Five Star Gift Ideas

For a daughter who has a passion for mixing and creating custom cocktails, there are a multitude of birthday gift ideas that can both enhance her hobby and make her feel special. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Mixology Set: Offer your daughter a top-notch mixology set with high-quality tools such as a shaker, strainer, muddler, and jigger. This will give her the tools needed to perfect her craft and experiment with different concoctions.

2. Cocktail Recipe Book: Consider gifting your daughter a beautiful and comprehensive cocktail recipe book. Look for one that offers a wide range of recipes, from classics to innovative creations, and perhaps even includes tips and tricks for a home bartender. This will provide her with inspiration and new ideas for her cocktail creations.

3. Unique Bitters or Syrups: Help enrich your daughter's cocktail repertoire by gifting her a collection of unique bitters or syrups. These can include flavors such as lavender, rosemary, or even exotic options like cardamom, hibiscus, or falernum. These additions will enable her to experiment with different flavor profiles and create custom cocktails with exciting twists.

4. Craft Spirits or Local Distillery Tour: Elevate your daughter's cocktail game by introducing her to high-quality craft spirits. Consider purchasing a selection of unique, small-batch liquors or even organizing a tour of a local distillery, where she can learn about the art of spirit production and further her knowledge about cocktail ingredients.

5. Cocktail Subscription Box: Surprise your daughter with a subscription to a cocktail-themed monthly box. These boxes often include curated recipes, specialty ingredients, and even bartending tools. This gift will not only keep her motivated and inspired but also introduce her to new flavors and techniques.

6. Mixology Classes or Workshop: For a truly memorable experience, consider enrolling your daughter in a mixology class or workshop. Local cocktail bars or culinary schools often offer these opportunities, providing hands-on experience, insider knowledge, and the chance to interact with professional mixologists.

7. Personalized Barware: Customize a set of barware items with your daughter's initials or a meaningful message. This could include personalized cocktail glasses, a monogrammed cocktail shaker or even a stylish decanter. Personalized barware will add a touch of elegance and make her feel special every time she mixes a drink.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is often one that reflects both your daughter's interests and your thoughtfulness. By selecting a gift that aligns with her passion for mixology and personalizes it to her tastes, you will undoubtedly make her birthday extra special, encouraging her creativity and showing your support for her hobby.

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.”
