Five Star Gift Ideas

That's wonderful that your son enjoys community service! It shows that he has a caring and compassionate nature. Here are a few gift ideas that could align with his interests:

1. Volunteer Experience: Consider finding a local organization that he can volunteer with. Look for opportunities that match his interests, such as volunteering at a local food bank, animal shelter, or community center. This will not only allow him to pursue his passion for community service but also provide him with valuable experiences and connections.

2. Donation on his behalf: Another meaningful gift idea could be to make a donation to a cause or charity that he cares about. You can choose an organization that aligns with his interests or supports a cause he is passionate about. It shows that you recognize and support his dedication to community service and allows him to make an impact on a larger scale.

3. Personalized Volunteer Supplies: Since your son is passionate about community service, providing him with personalized volunteer supplies can be a practical and thoughtful gift. This could include a volunteer t-shirt or hoodie, a reusable water bottle, a tote bag, or a journal to document his volunteer experiences. You could even consider getting these items customized with his name or a meaningful quote to make them extra special.

4. Books on Philanthropy and Social Activism: If your son enjoys reading, consider gifting him a book or two on philanthropy, social activism, or community service. There are many inspiring and informative books out there that could further fuel his passion and provide him with insights on how he can make a difference in the world.

5. Experience-based Gifts: Consider gifting your son an experience that allows him to give back in a different way. For example, you could plan a volunteer trip together to help a community in need, participate in a fundraising event, or attend a conference or workshop centered around community service. These experiences can create lasting memories and provide him with new perspectives and skills.

Remember, the most important aspect of a gift is the thought behind it. Showing that you support and appreciate your son's dedication to community service will undoubtedly make the gift meaningful and special.

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.”
