Five Star Gift Ideas

What a wonderful son you have, with a heart for volunteering and giving back to the community! Based on his passion for helping others, here are a few gift ideas that he might absolutely love this Christmas:

1. Donation in His Name: Consider making a donation to the charity or organization where your son likes to volunteer. This gesture not only supports the cause he is passionate about but also shows that you appreciate and encourage his dedication to making a difference.

2. Volunteer Trip or Experience: Research volunteer trips or experiences that align with your son's interests. There are many organizations that offer opportunities for individuals to travel and volunteer abroad or even within their own country. This can be a unique and life-changing gift that allows him to make a direct impact on a community in need.

3. Books on Social Activism: Encourage your son's passion for volunteering by gifting him books that inspire social change and activism. Look for titles that discuss the importance of civic engagement, the power of volunteering, or stories about people who have dedicated their lives to making a difference in the world.

4. Customized Volunteer Apparel: Show your support for your son's volunteer efforts by gifting him customized volunteer-themed apparel. This could include t-shirts, hoodies, or hats with inspiring slogans or logos related to the cause he cares about. Not only will he appreciate the thoughtfulness of the gift, but it will also help him create conversations and spread awareness about the importance of volunteering.

5. Skill-building Workshops: Help your son enhance his skills and passion for volunteering by enrolling him in skill-building workshops or training sessions related to nonprofit work. Look for courses on fundraising, leadership, project management, or community development. These workshops will not only provide him with valuable knowledge but also open doors for potential future opportunities in the field.

6. Volunteering Equipment: Depending on the type of volunteering your son is involved in, consider gifting him equipment or tools that will make his work easier and more efficient. For example, if he volunteers at an animal shelter, you could gift him a set of grooming tools or a sturdy leash. If he volunteers in environmental conservation, consider items such as gardening tools or a reusable water bottle. These practical gifts will not only be useful but also show your support for his volunteer efforts.

Remember, the most meaningful gift you can give your son is your continued encouragement and recognition of his passion for volunteering. By showing your support through these thoughtful gifts, you'll inspire him to continue making a positive impact on the lives of others.

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.”
