Five Star Gift Ideas

It sounds like your daughter is artistic and creative, and enjoys expressing herself through costume making. Here are a few ideas for birthday gifts that might be meaningful and personal for her:

1. A new sewing machine: If your daughter is serious about costume making, she may have already outgrown her current sewing machine or be in need of an upgrade. A new, high-quality sewing machine could help her take her skills to the next level and create more intricate and detailed costumes.

2. A costume design book: If your daughter enjoys researching and planning her costume designs, a book that focuses on costume design could be a great gift. Look for books that feature sketches and ideas from famous costume designers, or that offer tips and techniques for creating specific types of costumes (such as historical costumes or cosplay outfits).

3. A custom dress form: A dress form is a useful tool for any seamstress, but a custom dress form that accurately represents your daughter's body shape and measurements could be particularly useful for costume making. She can drape fabric over the form to get a better sense of how the costume will fit and look, without having to constantly try it on herself.

4. A gift card to a fabric store: Good quality fabric can be expensive, and your daughter may appreciate having a bit of extra money to spend on her next costume project. Look for a fabric store that specializes in unique and interesting fabrics, such as silk, velvet, or lace.

5. A workshop or class: If your daughter is interested in learning new techniques or skills related to costume making, consider signing her up for a workshop or class in her area. Look for classes that focus on specific types of costuming, such as creating corsets or working with leather.

Overall, the key to finding a meaningful and personal gift for your daughter is to tune into her interests and passions. By focusing on her love of costume making, you can find a gift that shows you appreciate and support her creative pursuits.

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.”
