Five Star Gift Ideas

When considering a Christmas gift for your daughter who appreciates "gay things," it's important to celebrate her identity and interests in a meaningful and supportive way. Here are some thoughtful gift ideas that encompass a range of styles, tastes, and experiences:

1. **Pride-Themed Jewelry**: Consider gifting her a piece of jewelry that subtly yet powerfully celebrates her identity, like a necklace or bracelet featuring Pride colors or symbols. These can be worn as everyday reminders of pride and self-affirmation.

2. **Inclusive Books**: There is a wealth of literature that celebrates LGBTQ+ stories and authors. Choose a selection of novels, memoirs, or even graphic novels that resonate with her interests. Titles like "Red, White & Royal Blue" by Casey McQuiston or "The Miseducation of Cameron Post" by Emily M. Danforth might appeal, depending on her reading preferences.

3. **Art Prints or Decor**: Gift her art prints or decor items created by LGBTQ+ artists or featuring queer themes. Websites like Etsy offer unique items that can enliven her space and reflect her personality and pride.

4. **Subscription Services**: Consider a subscription to a queer-themed magazine or streaming service that focuses on LGBTQ+ content. This way, she can enjoy new stories and perspectives throughout the year.

5. **DIY Kit with a Twist**: If she’s into crafts, find a DIY kit with a rainbow or queer theme. This could include a cross-stitching set, painting kit, or even a pride-themed knitting project that allows her to express creativity.

6. **LGBTQ+ Experience**: Look for events that celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, such as local drag shows, pride parades, or cultural exhibitions, and plan a day to attend one together. Creating lasting memories can be one of the most cherished gifts.

7. **Customizable Item**: Personalized gifts like a custom illustration or a piece of clothing with a meaningful phrase or inside joke related to her identity can convey your love and support.

8. **Donation in Her Name**: If she’s passionate about activism, consider donating to an LGBTQ+ organization or charity in her name. Provide her with the information and impact of the donation, showing a commitment to causes she cares about.

9. **A Diary or Journal**: Encourage self-expression with a beautifully bound journal. Opt for one with an inspiring or affirming message embossed on the cover, supporting her to document her journey and experiences.

These gifts not only honor her identity but also offer daily reminders of acceptance and love while supporting her interests and passions.

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