Five Star Gift Ideas

For a daughter who enjoys open-water swimming, there are several thoughtful and practical gift options that can enhance her love for this activity and make her birthday truly special. Here are a few ideas:

1. Neoprene Swim Buoy: This brightly colored inflatable buoy is a must-have for open-water swimmers. It provides visibility in the water, increasing safety and peace of mind. Choose a buoy with multiple compartments that allow her to store essential items like a phone, keys, or a snack.

2. Waterproof Action Camera: Help your daughter capture and relive her memorable swimming moments with a high-quality waterproof action camera. She can attach it to her goggles or swim cap to record her adventures, share them with friends, or even create a scrapbook or video montage later.

3. Outdoor Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker: Music can be a great motivator during a swim. Gift your daughter a compact, waterproof Bluetooth speaker that she can attach to her swimsuit or gear. It will let her enjoy her favorite tunes while swimming, making her sessions more enjoyable and energizing.

4. Customized Swim Towel: Treat your daughter to a personalized swim towel featuring her name or a motivating quote. Opt for a quick-drying, sand-resistant microfiber towel that she can easily pack and carry to the beach or lake. The personal touch will make her feel special and appreciated.

5. Open-Water Swimming Guidebook: Consider getting her an informative and inspiring guidebook about open-water swimming. Look for titles that offer tips, techniques, safety suggestions, and stunning photographs of various open-water locations. Such a book can provide her with valuable knowledge and inspire her to explore new swimming destinations.

6. Wetsuit or Swimskin: If your daughter doesn't have a wetsuit or swimskin, these can be excellent gifts for someone passionate about open-water swimming. Opt for a high-quality wetsuit that provides insulation and buoyancy, or a swimskin that improves hydrodynamics and speed. Make sure to consider her measurements and preferences when selecting the right fit.

7. Membership to a Local Swim Club: Open-water swimming can be more enjoyable and safe when practiced in groups or clubs. Consider gifting your daughter a membership to a local open-water swim club or community. This gift will enable her to connect with other swimmers, participate in group swims, and expand her network within the swimming community.

Remember, the most important thing when selecting a gift is to show your daughter that you understand her interests and support her passion. By choosing something related to her love for open-water swimming, you are not only acknowledging her hobbies but also encouraging her to continue pursuing her passion.

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.”
