Five Star Gift Ideas

That's wonderful to hear that your son enjoys volunteering and helping out at local organizations and charities! It's always great to encourage and support his interests. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas for your son:

1. Donation in his name: Consider making a donation to a charity or organization that your son supports. This not only supports a cause he cares about but also acknowledges his passion for giving back. You can provide him with a certificate or receipt as a token of the donation made in his name.

2. Volunteer experience: Help your son have an even deeper impact by organizing a volunteer experience that aligns with his interests. Contact local organizations and arrange for him to volunteer with them for a day or longer. This personalized experience will allow him to engage directly with the cause he cares about and make a tangible difference.

3. Volunteering supplies: As a frequent volunteer, your son may require certain supplies or equipment to carry out his tasks effectively. Consider gifting him items like a durable backpack, reusable water bottle, first aid kit, or tools specific to the type of volunteering work he does. This practical gift not only shows your support but also helps him stay organized and prepared while volunteering.

4. Volunteer appreciation event: Organize an event to appreciate and recognize the efforts of volunteers in your community, including your son. It could be a small gathering at home or a community event where volunteers are honored for their contributions. This gesture will not only show your son how valued his efforts are but also inspire him to continue his volunteering journey.

5. Books on volunteering: Help your son expand his knowledge and understanding of the impact of volunteering by gifting him books related to the subject. There are numerous inspiring memoirs, self-help books, and accounts of individuals who have made a difference through their volunteering. These books can provide him with insights, ideas, and motivation to continue his journey of giving back.

6. Volunteer-themed merchandise: Show your support for your son's passion by gifting him volunteer-themed merchandise, such as t-shirts, hoodies, or accessories with empowering messages related to volunteering. Not only will these items reflect his interests, but they will also serve as conversation starters and help create awareness about the importance of volunteering.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that aligns with your son's interests and values. By understanding his passion for volunteering, you can choose a gift that not only recognizes his efforts but also encourages him 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.”
