Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for volunteering and charity work, a meaningful and personal gift idea could be to support his endeavors and amplify his impact. Here are a few suggestions that could make his volunteer experience even more fulfilling:

1. Fund a Volunteer Trip: Offer to cover the expenses for your son to participate in a volunteer trip abroad or even within your own community. Research reputable organizations that align with his interests and select a project that he would find particularly meaningful. Not only will this gift allow him to make a difference firsthand, but it will also provide him with an opportunity to immerse himself in different cultures and gain a broader perspective on global issues.

2. Volunteer Together: Share a special experience with your son by volunteering together. Find a local charity or organization that you both resonate with and spend a day or even a weekend volunteering side by side. This not only allows you to bond as a family but also shows your son that you support and appreciate his passion for giving back.

3. Donate to His Favorite Cause: Discover if there is a specific charity or cause that your son is particularly passionate about and make a donation in his name. Ensure that the organization aligns with his values and objectives. You can either make a one-time donation or set up a recurring monthly donation to provide ongoing support to a cause that he cares deeply about.

4. Attend a Volunteer Training or Workshop: Help your son enhance his skills and knowledge in the field of volunteering by enrolling him in a relevant training or workshop. There are various online and in-person courses available that focus on areas like community development, nonprofit management, or social entrepreneurship. This gift will empower him with the tools and resources to further his impact in the future.

5. Create a Volunteer Kit: Assemble a personalized volunteer kit for your son, containing essentials he may need while volunteering. Include items such as a durable backpack, a reusable water bottle, a first aid kit, a notebook and pen, and a small toolkit. Additionally, you can include a book or a journal that inspires him to continue making a difference in the world and chronicle his volunteer experiences.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that aligns with your son's interests and values. By supporting his passion for volunteering and charity work, you are not only encouraging his altruistic spirit but also nurturing his personal growth and empathy towards others.

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.”
