Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who loves exploring hiking trails, I have a few gift ideas that will complement her adventurous spirit and enhance her outdoor experiences.

1. Hiking Gear: Upgrade her hiking gear with essentials like a sturdy yet lightweight backpack, durable hiking boots, a high-quality water bottle, a compact and waterproof tent, a comfortable sleeping bag, and a reliable headlamp. These practical gifts will not only improve her comfort and safety on the trails but also reflect your support for her passion.

2. Outdoor Cookbook: Consider gifting her an outdoor cookbook specifically tailored for hikers and campers. It will provide her with a variety of delicious and easy-to-make recipes that can be prepared during outdoor adventures. Such a cookbook will not only add excitement to her meals but also inspire her to try new dishes during her hiking trips.

3. National Park Pass: If she enjoys exploring different hiking trails, a annual National Park Pass would be an ideal gift. It will give her unlimited access to a wide range of national parks across the country. She can plan multiple hiking trips throughout the year and discover new trails, landscapes, and wildlife.

4. Hiking Guidebook: Consider giving her a comprehensive hiking guidebook that covers various regions or specific trails she may be interested in. These guidebooks often include detailed maps, trail descriptions, difficulty ratings, and additional information about flora, fauna, and historical landmarks. This gift will help her plan her hikes effectively and provide valuable insights about the areas she explores.

5. Photography Gear: If your daughter enjoys capturing memories during her hikes, consider gifting her photography gear that suits outdoor conditions. A rugged and waterproof camera, a lightweight tripod, or additional lenses can elevate her photography skills and help her capture stunning landscapes and wildlife encounters.

6. First Aid Kit: Safety should always be a top priority while hiking. Consider putting together a comprehensive first aid kit specifically designed for outdoor activities. It should include essential items such as bandages, antiseptic wipes, insect repellent, blister pads, sunscreen, and a compact emergency whistle. This thoughtful gift will ensure she is well-prepared and safe on her hiking adventures.

7. Outdoor Journal: Encourage her to document her hiking experiences and reflections with a beautiful and durable outdoor journal. It can serve as a personal diary, a logbook of hikes completed, or a place for her to record her encounters with nature. You could even include a set of high-quality pens or markers to make the gift more special.

Remember, apart from the gift itself, it's important to let your daughter know that you support her passion for hiking and value her interests. Adding a heartfelt note expressing your pride in her adventurous spirit will make the gift even more meaningful.

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.”
