Five Star Gift Ideas

If your mom is a fan of model building, you have plenty of great options to choose from when it comes to birthday gifts. Here are some ideas for different types of model building that your mother might enjoy.

For plane model building, you could consider purchasing a kit for her to build at her leisure. Hobby stores like Hobby Lobby and Michael's sell kits for various skill levels so that she can choose one that is challenging enough to keep her interested, but not so difficult that it will frustrate her. If your mom is an experienced model builder, you could also look into getting her a set of high-quality paints or brushes to help her create more detailed and professional-looking models.

If your mom is into train model building, there are a lot of different directions you could take. For example, you could get her a train set to build and display, or a book about the history of trains to inspire her to create a particular type of model. You could also look into getting her a more advanced kit with more specific instructions and parts to make her model more realistic. A good resource to start with would be the Walthers website, which offers a wide range of train model building items.

Finally, if your mom enjoys building car models, you could look into getting her a kit for a vintage or classic car that she might enjoy building. Many model kits offer options for multiple versions of the same car, so she could enjoy trying out different styles and finishes. Another option is to get her a kit that includes multiple cars, so she can build a full garage of classic rides.

One tip to keep in mind when looking for a model building gift for your mom is to find out what types of specific models she enjoys building. Everyone has their particular passions and interests, so be sure to ask her about her favorite planes, trains, or cars to make sure your gift is tailored to her particular interests. You can also join her in building the model or possibly assist her in finding new models to build. Not only will this create a fun and interactive experience, but it will also strengthen your relationship with her.

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”
