Five Star Gift Ideas

If your daughter is a fan of sustainable fashion and thrift shopping, there are plenty of meaningful gift ideas that align with her interests. Here are a few suggestions to consider for her birthday:

1. Ethically-made Clothing or Accessories: Look for sustainable fashion brands that prioritize ethical production practices, use eco-friendly materials, and pay fair wages to workers. Consider gifting her a timeless piece of clothing, like a minimalist dress or a classic bag, that she can incorporate into her wardrobe while feeling good about the ethical impact.

2. Thrift Store Gift Card: Take her love for thrift shopping to the next level by giving her a gift card to her favorite thrift store or a voucher for a guided thrift store shopping spree. This way, she can explore and curate her unique collection of second-hand gems.

3. DIY Sustainable Fashion Kit: Encourage her creativity with a DIY sustainable fashion kit. It can include materials like organic cotton fabric, natural dyes, and notions, along with a guidebook or online classes to help her transform old or thrifted clothing into upcycled masterpieces.

4. Eco-Friendly Jewelry: Sustainable jewelry made from recycled materials or ethically sourced stones can be a great gift. Look for unique pieces such as handcrafted earrings made from recycled metals or a dainty necklace made with sustainably sourced gemstones.

5. Zero Waste Starter Kit: Help her embrace a more sustainable lifestyle by putting together a zero waste starter kit. Include reusable items like a stainless steel water bottle, bamboo cutlery set, cloth produce bags, and a set of reusable beeswax wraps. This gift will not only support her passion for sustainability but also help her in reducing waste and building eco-friendly habits.

6. Sustainable Fashion Books: Expand her knowledge and understanding of sustainable fashion with insightful books on the subject. Look for titles such as "Fashion Revolution: A Conversation to Change the World" by Orsola de Castro and Carry Somers, or "To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing out the World?" by Lucy Siegle. These books will provide her with greater insight into the impact of the fashion industry and inspire her to continue making conscious choices.

7. Local Experiences: Research local events or workshops that focus on sustainable fashion, such as clothing swaps, upcycling events, or eco-fashion exhibitions. Purchase tickets to specific events or create a calendar of upcoming experiences for her to choose from. This will allow her to explore her passion while supporting local initiatives.

Remember, the most important aspect is to show your daughter that you understand and support her interests. Personalize these gift ideas by incorporating her favorite colors, patterns, or brands. By giving her a meaningful and personal gift, you'll be sure to make her birthday even more special.

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.”
