Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who loves studying ancient history, I have some unique and meaningful gift ideas that I am sure she will cherish:

1. Books on Ancient History: Consider expanding her collection of texts on ancient history. Look for books written by well-known scholars in the field or new releases that delve deeper into specific periods or civilizations that she finds fascinating. You can also look for beautifully illustrated coffee table books that showcase ancient artifacts and monuments.

2. Virtual Museum Membership: Give your mom access to the fascinating world of ancient history without leaving home. Purchase a virtual museum membership to a renowned institution like the British Museum or the Louvre. She can explore their collections online, attend virtual lectures, and access exclusive exhibits from the comfort of her own home.

3. Historical Fiction Novels: If your mom enjoys historical fiction, gift her some well-researched novels set in ancient times. Look for acclaimed authors like Bernard Cornwell or Margaret George, or explore lesser-known works focused on ancient civilizations such as Rome, Egypt, or Greece. Historical fiction can transport her to different eras and provide a unique perspective on the stories she loves.

4. Documentary Series or Films: Choose a selection of documentary series or films that delve into ancient history. Look for options that cover various aspects like architecture, daily life, mythology, or prominent figures from different civilizations. Some highly recommended titles include "Civilizations" by PBS, "Ancient Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire," or "The Story of Egypt" by BBC.

5. Ancient History-themed Jewelry: Surprise your mom with a piece of jewelry inspired by ancient symbols or motifs. You can consider a necklace with a small pendant resembling an ancient Egyptian hieroglyph or a bracelet adorned with Greek key patterns. This gift will not only reflect her interest in ancient history but also serve as a personal and stylish accessory.

6. Online Course or Workshop: If your mom has a strong desire to expand her knowledge, gift her an online course or workshop on ancient history. Platforms like Coursera or Udemy offer a wide range of options taught by experts in the field. Whether she wants to learn about specific civilizations or general historical analysis, an online course will fuel her passion and provide a structured learning experience.

7. Ancient History-themed Board Games: Consider engaging your mom in a fun and educational activity by gifting her an ancient history-themed board game. There are various options available that allow players to immerse themselves in the worlds of ancient civilizations, like "7 Wonders" or "Imhotep." These games not only offer enjoyable gameplay but also provide insights into ancient cultures and strategies.

Remember to add a heartfelt note expressing your appreciation for your mom's love of ancient history. It will add a personal touch and let her know that you genuinely value her interests.

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”
