Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who has a passion for graphic design and creating digital art, I have some great gift ideas that I'm sure she will love.

1. Drawing Tablet: A drawing tablet is an essential tool for digital artists. It allows them to sketch, draw, and create artwork directly on their computer. Consider getting her a high-quality drawing tablet such as Wacom Intuos Pro or Huion Kamvas Pro.

2. Graphic Design Software: Invest in professional graphic design software like Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, which includes programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. These tools will provide her with endless possibilities to bring her creative ideas to life.

3. Online Courses or Workshops: Help enhance your daughter's skills by enrolling her in online graphic design courses or workshops. Websites like Udemy and Skillshare offer a wide range of courses taught by industry professionals, from beginner to advanced levels.

4. Design Books: Inspire and motivate her with books on graphic design or digital art. Some popular options are "The Non-Designer's Design Book" by Robin Williams, "Drawing and Painting on the iPad" by Diana Seidl, or "Steal Like an Artist" by Austin Kleon.

5. Art Supplies: While she may primarily work digitally, having physical art supplies can be inspiring. Consider getting her markers, pens, sketchbooks, or art sets. Experimenting with traditional mediums can also help her develop new techniques and styles.

6. Premium Stock Photos or Fonts: As a graphic designer, she may often need high-quality stock photos or fonts for her projects. Purchase credits or a subscription to a reputable stock photo website like Shutterstock or Adobe Stock. Alternatively, you can gift her a collection of unique and stylish fonts.

7. Personalized Business Cards: Encourage her professional growth by getting her a set of personalized business cards. Use her own design or collaborate with a graphic designer to create a unique and eye-catching business card that reflects her style and expertise.

8. Art Portfolio Website: Help her showcase her work professionally by setting up a personalized art portfolio website. This will allow her to create an online presence and attract potential clients or employers. Platforms like Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress offer user-friendly tools to build stunning websites.

9. Subscription to Design Magazines: Subscribe her to design magazines such as Communication Arts, Print Magazine, or Computer Arts. These magazines offer valuable insights, industry trends, and inspiration from renowned professionals in the field.

10. Creative Desk Organizer: Keep her workspace neat and organized with a stylish desk organizer. Look for one that includes compartments for pens, markers, cables, and other digital accessories. This will not only serve as a practical gift but also enhance her creative environment.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows you have taken the time to understand and support her passion. With these thoughtful gift ideas, you can inspire and encourage your daughter's love for graphic design and digital art.

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.”
