Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who loves urban exploring and photographing abandoned places, I have a few thoughtful and unique gift ideas that she will surely appreciate:

1. Photography Gear: As a budding photographer, your granddaughter will always appreciate new equipment to enhance her skills. Consider getting her a high-quality camera or lens that will allow her to capture those abandoned places with even more detail and clarity. A tripod can also be a great addition to her gear, to help stabilize her shots in low-light or tricky environments.

2. Books on Urban Exploration: There are several fascinating books available that showcase the works of renowned urban explorers. These books not only provide inspiration but also valuable insights into the art of capturing abandoned places. Some recommended titles include "Beauty in Decay" by RomanyWG and "Abandoned Places: A Photographic Exploration of More Than 100 Worlds We Have Left Behind" by Kieron Connolly.

3. Abandoned Places Calendar: Help your granddaughter stay inspired throughout the year by gifting her an abandoned places calendar. These calendars often feature breathtaking images of forgotten locations, and each month will bring a new source of inspiration for her next urban exploration adventure.

4. Unique Photo Prints: Consider selecting some of her best urban exploration photographs and having them printed and framed. This will not only showcase her talent but also provide her with a personal and meaningful display of her work. You could also create a photo book compiling her best shots, which will allow her to share her passion with others.

5. Urban Exploration Travel Guide: If your granddaughter enjoys traveling to explore new abandoned places, a comprehensive travel guide focusing on urban exploration can be a fantastic gift. These guides provide detailed information on the best locations, safety tips, and legal aspects of urban exploring. Some notable options include "Access All Areas: A User's Guide to the Art of Urban Exploration" by Ninjalicious and "Abandoned Places: A Guide to Forgotten, Overlooked, and Downright Creepy Spots" by Richard Happer.

6. Join a Photography Workshop or Tour: Another fantastic gift idea is to enroll your granddaughter in a photography workshop or tour centered around urban exploration. These experiences offer the chance to learn new techniques, connect with like-minded individuals, and explore new locations in a safe and guided manner. These workshops can range from beginner-friendly to more advanced levels, so choose one that suits her skill level and interests.

Remember, the most important aspect of a gift is thoughtfulness and understanding the recipient's interests. By selecting a present that aligns with your granddaughter's passion for urban exploring and abandoned places, you are not only showing her how much you care but also encouraging her creative pursuits.

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.”
