Five Star Gift Ideas

As a gift for your daughter who loves computer programming, you can look for gifts that will help her enhance her skills and interests in the field of programming. Here are a few gift ideas that can be perfect for your daughter:

1. Beginners Programming Course: Enrolling your daughter in a beginner's programming course can be a great gift to help her learn and improve her programming skills. Look for an online course or an in-person course depending on your daughter's preference.

2. Programmable Robots: Programmable robots can be a great gift for your daughter as they can help her understand how programming works in a physical context. This can also be an excellent opportunity for her to experiment with creativity and come up with innovative ideas.

3. Development Boards: A development board is a circuit board with most of the required components that allow your daughter to experiment with programming for projects of their own design. The boards range from Microbit to Raspberry Pi depending on age and interest.

4. Programming books: Programming books that are well written and structured can be a great gift for your daughter, giving her the chance to learn about software development and concepts in programming, as well as the language she is already comfortable with.

5. Code editors and IDEs: The right code editor or integrated development environment (IDE) can make a big difference to your daughter's productivity, ease of programming, and without learning a more complex IDE early on, ease her into more complex software. Some of the most popular ones include Microsoft's Visual Studio Code and JetBrains' PyCharm.

6. Coding accessories: Another idea to consider is to buy her some coding accessories, such as a programmer's hoodie, keyboard or mouse specifically optimized for coding, or even a programming-themed mug for her tea, a t-shirt proclaiming 'Code is the new Black' or similar. These small gestures communicate understanding and support for your daughter's passions.

In conclusion, each of these gifts can act as a stepping stone for your daughter to healthy programming practices, creative experimentation, and improvement of important problem-solving and organizational skills. Take care to choose gifts that will suit her level of proficiency, interests and goals in the field of programming.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
