Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who enjoys hiking and camping in national parks, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift options that will surely enhance their outdoor adventures and commemorate their wedding day. Here are a few suggestions that I think they will absolutely love:

1. National Park Pass: Consider gifting your friend an annual pass to the National Park System. This pass will allow them unlimited access to over 2,000 federally managed recreation sites across the country. It's a gift that will keep on giving throughout the year, providing them with the opportunity to explore and enjoy their favorite national parks.

2. Customized National Park Map: Help your friend showcase their love for national parks with a customized map highlighting the parks they have visited or plan to visit in the future. There are various websites and local artists that offer personalized national park maps, allowing you to mark the parks that hold special significance to them. It's a thoughtful and visually appealing gift that will remind them of their adventures and experiences.

3. Camping Gear: Every hiker and camper can always use new gear, so why not gift your friend some high-quality camping essentials? Consider items like a durable backpack, a compact and lightweight tent, a cozy sleeping bag, or a portable camping stove. You can also opt for multipurpose tools such as a Swiss Army knife or a versatile camping hammock that can be used for both lounging and sleeping.

4. Outdoor Photography Workshop: If your friend also has a passion for photography, why not surprise them with a photography workshop focused on capturing the beauty of the great outdoors? Look for workshops or classes specifically tailored to landscape or nature photography. Not only will they have the opportunity to enhance their skills, but they will also be able to document their future national park adventures with stunning photographs.

5. Coffee Table Book: Consider gifting your friend a coffee table book that showcases the beauty and diversity of national parks. Look for a book with stunning photographs, interesting facts, and inspirational stories about the parks. It will serve as both a decorative piece and a source of inspiration for planning future hiking and camping trips.

6. National Park Inspired Artwork: If your friend appreciates art, consider finding a piece of artwork inspired by national parks. Look for paintings, prints, or even sculptures that capture the beauty and essence of their favorite parks. This unique and visually appealing gift will help bring the tranquility of the outdoors into their home.

Remember, the best gift is one that reflects your friend's interests and passions. By choosing something related to their love for hiking and camping in national parks, you are not only showing thoughtfulness but also supporting and encouraging their hobbies. Whatever you decide to gift, your friend will appreciate the effort and love behind it.

Or you can get her/him a star map with the date of the wedding.
