Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves traveling solo, there are a few gift ideas that can enhance his travel experiences and make his solo adventures even more memorable and enjoyable.

1. Scratch-off World Map: Consider gifting him a scratch-off world map. This interactive and personalized map allows him to scratch off the countries he has visited, creating a visual representation of his travel accomplishments. It can serve as a great source of inspiration and motivation for future journeys.

2. Waterproof Travel Backpack: A reliable and durable backpack is essential for any traveler, especially for someone who frequently travels alone. Look for a waterproof backpack with ample space and multiple compartments to accommodate his belongings and keep them organized. Consider one with a built-in USB port for convenient charging on the go.

3. Travel Journal: Encourage your son to document his solo adventures by gifting him a travel journal. This can be a place for him to write down his thoughts, capture memories, and reflect on his experiences. Look for a journal with additional features like prompts, maps, or pockets to keep tickets and other mementos safe.

4. Portable Charger: Solo travelers often rely on their gadgets, such as smartphones and cameras, to navigate and capture memories. A portable charger can be a lifesaver when he's on the move and doesn't have access to power outlets. Opt for a lightweight and high-capacity charger to keep his devices juiced up.

5. Travel Inspiring Books: If your son enjoys reading, consider gifting him travel-related books that can inspire and motivate him on his solo adventures. Look for books with stories and experiences from other solo travelers, guidebooks about destinations he plans to visit, or memoirs from famous explorers.

6. Compact Travel Camera: Help him capture breathtaking landscapes and memorable moments with a compact travel camera. Look for a camera that is lightweight, easy to use, and has good image quality. Consider additional features like built-in Wi-Fi for instant sharing and waterproof capabilities for outdoor activities.

7. Travel Adventure Experiences: Instead of a physical gift, consider gifting your son an adventurous experience. Look for activities like bungee jumping, skydiving, or a guided tour of a challenging hiking trail. This will provide him with an exciting opportunity to create new memories and push his boundaries while traveling solo.

8. Personalized Travel Accessories: To add a special touch to his travel gear, consider personalized accessories such as luggage tags, passport covers, or travel wallets engraved with his name or initials. This will not only make his belongings easily identifiable but also add a sense of personalization to his travel experiences.

Remember, the best gift is something that aligns with your son's interests and preferences. By choosing a gift that caters to his love for solo travel, you are not only acknowledging his passion but also encouraging and supporting 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.”
