Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who enjoys documentary films and true crime podcasts, there are plenty of thoughtful and exciting gift options that align with her interests. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Subscription to a True Crime Podcast: Give your daughter the gift of ongoing entertainment by gifting her a subscription to a true crime podcast network such as "My Favorite Murder," "Crime Junkie," or "Criminal." These subscriptions will provide her with a constant stream of fascinating and thrilling stories.

2. Documentary DVD Box Set: Curate a collection of documentary films that cover a range of subjects she may find interesting. Look for critically acclaimed titles like "Making a Murderer," "The Jinx," "The Staircase," or "Tiger King." This will allow her to indulge in her love for documentaries at her leisure.

3. True Crime Book Club Membership: If your daughter enjoys reading, consider signing her up for a true crime book club. Many online platforms offer monthly book subscriptions where she will receive true crime novels delivered straight to her doorstep. This will give her the opportunity to explore the genre beyond podcasts and documentaries.

4. Crime Scene Investigation Workshop: If you want to give your daughter a unique and hands-on experience, consider enrolling her in a crime scene investigation workshop or forensic science class. These interactive sessions allow participants to analyze evidence, solve crimes, and gain a deeper understanding of the true crime world.

5. Documentary Film Festival Tickets: If there's a documentary film festival happening nearby or even virtually, surprise your daughter with tickets. This will give her the chance to explore new films, attend Q&A sessions with filmmakers, and immerse herself in the documentary community.

6. True Crime Merchandise: Many podcasts and documentary series have merchandise such as t-shirts, mugs, posters, and stickers. Take a look at her favorite podcasts' online stores or websites for true crime-themed goodies that she can proudly display and wear.

7. Gift Card for a Streaming Service: Purchase a gift card for a popular streaming service like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video. These platforms have an extensive library of true crime documentaries and series to satisfy your daughter's love for the genre.

Remember, it's not just the gift itself that matters but also the thought behind it. Choose something that shows you've taken the time to think about her interests and preferences. Whether it's a ticket to a film festival or a monthly subscription, personalized gifts like these will make her feel seen and cherished.

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