Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who has a passion for computer programming and coding, there are plenty of gift options that can enhance her skills and support her interest in this field. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Coding Kit: Consider purchasing a coding kit, such as the Arduino Starter Kit or Raspberry Pi. These kits come with all the necessary components and guides to help her build her own projects, encouraging hands-on experience and creativity.

2. Programming Books: Look for books that cater to her programming language of choice or explore topics like algorithms, data structures, or software development. Some popular options include "Cracking the Coding Interview" by Gayle Laakmann McDowell or "JavaScript: The Good Parts" by Douglas Crockford.

3. Online Programming Courses or Subscriptions: Enroll her in an online coding course like Codecademy or Udemy that offer a wide range of programming languages and project-based learning. Alternatively, consider a subscription to platforms like Pluralsight or Coursera that provide access to numerous tech courses.

4. Coding Gadgets: Explore tech gadgets like programmable microcontrollers and robots that can be programmed and controlled using code. Examples include the Makeblock mBot, Sphero SPRK+, or the Lego Mindstorms series.

5. Coding Board Games: Engage her in coding-themed board games that can be both educational and fun. Games like "Robot Turtles," "Code Monkey Island," or "Adventures in Coding" can help reinforce programming concepts through gameplay.

6. Coding Apparel: Consider gifting her with coding-related clothing or accessories that allow her to showcase her passion for programming. T-shirts with coding jokes or a necklace with a programming symbol can be great options.

7. Coding Stationery: Look for notebooks or planners specifically designed for programmers, featuring code snippets, function diagrams, or algorithm notations. These can be useful for jotting down ideas or writing pseudocode.

8. Tech Gadgets: Invest in high-quality tech gadgets like a powerful laptop or a new smartphone, which will enable her to practice coding and keep up with the latest programming trends.

9. Coding Conferences or Workshops: Consider sponsoring her attendance at coding conferences or workshops where she can network with like-minded individuals, learn from industry experts, and gain valuable insights.

10. Personalized Coding Jewelry: Choose a customized piece of jewelry, such as a bracelet or necklace, with a pendant in the shape of her favorite programming language or a symbolic coding-related design. This will be a unique and personal gift that she can cherish.

Remember, the key is to support and encourage her interest in programming by providing her with tools, resources, and experiences that can further develop her coding skills.

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.”
