Five Star Gift Ideas

There are many great gift options for a grandmother who loves history.

First, consider getting her a book on a topic that she's interested in. You can find plenty of books about historical events or figures, or even novels set in a certain time period. Some bestselling authors in historical fiction include Philippa Gregory, Ken Follett, and Diana Gabaldon.

Another idea would be to get her a subscription to a magazine or website that focuses on history. A few great options include National Geographic History, Smithsonian Magazine, and History Today.

If your grandma enjoys art, consider giving her a print or replica of a famous painting or sculpture from the past. You can also look for prints of historical maps or photographs.

For a more interactive gift, consider taking your grandma on a tour of a historical site or museum. Many cities have historic homes, museums, or other landmarks that offer guided tours. If you can't take her in person, look for virtual tours or webinars that focus on a particular historical era or event.

Finally, you might consider creating a scrapbook or photo album of your family's history. Go through old photos together and write down the stories and memories that go along with them. You could even use online resources like Ancestry.com to research your family tree and include historical information about your ancestors. This would be a thoughtful and personal gift that would likely mean a lot to your grandmother.

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