Five Star Gift Ideas

That's wonderful that your son is passionate about volunteering for environmental causes. It's important to support and encourage his interests. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that align with his passion for the environment:

1. Donation to an environmental organization: Consider making a donation on behalf of your son to a reputable environmental organization. This not only supports their mission but also encourages his dedication to the cause. You can choose an organization that resonates with him, such as the World Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace, or the Sierra Club.

2. Eco-friendly outdoor gear: Since your son is actively involved in environmental causes, he likely spends a lot of time outdoors. Encourage his love for nature with eco-friendly outdoor gear, such as a sustainably made backpack, reusable water bottle, or solar-powered phone charger. These gifts not only reduce waste but also align with his environmental values.

3. Books on environmental activism: Inspire your son with educational and motivational books on environmental activism. Some recommendations include "The Uninhabitable Earth" by David Wallace-Wells, "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer, or "The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History" by Elizabeth Kolbert. These books provide valuable insight into environmental issues and can inspire him to make a difference.

4. Volunteer experience or eco-tourism trip: Consider gifting your son a volunteer experience or an eco-tourism trip. Look for local opportunities where he can volunteer for a day or participate in a sustainable project. Alternatively, you can plan a trip to an eco-friendly destination, where he can help preserve natural resources or contribute to local environmental initiatives.

5. Sustainable fashion or accessories: Encourage eco-conscious fashion choices with sustainable clothing or accessories. Look for brands that use organic or recycled materials, such as clothing made from bamboo, hemp, or recycled plastic bottles. Additionally, you can explore eco-friendly jewelry made from recycled metals or sustainable fabrics like cork or wood.

6. Membership to an environmental association: Consider gifting your son a membership to an environmental association or club. This would provide him with access to resources, networking opportunities, and updates on environmental initiatives. It's a valuable gift that can help him stay connected with like-minded individuals and expand his knowledge in the field.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your support and encouragement for your son's passion for environmental causes. These gift ideas not only align with his interests but also enable him to make a positive impact on the planet.

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.”
