Five Star Gift Ideas

That's wonderful to hear that your daughter is passionate about philanthropy and social activism! Here are a few gift ideas that can align with her interests and make her holiday season even more meaningful:

1. Donation in her name: Consider making a donation to a cause close to her heart in her name. This could be a charity she supports or an organization that focuses on social causes that she believes in. Many organizations offer the option to send a digital or physical certificate recognizing the donation, which can serve as a thoughtful and meaningful gift.

2. Volunteer experience: Help your daughter make a difference by organizing a volunteer experience for her. Find out if there are local organizations that offer opportunities to contribute to social causes, such as serving meals at a homeless shelter or tutoring underprivileged children. This gift will not only provide her with an opportunity to give back to the community but also allow her to gain firsthand experience in the field of philanthropy.

3. Books on philanthropy and activism: Consider gifting her a selection of books on philanthropy and activism by inspiring authors. Books like "Just Mercy" by Bryan Stevenson, "The Social Animal" by David Brooks, or "Half the Sky" by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn can offer insights into pressing social issues and inspire her to take her activism to the next level.

4. Membership to a social advocacy organization: Help her expand her network and deepen her involvement in causes she cares about by gifting her a membership to a social advocacy organization. There are many organizations dedicated to various causes, such as human rights, climate change, or gender equality. A membership can provide her with access to events, conferences, workshops, and a community of like-minded individuals.

5. Personalized social activist merchandise: If she loves to make a statement with her apparel or accessories, consider gifting her personalized merchandise that showcases her passion for social activism. This could be a t-shirt or hoodie with empowering slogans, a custom-made necklace or bracelet with a symbol representing her cause, or even a custom-made phone case with a design that reflects her activism.

Remember, the most important aspect of a meaningful gift is that it resonates with the recipient's interests and passions. By choosing a gift that aligns with your daughter's love for philanthropy and social activism, you can show your support for her passions while also encouraging her to continue making a positive impact on the world.

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