Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who loves urban exploration and abandoned site visiting, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas you can consider. These gifts not only celebrate her interest but also enhance her experiences and keep her safe during her adventures.

1. A GoPro Camera: Encourage your daughter to capture her urban explorations and document her abandoned site visits with a high-quality action camera like the GoPro. This will allow her to relive her experiences and share them with others, while also providing her with the opportunity to create amazing time-lapse videos and stunning photographs.

2. Urban Exploration Guidebooks: Help your daughter discover new and exciting locations with guidebooks specifically focused on urban exploration and abandoned sites. These books provide detailed information, historical background, and tips on the best places to explore. Some popular choices include "Abandoned America: Dismantling the Dream" by Matthew Christopher and "Forgotten New York: Views of a Lost Metropolis" by Kevin Walsh.

3. Safety Gear: Urban exploration can sometimes involve risks, so consider gifting your daughter some essential safety equipment. This may include a sturdy pair of boots for better traction, a flashlight with a long battery life for exploring dark areas, a first aid kit, and a multi-tool for various situations.

4. Subscription to an Urban Exploration Magazine: Sign your daughter up for a subscription to a magazine specializing in urban exploration and abandoned sites. Subscriptions like "Atlas Obscura" or "Abandoned" provide captivating stories, stunning photography, and insider tips on the most intriguing and lesser-known abandoned locations around the world.

5. Photography Class or Workshop: Help your daughter refine her photography skills by enrolling her in a photography class or workshop focused on capturing urban decay and abandoned spaces. This will not only enhance her photography techniques but also deepen her understanding and appreciation for the places she explores.

6. Custom Map Artwork: Consider commissioning a custom piece of artwork for your daughter that depicts her favorite urban exploration sites or a map of significant abandoned locations she has visited. This personalized gift will serve as a unique and decorative reminder of her passion.

7. Go on an Urban Exploration Adventure Together: Arrange a special outing for just the two of you to explore an abandoned site or take a guided urban exploration tour. This allows you to bond over a shared interest and create lasting memories together.

Remember, it's important to prioritize safety when engaging in urban exploration and abandoned site visits. Make sure your daughter is well-informed about the potential risks and explores with a buddy or group whenever possible.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“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.”
