The Winter holiday season is already upon us and during this, many are trying to get ideas on what to buy their loved ones.

As AeroXplorer is an aviation-related platform, of course, we can play a role in gift recommendations for aviation enthusiasts of all ages.

With that said, here are ten great gift ideas for young aviation geeks and aspiring pilots. Ranging from mugs to remote-controlled paper airplanes, this list has it all.

"Pilot in Progress" Mug - $9.99

This mug fits both the passion and the season. Any future pilot can sit down on a cold, winter day and enjoy their favorite hot drink (or any drink) with this mug.

The best part is that it's customizable, meaning you can order this mug printed with the name of your loved one to make it a gift that they can cherish for a very long time.

The mug comes in a variety of designs that can be viewed on the product page. However, the "Pilot in Progress" design is a great idea for any future pilot gift.

Aviation Alphabet Sign - $14.99

Knowing the proper aviation phonetic alphabet is an absolute must to becoming a pilot. This metal sign showcases the entire alphabet and is a great way to get anyone up to speed on aviation "language".

The sign measures 12x16 inches and is the perfect size to fit on any bedroom or living room wall. The shown product is priced at $14.99 however there are other designs available for slightly more.

"Pilot in Progress" Shirt - $17.99

Going off of the "Pilot in Progress" theme, we have a shirt with the same phrase on it. If black is not a desirable color, don't worry, you can purchase this shirt in a variety of colors.

While the shirt itself is not customizable by adding names or the like, it still serves as a memorable gift to any young and upcoming pilot.

If the t-shirt is not to your liking, many similar products with the "Pilot in Progress" theme can also be found ranging from sweatshirts to phone cases.

"3D" Airplane Night Light - $19.99

This airplane night light is a perfect addition to any young aviator's room...or any aviator for that matter. Despite "3D" being in the name, it's an illusion.

The airplane light is actually a flat piece that somehow gives off the illusion of being a 3D aircraft. It emits a soft yellow light that will not disturb sleep.

On the contrary, it will serve as a great overnight partner for even those who are scared of the dark.

Aluminum Pilot Clipboard - $19.99

This product is meant for those who are well into their pilot training or about to start. Having this clipboard serves as a convenient way for pilots to simplify things in the cockpit.

The board comes with a knee strap that allows for the board to easily and securely rest on the individual's leg. This way, when flying, you do not have to worry about it being misplaced or sliding off all the time. 

The clipboard also features a secure pen holder so that doesn't get misplaced as well.

"Pilot in Progress" Pillow - $21.99

Keeping up the "Pilot in Progress" theme with this vibrant throw pillow. The $21.99 version is sized at 18x18 inches while the smaller 16x16 version comes at $19.99.

Mini Fighter Jets (Two-Pack) - $23.62

It wouldn't be an aviation-themed gift list without having airplane toys or models listed.

This listing includes two fighter jet toys with three different pack variations to choose from. These are meant for the younger aviators such as toddlers.

In addition to being rather lifelike, these jets come with a pullback and light feature that allows one to pull the plane back and watch it dash ahead with a flashing cockpit light.

Customizable Jet Lamp - $49.99

This product takes it up a notch when it comes to aviation lamps. Not only does it feature the legendary F-16 but it also can display 16 different colored lights.

Furthermore, this lamp can display the lights in four modes: flash, strobe, fade, or smooth which can all be adjusted by the click of a button.

To make matters even cooler, you can customize these lamps by adding your name or that of a loved one. That makes this aviation-themed lamp a fine addition to any future pilot's room.

Boeing 787 Model - $55.00

DISCLAIMER: Due to small parts and the delicate nature of this product, it is only recommended for those aged 14 and older. 

Avgeeks love their scale model planes. The Boeing 787 is one of the most recognizable and newest airplanes in the skies today. Not only this but it has quickly become a favorite of many.

This 1/200 scale model is easy to assemble and comes with a high-quality wooden stand. The model will spice up any future pilot room, desk, or household overall and serve as a true centerpiece.

Remote-Controlled Paper Airplane - $69.99

How's this for a high-tech aviation gift? You may have lots of experience creating paper airplanes in school or your free time but what about a remote-controlled paper airplane?

The POWERUP 4.0 kit comes with all the essentials needed to make one cool paper airplane. While the paper is, of course, included, so too is a dual motor that allows for up to ten minutes of flight! If the motor runs out of battery, not to worry as the kit comes with a USB charging cable.

Perhaps the coolest feature of this product is the ability to control your airplane from your smartphone. The motor module comes with Bluetooth installed that will easily connect to your device and give you a remote-controlled airplane experience like you've never had before.

We hope you are inspired by this lift of gifts for future pilots, and hopefully, we have assisted you in your endeavors to find presents for your avgeeks in mind this holiday season.
