Five Star Gift Ideas

For a granddaughter who really likes history documentaries, there are a number of potential gift options you could consider that could be both meaningful and personal. Here are a few ideas:

1. Historical Fiction Novel: Consider purchasing her a historical fiction novel that covers a topic she’s interested in. For example, if she enjoys documentaries about World War II, you could purchase her "The Nightingale" by Kristin Hannah, which is set in France during the war. This will allow her to immerse herself in a compelling story that brings history to life.

2. Virtual Tour of a Historical Location: Many museums and historical locations now offer virtual tours that allow you to explore their respective locations from the comfort of your own home. Research if there are virtual tours available for any of the historical events, artifacts, or locations she is most interested in. You can then gift her a ticket to a virtual tour or make a date to attend the virtual tour with her.

3. Subscription to a History Magazine or Documentary Channel: Consider a subscription to a magazine such as National Geographic, which features articles and photos that explore different historical or cultural topics. If she likes to watch history documentaries, you could buy her a subscription to a streaming service such as History or Smithsonian Channel Plus, which offer documentaries about a variety of historical topics.

4. Historical Board Games or Puzzles: Another gift option could be a historical game or puzzle that she could work on while also learning. For example, the board game "Risk" is based on historical events, while a "1000 piece World Map Puzzle" is not only challenging but educational.

5. Customized History Journal or Notebook: Get a journal or notebook customized with a historical theme. This could be used to take notes about history that she is interested in, as well as serve as a scanning platform for further research.

6. Personalized History Tour: If there are historical places or museums where you live, you could plan a special tour for her. It will be a meaningful and personal experience to go on a historical site-seeing trip that has been catered specifically to her areas of interest.

These are just a few gift options for your history-buff granddaughter. A gift that caters to her interests shows that you listen to what she likes and value intellectually stimulating hobbies.

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