Five Star Gift Ideas

An anniversary gift is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate your relationship by acknowledging your girlfriend's passions and interests. Based on what she enjoys—books, cats, and photography—there are several thoughtful gift ideas that can blend these aspects into a memorable and meaningful present.

1. **Customized Photo Book**: Create a personalized photo book that captures memories of your time together. Use photos you’ve taken together, especially those where she’s behind the lens capturing special moments. Add captions or little notes to accompany each picture, perhaps referencing books you’ve both read or her favorite cat quotes. Services like Shutterfly or Mixbook offer great options for designing these.

2. **Literary Photography Art**: Find or commission a piece of art that combines her love for books and photography. This could be a print of her favorite book quote overlaid on a beautifully taken photograph that matches the theme of the quote. Etsy has numerous artists who create custom pieces that might suit this idea.

3. **Cat-themed Camera Strap**: Enhance her photography experience with a stylish and comfortable camera strap featuring cat designs. You can find unique options on sites like Etsy, or even consider having one custom-made. It’s a practical gift that shows you pay attention to her interests.

4. **Photography Course or Membership**: Enroll her in a photography class or workshop that focuses on her areas of interest, whether it's portrait, wildlife (focusing on cats perhaps?), or landscape photography. Alternatively, you could get her a membership to a photography museum or community where she can attend exhibitions and meet other photographers.

5. **Bookstore Date with a Twist**: Plan a surprise date to a local independent bookstore. Let her pick a few books she's interested in, and then head to a cozy café to discuss what you bought or read passages together. To add a personal touch, present her with a book you’ve pre-selected that includes a heartfelt note inside the cover.

6. **Customized Cat Photo Book**: If you have a cat, or if she has one, create a photo book dedicated to her furry friend. Fill it with pictures and stories of the cat’s antics, ensuring it's professionally printed to preserve these memories.

7. **Anniversary Photo Shoot**: Arrange for a photographer friend or a professional to capture the two of you in a beautiful setting. If possible, include your pet cat in the shoot. This could be a lovely way to combine her love of photography from the other side of the camera.

By choosing a gift that intertwines her interests with the sentiment of your relationship, you’ll not only surprise her but also showcase the deep understanding and appreciation you have for her passions.

Or you can get her a star map with the date of your anniversary.
