Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys outdoor camping and hiking, there are plenty of thoughtful and practical gift options that he will appreciate. Here are a few ideas:

1. Camping Gear: Consider getting him high-quality camping gear to enhance his outdoor experience. This could include a durable tent, a warm sleeping bag, a camping stove, or a portable hammock. These essentials will ensure that he stays comfortable and fully equipped on his adventures.

2. Hiking Boots: A good pair of hiking boots can make a huge difference in the comfort and safety of outdoor activities. Look for a pair that offers excellent traction, ankle support, and waterproof features. This gift not only shows your consideration for his passion but also promotes his safety while hiking.

3. Outdoor Clothing: Help him stay comfortable and protected by gifting him some outdoor clothing. Look for moisture-wicking and quick-drying materials that are ideal for hiking and camping. Choose items like a durable rain jacket, thermal base layers, or a versatile multi-pocket hiking pants. These practical items will keep him prepared for any weather conditions he may encounter.

4. Backpack: A high-quality backpack designed for hiking and camping is essential. Look for one that is lightweight, has multiple compartments, and offers good ventilation for long hikes. Additionally, consider a backpack with a built-in hydration system to ensure he stays hydrated during his outdoor adventures.

5. Portable Power Bank: Since camping and hiking often take people away from traditional power sources, a portable power bank can be a lifesaver. Opt for a durable and waterproof one that can keep his devices charged, including his phone, GPS, or camera. This gift will provide convenience and security during his outdoor trips.

6. Guidebooks and Maps: Help him discover new hiking trails and campsites with guidebooks and detailed maps of national parks or hiking destinations. This thoughtful gift will fuel his passion and inspire him to explore more outdoor adventures.

7. Experience Gift: Consider giving him an experience gift, such as a guided backpacking trip, a rock climbing lesson, or a weekend camping getaway at a scenic location. This will give him an opportunity to challenge himself in new ways and create lasting memories.

Remember, the most important thing is to choose a gift that aligns with his specific interests and needs. By considering his passion for outdoor camping and hiking, you can find a gift that shows your thoughtfulness and support for his adventurous spirit.

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.”
