Remember, the most important aspect of choosing a gift is to show your daughter that you recognize and support her passion for novel writing. By considering her interests and providing tools and resources that nurture her creativity, you'll be giving her a gift that encourages and empowers her to pursue her dreams.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
