Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandma who loves studying ancient history and civilizations, I have a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that she might truly appreciate:

1. Books on Ancient History: Consider gifting her a collection of books related to ancient civilizations, such as "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari or "The Story of Civilization" by Will Durant. These books will allow her to delve deeper into the subjects she loves and explore various ancient civilizations.

2. Virtual Museum Tour: Since visiting museums might not be feasible for everyone, especially during this time, you can gift her a virtual tour experience of ancient history and civilizations. Many museums offer virtual tours that provide detailed insights into artifacts and historical sites. This way, she can enjoy exploring ancient history from the comfort of her home.

3. Ancient History Documentary Set: There are several captivating and educational documentaries available on ancient civilizations. Consider purchasing a well-curated set of ancient history documentaries that cover different aspects of ancient civilizations, such as Egypt, Rome, Greece, or Mesopotamia. This will allow your grandma to immerse herself in various ancient cultures.

4. Historical Puzzles or Board Games: For a fun and engaging gift option, you could consider ancient history-themed puzzles or board games. These games often require knowledge and strategy, making them both educational and entertaining. Games such as "7 Wonders" or "Imhotep" can provide an interactive way for your grandma and the family to explore ancient civilizations together.

5. Customized Jewelry: Another thoughtful gift idea is a piece of jewelry that is inspired by ancient civilizations. Look for necklaces, rings, or bracelets that incorporate symbols or motifs from ancient cultures she is particularly interested in, like Egyptian hieroglyphs or Roman inspired designs. A personalized touch like this would surely make the gift more meaningful.

6. Subscription to History Magazines: Consider subscribing your grandma to a history magazine or an archaeology publication. This way, she can receive regular updates and articles on ancient history and civilizations, keeping her informed and engaged with her passion throughout the year.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your grandma that you care and have put thought into selecting a gift based on her interests. Tailor the gift to her specific preferences, and you can be sure that she will appreciate the effort and love behind it.

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