Five Star Gift Ideas

For someone who enjoys sailing around the world, there are a lot of gift options available that can help make their experience better. Here are some ideas you might consider:

1. Nautical charts or maps - You could gift your son nautical charts or maps of different locations around the world. These detailed maps help sailors chart their course and are something your son can use to plan his next sailing adventure.

2. Navigation tools - Navigation tools, such as a compass or GPS, are essential for sailing, and your son may appreciate having high-quality equipment on his next voyage.

3. Sailing gear - Sailing gear, like a new pair of gloves or a waterproof jacket, can help keep your son comfortable and safe while sailing. You could also consider specialty sailing gear like a sailing watch or shoes with non-slip soles.

4. Nautical decor - For something less practical, decorative nautical items could make for a great gift. You could gift your son a model ship or a painting of a beautiful sunset on the sea.

5. A book on sailing - There are many books about sailing and sailors that your son may enjoy reading. Some popular titles include “Sailing Alone Around the World” by Joshua Slocum and “The Long Way” by Bernard Moitessier.

6. A sailing trip - If you really want to give your son a gift he won’t forget, a sailing trip could be an incredible experience. Depending on your budget, you could book a trip with a sailing charter company or plan a trip to a sailing destination that your son has always wanted to visit.

By understanding your son’s passion for sailing, you can come up with a variety of thoughtful and unique gift ideas that will make him feel appreciated and happy. So, consider these options, and you might just find the perfect gift for your son.

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.”
