Five Star Gift Ideas

If your mom enjoys attending TED Talks, I have a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that she might appreciate.

1. TED Talk Subscription: A TED Talks subscription would make a fantastic gift for your mom. It will give her access to a world of inspiring and thought-provoking talks on a wide range of topics. She can explore new ideas, gain insights, and find motivation from the diverse community of speakers.

2. Tickets to a TEDx Event: TEDx events are independently organized TED-like conferences that take place in different cities worldwide. Finding out if there are any upcoming TEDx events in your area and getting tickets for your mom would allow her to experience the magic of TED Talks in person. It will give her the chance to engage with like-minded individuals, discover new ideas, and connect with the speakers.

3. TED Merchandise: If your mom's enthusiasm for TED Talks extends to being a fan of the brand, consider getting her some TED merchandise. This could include a TED t-shirt, tote bag, or even a TED book. These items not only make for great conversation starters but also allow your mom to display her love for TED in a tangible way.

4. Inspiration Journals: Encourage your mom to reflect and jot down her thoughts and ideas with an inspiration journal. There are several beautifully designed journals available that include prompts and quotes to spark creativity and introspection. This gift would complement her TED Talk experience by providing a space to capture the inspiration she derives from the talks.

5. Personalized TED Talk Playlist: Compile a personalized TED Talk playlist based on your mom's interests. Spend some time researching talks on topics that align with her passions. For example, if she's interested in psychology, find engaging talks on that subject. Put the playlist together and present it to her as a meaningful and curated collection of talks she can enjoy whenever she wants.

6. Membership to a Public Speaking Club: If your mom has expressed an interest in public speaking or furthering her communication skills, consider gifting her a membership to a local public speaking club or organization. These groups often provide supportive environments and training to help members improve their speaking abilities and confidence. This gift would give your mom the opportunity to engage with fellow public speakers, attend workshops, and potentially even give her own TED-like talk in the future.

Remember, the most important thing is to consider your mom's interests and preferences while choosing a gift. By selecting something related to her love for TED Talks, you'll be showing her that you value her passions and want to support her in continuing her intellectual journey.

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

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
