Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys letterboxing and geocaching, there are plenty of thoughtful and exciting gift options to consider. These suggestions will not only enhance his outdoor adventures but also deepen his enjoyment of these hobbies:

1. Personalized Geocaching/Letterboxing Kit: Put together a custom kit that includes essentials like a logbook, stamps, ink pads, a compass, and a lockable storage container. Add a personal touch by engraving his name or a special message on some of the items.

2. Adventure Journal: A high-quality adventure journal can help your son document his geocaching and letterboxing expeditions. Look for one with durability and room for him to jot down memories, sketch landmarks, and record the hidden treasures he discovers.

3. GPS Device: Geocaching often relies on GPS technology, so consider surprising your son with a reliable and feature-rich GPS device. Look for one specifically designed for geocaching with preloaded caches, an easy-to-use interface, and long battery life.

4. Outdoor Clothing and Gear: Equip your son with comfortable and durable clothing suitable for his outdoor activities. Look for moisture-wicking materials and items that provide protection from the elements, like hiking boots, waterproof jackets, and breathable hats.

5. Geocaching/Letterboxing Books: Inspire your son's love for geocaching and letterboxing by giving him some educational and adventurous reading material. Choose books that share stories from experienced geocachers and provide tips and tricks for successful treasure hunting.

6. Membership to Geocaching or Letterboxing Associations: Consider gifting your son a membership to geocaching or letterboxing associations, which often offer additional resources, exclusive events, and opportunities to connect with fellow enthusiasts through online communities.

7. Outdoor Adventure Course: If your son is interested in expanding his skills and knowledge, consider enrolling him in an outdoor adventure course. Look for options that teach navigation techniques, survival skills, and advanced geocaching tactics.

8. Custom-made GeoArt/Letterbox Series: If your son enjoys creating his own geocaches or letterbox series, surprise him with custom-made GeoArt or a series of letterboxes designed specifically for him. This personalized approach will showcase his creativity and provide a lasting legacy for others to enjoy.

9. Adventure Trip: Plan a special geocaching or letterboxing adventure trip for your son and the entire family. Choose a location that offers challenging caches and breathtaking scenery, making it a memorable experience for everyone involved.

10. Geocaching/Letterboxing Online Course: Online courses can provide valuable insights and techniques to enhance your son's geocaching and letterboxing skills. Look for platforms that offer interactive courses taught by experienced enthusiasts or professionals.

Remember, the most meaningful part of this gift is the thought and effort you put into understanding and supporting your son's hobbies. With any of these gift ideas, you're not only providing him with material items but also showing your love and encouragement for his passions.

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.”
