Five Star Gift Ideas

It’s wonderful to hear that your granddaughter is interested in charity work! It’s always a good feeling to give back to society, and I have a few ideas that might help you select the perfect birthday gift for her.

One idea could be to make a charitable donation on your granddaughter's behalf. You can browse through various charities that she would be interested in supporting and select the one that resonates with her the most. Some popular options for charitable donations include organizations that work towards animal welfare, education, healthcare, human rights, and environmental issues. Once you’ve made the donation, you can present her with the certificate and some information on the charity to let her know that her birthday gift has gone towards making a difference.

Another idea for a birthday present could be gifting her a volunteering experience at a local charity. This would not only be a thoughtful gesture but also allow her to get involved in the charity work she is passionate about. Many organisations such as Dog shelters, senior centers, hospitals, and non-profit food pantries recruit volunteers to help in their efforts, and it could be an excellent way for your granddaughter to gain hands-on experience while giving back to her community.

You could also get her a book or a membership to an online community that could help her further her interest in charity work. There are several books and online resources that could be valuable to someone who wants to learn more about charity work and the different ways to get involved. Some popular books include "Love in Action" by Thich Nhat Hanh and "Giving 2.0" by Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen. Additionally, there are several online communities, such as Idealist (https://www.idealist.org/), that provide a platform for people interested in charity work to connect, exchange ideas, and find volunteer opportunities.

Lastly, you could consider gifting her an ethical or sustainable product that supports a charitable cause. For example, some companies donate a portion of their profits to a related cause, so you can be sure that part of her gift goes towards making a difference. These items could be anything from T-shirts, artisanal jewelry, bags, and even candles. A popular option for this would be purchasing jewelry or accessory items made by local artisans, like fair trade bags, which can help them to sustainably support their communities.

I hope these ideas give you inspiration on what to get your granddaughter for her birthday. You know her better than anyone, so think about what will make her feel most meaningful and personal to her!

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.”
