Five Star Gift Ideas

If your daughter has a keen interest in urbex (urban exploring), there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas you can consider to encourage and support her passion for this unique hobby. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Urbex Gear: While exploring abandoned spaces, safety is always a priority. Consider gifting her some essential urbex gear, such as a sturdy pair of hiking boots, a durable backpack for carrying equipment, a headlamp or flashlight with long battery life, and a quality camera or GoPro. These items will not only enhance her urbex adventures but also ensure her safety and help her capture incredible photos.

2. Guide Books and Maps: Urbex enthusiasts often love discovering new and unexplored urban locations. Help her expand her urbex horizons by gifting her guidebooks and maps to different cities or regions known for their abandoned buildings and hidden gems. This can inspire her to explore new places and make her adventures even more exciting.

3. Photography Classes or Workshops: Urbex and photography often go hand in hand. If your daughter is interested in capturing the beauty of decay and abandoned spaces, consider enrolling her in a photography class or workshop specifically focused on urbex photography. This will enhance her skills, teach her new techniques, and connect her with like-minded individuals who share her passion.

4. Membership to Urbex Organizations or Forums: There are various urbex organizations and online forums dedicated to urban exploration. Gifting her a membership to these platforms will give her access to a community of fellow urbex enthusiasts, where she can learn from experienced explorers, share her own findings, and engage in discussions about urbex-related topics.

5. Urbex Artwork or Prints: Urbex is often considered an art form itself, with its captivating aesthetic and storytelling potential. Surprise your daughter with a unique piece of urbex-inspired artwork or prints by a talented photographer or artist specializing in urban exploration. It could be a photograph of an abandoned building, a painting reflecting the beauty of decay, or a mixed media piece capturing the spirit of urbex.

6. DIY Urbex Starter Kit: Encourage your daughter's passion by putting together a DIY urbex starter kit. Include items like a disposable camera (to capture the gritty essence of urbex), a notepad and pens for sketching or jotting down thoughts, a compass, a multitool, and even some urban exploring-themed books or documentaries. Personalize the kit based on her specific interests within urbex.

Remember, the key to finding the perfect gift is understanding your daughter's preferences and interests within the field of urbex. By tailoring your gift choice to her individual style, you'll be showing her your appreciation and support for her passion.

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