Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys white water rafting, there are a number of thoughtful and useful gifts you could give this holiday season. Here are some ideas based on his interest:

1. A dry bag: White water rafting involves getting wet, and proper storage of important items can make all the difference in keeping them safe and dry. A dry bag would be an excellent gift, allowing him to keep his phone, wallet, and other essentials secure while on the river.

2. A new life jacket or helmet: Safety is key when it comes to white water rafting, and a high-quality life jacket or helmet can offer peace of mind. Consider upgrading your son's current equipment to a more advanced model, or investing in a new, high-quality piece altogether.

3. Lessons or guided tours: If your son is just starting out with white water rafting, lessons or a guided tour could be a valuable gift. This could help him learn about safety and technique, as well as discover new rivers and environments to explore.

4. River guide book: For the adventurous white water rafter who loves discovering new rivers and routes, consider gifting a book of river guides. These books offer information on the best rapids, obstacles, and beautiful sights to see on different rivers around the world.

5. Customized paddle: A personalized paddle is a unique and meaningful gift that your son can use every time he hits the water. Consider having it engraved with his name, the names of his favorite rivers, or a quote that resonates with him.

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.”
