Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves marathon running, here are some gift ideas that you can consider for Christmas:

1. A new pair of high-quality running shoes: Good running shoes are essential for marathon runners. You can consider getting your son a pair of comfortable and high-performance shoes that he can wear during his training and races.

2. A hydration vest: A hydration vest is a lightweight backpack worn during long runs to carry water and snacks. It can be a useful gift for your son, especially during hot summer days.

3. A foam roller: Foam rollers are used for self-massage and can help reduce muscle soreness and improve flexibility. Your son will appreciate a foam roller after a tough training session.

4. Running headphones: Music can be a great motivator during long runs. You can consider getting your son a pair of high-quality wireless headphones designed for runners, such as the Aftershokz Aeropex.

5. A GPS running watch: A GPS running watch can track your son's distance, pace, time, and other running metrics. It can help him monitor his progress and set goals for his training.

6. Gift cards to running stores or online running retailers like Road Runner Sports or Dick's Sporting Goods to allow him to purchase the gear he wants.

7. Personalized race bib/medal holder.

These are just a few ideas to get you started. Happy shopping!

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.”
