Five Star Gift Ideas

If your daughter is interested in stone carving, there are several unique and personal gifts that you can give her that will cater to her passion.

1. Stone Carving Tools - Stone carving is a technical skill and requires specialized tools to create intricate designs. A set of quality carving chisels, hammers and rasps can be a fantastic gift, and show your daughter that you’ve invested in her passion.

2. Carving Stone - The perfect complement to the tools is the carving stone itself. Depending on where you live you may be able to visit a local sculpture or art supply store to source good quality, softer stones such as soapstone, alabaster or limestone. Additionally, there are a number of online marketplaces specializing in unique carving stones including but not limited to Amazon, eBay, and Opal Auctions.

3. Sculpture Magazine Subscription - Give your daughter a monthly dose of inspiration with a subscription to Sculpture Magazine. This publication is dedicated to contemporary and modern sculpture, with articles about new tools, techniques, and interviews with artists from around the world.

4. Artistic Retreat - If your daughter is serious about carving, an immersive experience could be just what she needs to take her work to the next level. Search for carving retreats or classes that are held by experts in carving. This will give her the chance to learn and network with other like minded artists, fuel her inspiration and passion while enjoying a heightened level of instruction.

5. Carving Books - Though your daughter is passionate about stone carving, there is always something new to learn. Look for books on various techniques, styles, and history of stone carving, giving her another way to expand her skills and learn more about her craft.

By choosing a gift that caters to your daughter's specific passion in stone carving, you are not only fostering her creativity, but also encouraging her to explore and learn more about something she truly loves.

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