Five Star Gift Ideas

When it comes to finding a birthday gift for your daughter who loves TED Talks and public speaking, there are plenty of meaningful and personal options to consider. Here are a few ideas that might resonate with her passion and interests:

1. Ticket to a TEDx Event: TEDx events are independently organized conferences that bring together inspiring speakers and ideas. Look for upcoming TEDx events in your area and surprise your daughter with a ticket. This will not only give her the opportunity to listen to engaging talks, but also connect with like-minded individuals who share her passion.

2. Masterclass on Public Speaking: Help your daughter enhance her public speaking skills by gifting her access to an online masterclass led by renowned speakers and experts. Platforms like MasterClass offer courses taught by professionals such as Chris Voss (negotiation and communication) and Neil Gaiman (storytelling), which can inspire and motivate her to further develop her speaking abilities.

3. Inspirational Books: Consider selecting a few books that delve into the art of public speaking and storytelling. "Talk Like TED" by Carmine Gallo and "TED Talks: The Official Guide to Public Speaking" by Chris Anderson are both excellent resources that can provide her with valuable techniques, tips, and insights from successful speakers.

4. Public Speaking Coaching Session: If your daughter is serious about improving her public speaking skills, consider arranging a coaching session with a professional public speaking coach. This personalized guidance can provide her with constructive feedback, help build her confidence, and refine her delivery.

5. Voice Recorder or Smart Pen: A voice recorder or smart pen can be a practical and thoughtful gift for your daughter. She can utilize these tools to record mock speeches, practice her creativity, or transcribe her thoughts and ideas. This can be especially useful for her to review and improve her speaking skills.

6. Membership to Toastmasters International: Toastmasters is a renowned organization that focuses on developing public speaking and leadership skills through regular meetings, workshops, and friendly competitions. A membership to a local Toastmasters club can provide your daughter with a supportive community and a platform to enhance her communication abilities.

Remember, the key to a meaningful and personal gift lies in understanding your daughter's interests and passions. By incorporating her love for TED Talks and public speaking into your gift, you are not only showing your support for her hobbies but also encouraging her personal growth and development in a field she is passionate about.

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.”
