Five Star Gift Ideas

If you have a friend who absolutely loves spending time in nature, then there's a good chance that they love national parks. Fortunately, there are many ways to incorporate national parks into meaningful and personal gifts, no matter what your budget is.

1. National Park Pass: One great gift idea is a National Park Pass. A National Park Pass gives your friend admission to over 2,000 federal recreation sites, including national parks, for an entire year. It's an excellent way to encourage your friend to explore the great outdoors while saving money at the same time.

2. National Park Map: Another thoughtful idea is a National Park map, which highlights all the national parks and recreation areas across the US. It's an excellent gift for someone who likes to travel and be adventurous. Plus, your friend can use it as a conversation starter when hosting guests.

3. National Park Guidebooks: Many people love celebrating their love for National Parks by taking trips throughout the year. Guidebooks that highlight parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite or the Grand Canyon could be perfect for your adventurous friend. The guidebooks also provide insider tips like where to camp, hike, and find the best views of the park. They can also learn interesting facts about the park's history.

4. National Parks Wall Art: Another option is wall art inspired by the national parks. There are many options online, or you can have artists make custom art for your friend. The art could feature anything from famous landscapes to wildlife or even famous landmarks or buildings from the parks.

5. National Parks Subscription Box: If your friend loves getting packages and trying new things, a subscription box based on national parks would be an excellent gift. You could get them a monthly or quarterly box that features products like special food, unique gear, or other souvenirs inspired by national parks. It's an excellent way for your friend to try new things and support the national parks system.

With such a vast and beautiful national park system in the US, there's no shortage of gift ideas that celebrate them. No matter which gift you decide to give, it's sure to be cherished by your friend who loves the outdoors and the national parks.
