Five Star Gift Ideas

For a daughter who enjoys orienteering and navigation, there are numerous creative and meaningful gift options you could consider. Below are a few ideas that combine her interests with personal touches:

1. Personalized Compass: A compass is an essential tool for orienteering. Consider getting her a high-quality compass engraved with her name or a special message. This gift not only connects to her passion for navigation but also becomes a cherished keepsake in the years to come.

2. Orienteering Gear: Help enhance her orienteering experience by gifting her some specialized gear. Look for a durable and waterproof map case, a compass that's designed specifically for orienteering, or high-quality trekking poles. These practical gifts will not only support her hobby but also show how much you value her interests.

3. Orienteering Course Gift Certificate: Surprise her with a gift certificate for an orienteering course or workshop. This allows her to further develop her skills, explore new terrain, and meet fellow orienteering enthusiasts. It's a fantastic opportunity for her to learn from experts, gain confidence, and make lasting memories.

4. Nature-Inspired Jewelry: Consider a piece of jewelry inspired by the wilderness and nature. Look for designs that incorporate maps, compasses, or symbols associated with navigation. This could be a necklace with a tiny compass pendant, earrings imitating topographic maps, or a bracelet with engraved coordinates of a significant location in her life. Such jewelry pieces will resonate with her passion and add a touch of elegance to her outfits.

5. Outdoor Adventure Books: Encourage her love for orienteering and exploration with inspiring books. Choose non-fiction books that offer guidance on navigation techniques and orienteering adventures, or opt for thrilling adventure novels set in the great outdoors. Books like "The Nature Instinct: Learn to Find Direction, Sense Danger, and Even Guess Nature's Next Move" by Tristan Gooley or "The Survival Handbook: Essential Skills for Outdoor Adventure" by Colin Towell could be good choices.

6. Customized Map Art: Create a personalized map representation of a favorite orienteering location or a place she desires to explore. You can commission an artist or use a specialized online service to create a custom map poster or canvas. These unique artwork pieces will serve as a constant reminder of her passions and the adventures she has embarked on.

7. Orienteering-related Accessories: Consider smaller, practical gifts like a keychain with a mini compass, a multi-tool with navigation features, or a waterproof phone case for outdoor activities. These accessories are useful additions to her orienteering equipment and will accompany her on various excursions.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and effort put into selecting something that reflects your daughter's interests and passions. By considering her love for orienteering and navigation, you can find a gift that is not only meaningful but also strengthens the bond you share.

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.”
