Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for extreme sports like rock climbing and base jumping, I have some exciting and meaningful gift ideas that will surely make his Christmas special.

1. Rock Climbing Gear Set: Upgrade his gear collection by gifting him a high-quality rock climbing gear set, including a harness, helmet, ropes, carabiners, and climbing shoes. Look for a set that fits his preferences and features reliable safety equipment.

2. Outdoor Adventure Experience: Treat your son to an unforgettable outdoor adventure experience such as a guided rock climbing trip or a base jumping lesson. This will not only provide him with a thrilling experience but also an opportunity to learn from the experts and further enhance his skills.

3. Inspirational Books and Documentaries: Expand his knowledge and inspire him with books and documentaries that focus on extreme sports. Books like "Touching the Void" by Joe Simpson or "The Push" by Tommy Caldwell offer fascinating and gripping tales of real-life adventures. Documentaries like "Free Solo" and "Valley Uprising" provide captivating insights into the world of rock climbing.

4. Personalized Climbing Jewelry: Consider getting him a piece of personalized climbing jewelry, such as a necklace or bracelet, with a pendant or charm that symbolizes his love for rock climbing or base jumping. You could engrave his initials or a meaningful quote on the jewelry to add a personal touch.

5. GoPro or Action Camera: Enable him to capture his extreme sports moments with a high-quality GoPro or action camera. This will allow him to record his adventures and share them with friends and family. Look for models with excellent stabilization and durable construction to withstand the ruggedness of extreme sports activities.

6. Rock Climbing Training Board: Help him improve his climbing skills and strength with a rock climbing training board. These boards feature different handholds and provide a range of workouts to challenge him physically and mentally. Look for a board that suits his skill level and space available.

7. Adventure Travel Gear: If your son also enjoys traveling to new locations for extreme sports, consider gifting him travel gear specifically designed for adventurers. This could include a lightweight and durable backpack, a compact tent, a portable hammock, or a versatile multitool.

8. Membership to a Climbing Gym: If he doesn't already have one, a membership to a local climbing gym can offer him frequent access to climbing walls and a supportive community. This will allow him to practice his skills regularly, regardless of weather conditions.

Remember to consider his specific preferences, safety requirements, and skill level when choosing the perfect gift for your son. By selecting something that aligns with his love for extreme sports, you're not only giving him a meaningful present, but also showing your support and encouragement for his adventurous pursuits.

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.”
