Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who is passionate about student activism, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that would resonate with her interests and values. Consider the following options:

1. Books on Activism: A great gift idea would be a selection of books that highlight different perspectives and approaches to student activism. Look for titles like "When We Fight, We Win!": Twenty-First Century Social Movements and the Activists That Are Transforming Our World by Greg Jobin-Leeds and AgitArte, or "The Youth Activist's Guide" by Jessica R. Gunderson. These books will not only inspire her but also provide knowledge and strategies for effective activism.

2. Donation in Her Name: Show your support for her passion by making a donation to an organization that promotes student activism or supports causes she cares about. This gesture would demonstrate your belief in her commitment and cause, while also making a positive impact in her name.

3. Activism Toolkit: Put together an activism toolkit for her, including essential items like protest signs, posters, stickers, buttons, and wristbands. Additionally, include resources such as instructions for organizing protests, online petitions, and contact information for local organizations fighting for causes she supports. This toolkit will equip her with the tools and resources she needs to be an effective student activist.

4. Attend a Workshop or Conference: Look for student activism workshops or conferences in your area or online that focus on building leadership skills and fostering social change. Pay for her registration fees and any additional expenses so she can network with like-minded individuals, learn from experienced activists, and gain valuable insights and inspiration.

5. Customized Activism Merchandise: Consider getting customized merchandise that showcases her passion for student activism. This could be a personalized T-shirt or hoodie with a slogan or quote that resonates with her, or a custom-designed phone case or laptop sticker that highlights her activism interests. These items will not only be unique to her but also serve as conversation starters and symbols of her dedication to the cause.

6. Mentorship or Internship Opportunities: Connect her with a mentor or help her secure an internship with a local organization working on student activism or social justice causes. This experience will provide her with valuable guidance, support, and practical knowledge to further her activism efforts.

Remember, the most important aspect of a gift is the thought and effort put into it. By choosing a gift that aligns with your daughter's passion for student activism, you are not only acknowledging her interests but also supporting and fostering her growth as an activist.

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.”
