For your daughter who is fascinated with ancient civilizations and archaeology, there are numerous gift ideas that can cater to her interests and further enhance her knowledge in these fields. Here are some thoughtful and engaging gift options:

1. Books: Consider gifting her a collection of books on ancient civilizations and archaeology. Choose titles like "The Lost City of the Monkey God" by Douglas Preston, "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus" by Charles C. Mann, or "The History of the Ancient World" by Susan Wise Bauer. These books will enable her to delve deeper into different ancient cultures and their discoveries.

2. Archaeological Dig Kit: Encourage her exploration by giving her an archaeological dig kit. These kits usually include tools such as brushes, chisels, and excavation tools, as well as artificial fossils, relics, or pottery fragments for her to excavate. This hands-on experience will make her feel like a real archaeologist and spark her curiosity even further.

3. Museum Memberships: Consider gifting her a membership to a local museum or archaeological site that hosts exhibits on ancient civilizations. This will grant her access to special events, workshops, lectures, and the opportunity to see artifacts up close. It's a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year, allowing her to deepen her knowledge in an immersive way.

4. Virtual Experiences: Explore the world of virtual tours that offer interactive experiences with historical sites and museums. Websites and apps like Google Arts & Culture, National Geographic, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art offer virtual tours and exhibits on ancient civilizations that she can explore from the comfort of her home.

5. Historical Board Games: Engage her in a fun and educational activity by giving her historically-themed board games like "7 Wonders" or "The Settlers of Catan." These games provide entertainment while also promoting strategic thinking and knowledge about different civilizations.

6. Subscription to Archaeology Magazines: Consider subscribing her to a reputable archaeology magazine such as Archaeology Magazine or Biblical Archaeology Review. These publications offer in-depth articles, interviews, and updates on recent archaeological discoveries from around the world, keeping her informed and inspired.

7. Ancient Civilization Puzzles: Opt for puzzles featuring ancient civilization themes, such as pyramids, temples, or ancient artifacts. These puzzles will not only entertain her but also enhance her problem-solving skills and patience.
