Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who loves animation, I have a few creative and thoughtful gift ideas that she might appreciate.

1. Art Supplies: Surprise her with a set of high-quality markers, colored pencils, or sketch pads so she can let her creativity flow. Encourage her to explore her artistic talents by creating her own animations or designs.

2. Animation Books: Consider gifting her books related to animation, such as "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams or "The Illusion of Life" by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. These books offer valuable insights and techniques about the art of animation.

3. Studio Ghibli Merchandise: If your daughter is a fan of Studio Ghibli films, you could gift her merchandise featuring her favorite characters, like a Totoro plushie, a Howl's Moving Castle music box, or a Spirited Away poster.

4. Online Animation Course: Enroll her in an online animation course where she can learn from professionals and enhance her skills in animation. This gift would not only be educational but also a practical way for her to pursue her passion.

5. Visit an Animation Studio: If possible, arrange a visit to a local animation studio or participate in a workshop where she can get a behind-the-scenes look at how animated movies are made. This experience could be both inspiring and enriching for her.

6. Custom Animation Artwork: Commission a professional artist to create a custom animation artwork featuring your daughter's favorite characters or a design inspired by her interests. This personalized gift would be a unique and special addition to her collection.

7. Animation Film Festival Tickets: Surprise her with tickets to an animation film festival or a screening of her favorite animated movies. This would be a fun and memorable experience that she can enjoy with friends or family.

Remember, the best gift is one that reflects her interests and passions. I hope these ideas inspire you to find the perfect birthday gift for your daughter who loves animation.

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.”
