Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who is passionate about urban exploring and abandoned place photography, there are several gift options that would both support her hobbies and deepen her passion for this unique form of art.

1. Photography Equipment: A high-quality camera is essential for capturing amazing photographs. Consider investing in a DSLR camera with manual controls that will allow her to capture the details and atmosphere of the abandoned places she explores. Additionally, a wide-angle lens would be a great investment to help her capture the scale and grandeur of these locations.

2. Photography Accessories: To enhance her photography experience, you can gift her a sturdy tripod to capture stable shots, especially in low light conditions. A camera bag or backpack would also be useful for her to carry her equipment comfortably and safely during her explorations.

3. Books on Urban Exploration: There are several books available that delve into the world of urban exploration, showcasing breathtaking photographs and telling the stories behind the abandoned places. Consider gifting her books like "Abandoned America: The Age of Consequences" by Matthew Christopher or "Beauty in Decay: Urbex" by RomanyWG. These books can serve as inspiration and provide her with new perspectives while fueling her passion for urban exploration.

4. Photography Workshops or Courses: Encourage her to further enhance her skills by enrolling her in a photography workshop or course focused on urban exploration or night photography. This will not only provide her with expert guidance but also allow her to connect with like-minded individuals and expand her knowledge in this niche genre of photography.

5. Urbex Magazine Subscription: Consider gifting her a subscription to a magazine dedicated to urban exploration and photography. This way, she can stay updated with the latest trends, read inspiring stories, and learn from experienced photographers in the field.

6. Customized Prints: Take her best shots and turn them into personalized prints that she can display in her room or create a photo collage to celebrate her passion for urban exploring. This will not only showcase her talent but also serve as a reminder of her love for exploring abandoned places.

7. Safety Gear: Safety should be a priority while exploring abandoned places. Consider gifting her essential safety gear such as a good quality flashlight, a first aid kit, dust masks, and gloves to ensure her well-being during her adventures.

Remember, it's not just about the gifts themselves but also about showing your support and understanding for her interests. By providing her with the tools, resources, and encouragement to pursue her passion for urban exploration and abandoned place photography, you will not only make her Christmas special but also help her grow as an artist in her chosen field.

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