Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who is passionate about studying ancient civilizations, I have a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that she might love. These gifts will not only cater to her interest in history but also encourage her learning and exploration. Here are some suggestions:

1. Books: Consider gifting your daughter books on ancient civilizations written by renowned historians or archaeologists. Some popular choices include "The Egyptian Book of the Dead" by E.A. Wallis Budge, "Maya: The Riddle and Rediscovery of a Lost Civilization" by Charles Gallenkamp, and "SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome" by Mary Beard. These books will allow her to delve deeper into the topics she loves and expand her knowledge.

2. Museum Memberships: Look into local museums that focus on history and archaeology. Gifting her a membership will give her unlimited access to exhibitions, lectures, and workshops. She can explore artifacts from ancient civilizations up close and maybe even participate in archaeological digs or workshops conducted by experts.

3. Authentic Artifacts: Consider sourcing authentic replicas or small artifacts from ancient civilizations. These could include Egyptian hieroglyph pendants, Roman coin replicas, or Mayan pottery. These unique and tangible gifts will bring a piece of history into her life and provide a hands-on experience.

4. Puzzle Sets: There are numerous puzzle sets available that revolve around ancient civilizations. These puzzles often depict iconic landmarks or artifacts and provide a fun and engaging way to learn more about history. Look for puzzles that feature famous ruins like the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Colosseum, or the Mayan temples. Additionally, consider 3D puzzle sets that allow her to recreate ancient structures.

5. Educational Board Games: There are board games designed specifically for enthusiasts of ancient civilizations. For example, "Imhotep: Builder of Egypt" lets players take on the role of ancient Egyptian architects, while "Cacao" is a Mayan civilization-themed game. These board games combine entertainment with educational elements and allow her to immerse herself in the rich history she loves.

6. Virtual Reality Experiences: Explore virtual reality apps or experiences that offer immersive historical tours, allowing her to virtually visit ancient civilizations. These VR experiences can transport her to places like the Pyramids of Giza, the streets of ancient Rome, or the ruins of the Mayan civilization, providing a unique and educational adventure.

Remember, the most important aspect of selecting a gift is to show your daughter that you support her passions and encourage her intellectual growth. By choosing a gift that aligns with her love for ancient civilizations, you are not only celebrating her interests but also fostering her passion for learning.

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.”
