Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who is passionate about mock trial and debate, I have some wonderful gift ideas that will complement her interests and help her further pursue her passion. Whether she's into honing her public speaking skills, staying organized, or gaining more knowledge in her field, these gifts are bound to bring a smile to her face:

1. Book on public speaking: Enhance your daughter's debating skills by gifting her a book that focuses on the art of public speaking, presentation skills, and persuasive techniques. There are many renowned titles available like "Talk Like TED" by Carmine Gallo or "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" by Robert Cialdini that could provide her with valuable insights.

2. Mock trial training materials: Help your daughter elevate her mock trial game by providing her with mock trial training materials, such as practice cases, sample arguments, or courtroom procedure handbooks. These resources will not only improve her understanding of the legal system but will also enable her to develop stronger argumentative and analytical skills.

3. Conference or workshop tickets: Look for upcoming debate or mock trial conferences, workshops, or camps in your area. Investing in tickets for such events will expose your daughter to new perspectives, hone her skills through interactive sessions, and provide opportunities to network with other like-minded individuals.

4. Stationery and organizational tools: Get your daughter a sleek, professional-looking notebook or a high-quality set of pens that she can use while preparing for debates or keeping track of her arguments. Additionally, consider gifting her a planner or desk organizer specifically designed for debaters, with sections to jot down ideas, make outlines, and manage her schedule.

5. Subscription to a law or debate magazine: Keep your daughter's knowledge up to date by subscribing her to a reputable law or debate magazine, such as "The National Mock Trial Magazine" or "The Debater's Journal." These subscriptions will provide her with informative articles, case studies, and insight from professionals in the field.

6. Inspirational wall art or prints: Decorate her study or bedroom walls with motivational quotes or artwork related to her passion for mock trial. Find prints or posters that showcase famous legal quotes, images of iconic courtrooms, or affirmations that align with the competitive nature of debate. These decorations will create an inspiring environment and serve as a constant reminder of her love for mock trial.

7. Membership to a debate society or club: If your daughter is not already a member of a debate society or club, consider gifting her a membership. This gift will not only connect her with other debaters, but it will also provide her with access to practice debates, feedback from experienced coaches, and competition opportunities.

Remember, the key to choosing a meaningful gift is to consider your daughter's specific interests and needs. By selecting a gift that aligns with her passion for mock trial and debate, you are not only acknowledging her dedication but also encouraging her personal and academic growth.

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.”
