Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys traveling to remote and unusual destinations, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that could perfectly complement his adventurous spirit. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. Scratch-off World Map: Help him keep track of the places he has visited by gifting him a scratch-off world map. With each new destination he explores, he can scratch off the corresponding area on the map. It not only serves as a visual record of his travels, but also motivates him to explore new remote and unusual destinations.

2. Travel Journal: Encourage your son to document his travel experiences in a personalized travel journal. Opt for a journal with a map design on the cover, offering dedicated space for him to jot down his adventures, add photos, and even sketch moments from his trips. This will not only allow him to relive his memories but also inspire him to seek out new and unique destinations.

3. Outdoor Gear: Support his love for remote travel by getting him essential outdoor gear. Consider items such as a durable backpack, camping gear, or a high-quality travel hammock. These practical gifts will not only enhance his experiences in remote destinations but also show that you support his passion.

4. Subscription to a Travel Magazine: Keep his wanderlust alive throughout the year with a subscription to a travel magazine focused on off-the-beaten-path destinations. There are several magazines dedicated to exploring remote and unusual places, providing inspiration for his future trips and keeping him connected to his passion even when he's not on the road.

5. Adventure Book Collection: If your son enjoys reading as much as he does traveling, consider gifting him a collection of books about extraordinary journeys and remote destinations. Choose titles like "The Art of Travel" by Alain de Botton, "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer, or "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail" by Cheryl Strayed. These books will not only captivate his imagination but also offer insights and inspirations for his own travel adventures.

6. Travel Photography Accessories: If your son loves capturing moments from his travels, consider gifting him some travel photography accessories. This can include a portable tripod, a camera lens kit for his smartphone, or even a GoPro with waterproof housing for capturing adventures in remote destinations. These accessories will help him document his experiences and share them with others.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your son that you support and appreciate his love for remote and unusual travel destinations. Whatever gift you choose, it should reflect his passion and inspire him to continue exploring the world in his own unique way.

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.”
