunteer programs in different parts of the world, allowing him to experience different cultures while making a difference.

3. Donations in His Name: Instead of a physical gift, you could make a donation to a charity or organization that aligns with his interests and values on his behalf. This not only supports causes that he cares about but also shows him that you value and appreciate his dedication to volunteer work.

4. Volunteer Gear: Encourage him to proudly display his commitment to volunteerism by gifting him some volunteer gear such as a backpack, water bottle, or cap with the logo or slogan of his favorite organization. These items can be both practical and a source of inspiration.

5. Volunteering Toolkit: Put together a toolkit containing essential items that he may need while volunteering. This could include items such as a first aid kit, gloves, work gloves, a reusable water bottle, and a notebook for taking notes or jotting down ideas during his volunteer work.

6. Volunteer Books: Consider gifting him with inspiring books that shed light on different volunteer experiences. These books can provide guidance, inspiration, and stories of successful community initiatives that can fuel his passion for volunteerism.

7. Skill-Enhancement Courses: Help your son further develop his skills for volunteer work by enrolling him in courses or workshops that focus on areas like leadership, community development, or project management. This would enable him to make a more significant impact in his volunteer efforts.

8. Volunteer Subscription Box: Subscription boxes have become increasingly popular, so why not gift him a subscription to a volunteer-themed box? This type of gift can include items such as fair-trade products, ethical fashion, and merchandise supporting various causes, inspiring him to continue making a difference.

Remember, the best gift is one that aligns with your son's interests and values. By choosing a meaningful gift that supports his passion for volunteer work, you will not only show that you appreciate his interests but also provide him with tools and opportunities to continue making a positive impact in the world.

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.”
