Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who has a passion for genealogy, I have a few meaningful and personalized gift ideas that she will surely appreciate on her birthday.

1. DNA Ancestry Test Kit: A DNA ancestry test kit would be a perfect gift to fuel her genealogical interests. It will allow her to uncover her ethnic origins, connect with relatives she might not have known about, and trace her family tree. There are several reputable companies that offer these tests, such as AncestryDNA or 23andMe.

2. Personalized Family Tree Necklace: Consider giving your daughter a beautiful and unique necklace that represents her love for genealogy. A pendant in the shape of a tree with birthstones representing family members would be a lovely touch. There are various designs available, allowing you to customize the necklace to her liking.

3. Subscription to Genealogy Website: A subscription to a genealogy website, such as Ancestry.com or MyHeritage, would provide your daughter with access to an expansive collection of records and tools for building her family tree. This gift will give her the opportunity to delve deeper into her genealogical research and make new discoveries.

4. Genealogy Software: Genealogy software like Family Tree Maker or Legacy Family Tree would make a useful and practical gift. These programs provide tools to organize and document family history, allowing your daughter to easily store and share her research findings. This gift would aid her in preserving and sharing her findings with future generations.

5. Book on Genealogy: There are many excellent books available on the topic of genealogy. You could choose a comprehensive guide that covers various aspects of the subject or a book focused on a specific region or time period that aligns with her interests. "Genealogy: How to Find Your Family History" by David Annal and Jennifer L. Holik or "The Family Tree Toolkit" by Kenyatta D. Berry are two highly recommended options.

6. Virtual Genealogy Workshop: Consider enrolling your daughter in a virtual genealogy workshop or webinar. These online classes offer opportunities to learn advanced research techniques, connect with experts, and engage with a community of fellow genealogists. This gift will allow her to enhance her skills and gain new insights into her family history.

Remember, it's the thought and effort you put into finding a gift that aligns with your daughter's passion for genealogy that will truly make it special. Choose a gift that reflects her interests and provides her with the tools and knowledge to further explore her heritage.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

Luann Skinner says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I ordered the star map 8 days before my daughter's birthday. It arrived in 7 days just in time for her birthday. Thank you! She loved the star map.”
