1. Cookbooks: Invest in some high-quality cookbooks that focus on different cuisines or areas of expertise. This can help broaden her culinary skills and provide inspiration for new ideas in her catering ventures.

2. Professional Kitchen Equipment: Consider gifting her with professional-grade kitchen equipment that will enhance her catering abilities. This might include items like a professional chef's knife set, a commercial-grade blender or food processor, or a high-quality stand mixer.

3. Cooking Classes or Workshops: Treat your daughter to a cooking class or workshop focused on specific areas of interest within catering and event planning. Look for local culinary schools or professionals who offer lessons in areas like cake decorating, creating appetizers, or advanced cooking techniques.

4. Event Planning Software: Help streamline her work by gifting her an event planning software or app designed specifically for catering. This can assist with organizing guest lists, tracking RSVPs, managing menus and recipes, and even creating floorplans for events.

5. Quality Food Presentation Tools: A key aspect of catering is the art of food presentation. Look for unique and high-quality serving dishes, platters, and utensils that will help her impress clients and guests with her culinary creations.

6. Subscription to Culinary Magazines: Consider a subscription to a reputable culinary magazine or online publication. This will keep her up-to-date on the latest trends in food and event planning, as well as provide her with valuable tips and tricks from industry professionals.

7. Mentorship or Networking Opportunities: Reach out to professionals in the catering and event planning industry to inquire about potential mentorship or shadowing opportunities for your daughter. Connecting her with someone experienced in the field can provide valuable guidance and support as she pursues her passion.

8. Personalized Business Cards: Surprise your daughter with a set of personalized business cards that reflect her passion for catering and event planning. This will not only give her a professional edge but also show your support for her entrepreneurial aspirations.

9. Funding for a Pop-Up Event: If your daughter dreams of hosting her own pop-up event or food stall, consider providing her with the financial support to make it happen. This could include covering the cost of ingredients, equipment rentals, or even securing a location for her event.

10. Gift Cards to Kitchen Supply Stores: Lastly, gift cards to specialty kitchen supply stores will allow your daughter to choose the equipment and tools she needs. This way, she can prioritize her purchases based on her immediate needs or upgrade any existing items that she has.

Remember, the most meaningful gift will be one that supports your daughter's passion for catering and event planning while demonstrating your belief in her abilities.

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