Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys kayaking or paddleboarding, there are several gift ideas that can enhance his experience and make his adventures even more enjoyable.

1. Kayaking/Paddleboarding Gear: Look into high-quality gear that can enhance his kayaking or paddleboarding experience. Consider gifting him a new paddle, life jacket, or a waterproof dry bag to keep his belongings safe and dry while he explores.

2. GoPro or Waterproof Camera: To capture his kayaking or paddleboarding adventures, a GoPro or waterproof camera can be an excellent gift. He can record the scenic views, capture action shots, and create lasting memories to share with family and friends.

3. Navigation Tools: Help your son navigate his way through different water bodies with a waterproof map or a compass. These tools can be useful for planning new routes and exploring unfamiliar areas safely.

4. Fitness Tracker/Waterproof Watch: If your son is also into fitness, consider getting him a fitness tracker or a waterproof watch. These devices can monitor his heart rate, track his distance and speed, and even provide safety features like built-in GPS.

5. Waterproof Phone Case: To keep his phone safe while on the water, a waterproof phone case is a must-have. This gift will allow him to use his phone for navigation, take photos and videos, or play music, without worrying about water damage.

6. Outdoor Adventure Experiences: Instead of a physical gift, you can gift your son an outdoor adventure experience. Look for guided kayak or paddleboard tours, overnight camping trips, or even a membership to a local outdoor adventure club. These experiences will give him the chance to explore new locations and learn from experts, expanding his love for kayaking or paddleboarding.

7. Books and Magazines: Fuel your son's interest in kayaking or paddleboarding by gifting him books or magazines related to these activities. There are several guidebooks, memoirs, and magazines filled with tips, stories, and inspiration for his next adventure.

8. Personalized Gear: To make his gear more personal and unique, consider getting your son personalized items such as a custom-designed paddle, a monogrammed waterproof bag, or a personalized water bottle. These gifts will show that you've thoughtfully chosen something specifically for him.

Remember, the best gift is one that aligns with his passions and interests, so consider his preferences and any specific items he may have mentioned or hinted at. By choosing a thoughtful and personalized gift related to his love for kayaking or paddleboarding, you'll undoubtedly make this Christmas extra special for 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.”
