Five Star Gift Ideas

If your daughter is passionate about survival skills training, there are several meaningful and exciting gift ideas you could consider. Here are a few suggestions to help you find the perfect Christmas gift:

1. Outdoor Gear: Equip your daughter with quality outdoor gear that will enhance her survival training experiences. Look for items such as a durable backpack, a multi-purpose survival knife, a high-quality tent, a reliable water filter, or a compact solar charger. These tools will not only improve her skills but also ensure her safety and comfort during outdoor adventures.

2. Survival Books: Consider adding to her collection of survival books. Look for renowned authors who provide comprehensive guides on wilderness survival skills, first aid, plant identification, and essential outdoor knowledge. Books like "SAS Survival Handbook" by John 'Lofty' Wiseman or "Bushcraft 101" by Dave Canterbury would be excellent additions to her library.

3. Survival Course or Workshop: Research local survival schools or outdoor organizations that offer survival courses or workshops. Enroll your daughter in a program that aligns with her interests and skill level. These courses can provide hands-on experience, teach her new techniques, and allow her to connect with like-minded individuals who share her passion.

4. Subscription to Outdoor Magazines: Sign her up for a subscription to popular outdoor magazines that focus on survival skills, camping, hiking, or bushcraft. These magazines often feature informative articles, gear reviews, and inspiring stories that will keep her motivated and up-to-date with the latest trends and techniques.

5. Survival Kit or DIY Project: Explore the possibility of creating a personalized survival kit together or gifting her a DIY survival project. You could curate a specialized kit that includes emergency essentials such as fire starters, waterproof matches, a compass, a whistle, a signaling mirror, and a small first aid kit. Alternatively, you could gift her a DIY project like building a shelter, making natural cordage, or crafting her own fire piston.

6. Outdoor Experience or Adventure: Plan an outdoor experience or adventure that will allow your daughter to put her survival skills into practice. It could be a weekend camping trip, a wilderness backpacking excursion, or a guided survival challenge. This hands-on experience will not only be thrilling but also provide her with valuable opportunities to learn and grow.

Remember to consider your daughter's individual preferences and skill level when choosing a gift. Overall, these suggestions aim to enhance her survival training, expand her knowledge, and provide opportunities for her to apply the skills she's learned in a meaningful way.

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