Five Star Gift Ideas

For someone like your son who is passionate about volunteering, a meaningful and personal gift idea would be to support his efforts and enhance his experience in giving back to the community. Here are a few suggestions that align with his interests:

1. Donation in his name: Consider making a donation to the local shelter or organization where your son volunteers. This gift would not only support their work but also acknowledge your son's dedication. You can either contribute a sum of money or sponsor specific items or services that are in need.

2. Volunteering toolkit: Put together a volunteering toolkit for your son, filled with essentials he might need while working at the shelter. Include items such as a durable bag, a water bottle, a reusable mask, gloves, hand sanitizer, and comfortable shoes. This gift would not only enhance his experience but also show your support for his commitment to helping others.

3. Skill development opportunity: Explore opportunities for your son to enhance his volunteering skills and make an even greater impact. Look for local workshops or online courses that focus on leadership, communication, or organization skills. By investing in his personal development, you are helping him become an even more effective volunteer.

4. Customized volunteer t-shirt: Design a custom t-shirt that showcases his passion for volunteering. Include a meaningful quote or a logo that represents the shelter or organization he volunteers at. This gift would not only serve as a symbol of his dedication but also promote awareness about the cause he cares about.

5. Photobook or journal: Create a photobook or journal filled with memories and stories from his volunteer experiences. Include photographs, notes, or personal reflections that highlight the impact he has made in the lives of others. This gift would serve as a reminder of the positive change he has brought and motivate him to continue his selfless acts of kindness.

6. Volunteer appreciation event: Organize a volunteer appreciation event for your son and his fellow volunteers. It could be a small gathering, a virtual celebration, or even a surprise thank-you party. This gift would not only show your son how much you value his dedication but also provide an opportunity for fellow volunteers to connect and share their experiences.

Remember, the most important aspect of choosing a gift for your son is to acknowledge and support his passion for volunteering. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests and values, you are not only showing your love but also encouraging him to continue making a difference in the world.

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.”
