Five Star Gift Ideas

That's wonderful to hear that your son enjoys volunteering for a charity organization! It shows his kind and compassionate nature. When it comes to finding a meaningful and personal gift for him, there are a few directions you could consider.

1. Customized Volunteer Apparel: To highlight his dedication to charity work, you can get him some customized volunteer apparel. This could be a t-shirt, hoodie, or hat with the logo of the charity he volunteers for or a catchy slogan related to volunteering. This way, he can proudly display his commitment every time he volunteers and spread awareness about the cause.

2. Donation in His Name: Another thoughtful idea is to make a donation in your son's name to the charity he volunteers for. This gesture not only supports the organization but also acknowledges your son's efforts in making a difference. Most charities have options to make donations on their websites, and they often provide certificates or acknowledgments that can serve as a tangible reminder of his impact.

3. Volunteering Experience: Consider gifting your son the opportunity to further expand his volunteering experiences. Look for opportunities within the organization he already volunteers for or explore different charities in your area that align with his interests. Signing him up for a special hands-on volunteering project or giving him a gift certificate for volunteering hours could be a great way to encourage and support his passion.

4. Volunteer Training or Workshop: Many charitable organizations offer training programs or workshops for volunteers to develop their skills. Consider enrolling your son in a volunteer training course relevant to his interests. This can enhance his knowledge and expertise in the charity sector, enabling him to contribute even more effectively in the future.

5. Volunteer-themed Books or Journals: If your son enjoys reading, consider selecting books about volunteering or personal stories of individuals who have made a difference through their charitable efforts. Additionally, you could give him a volunteer-themed journal where he can document his experiences, reflect on the impact he's made, and set new goals for his future volunteering endeavors.

Remember, the most meaningful gift for your son will be one that shows your support for his passion and recognizes the value he brings to the community through his volunteering efforts. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests and celebrates his commitment, you'll make him feel appreciated and encouraged 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.”
