Five Star Gift Ideas

If your daughter loves watching true crime documentaries, there are plenty of thoughtful and personal gift ideas that can enhance her interest and passion for this genre. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. True Crime Books: Expand her library with gripping true crime books written by renowned authors. Some popular titles include "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote, "Helter Skelter" by Vincent Bugliosi, and "The Stranger Beside Me" by Ann Rule.

2. Crime Podcast Subscriptions: Subscription to popular true crime podcasts like "Serial," "My Favorite Murder," or "Criminal" can provide her with hours of engrossing content and keep her updated on the latest cases.

3. Personalized Detective Novel: Surprise her with a personalized detective novel where she becomes the main character. Several websites offer customizable detective novels that can be tailored to include her name, appearance, and even her hometown, making the reading experience even more exciting.

4. DIY Crime Scene Kit: Put together a DIY crime scene kit that includes essential tools such as fingerprint powder, tape measure, magnifying glass, and evidence bags. This gift will not only cater to her interest but also provide opportunities for DIY investigations.

5. True Crime Merchandise: Browse for true crime merchandise such as t-shirts, mugs, and posters featuring her favorite documentaries or famous phrases associated with the genre. These items can be both fun and practical, allowing her to express her passion in her everyday life.

6. Tickets to Crime Con: Investigate if Crime Con, a true crime convention, is happening in a city near you. Gifting her the opportunity to attend this event would allow her to immerse herself in a world filled with fellow true crime enthusiasts, panel discussions, and meet-and-greets with renowned crime storytellers.

7. True Crime Subscription Boxes: Consider signing her up for a true crime-themed subscription box. These boxes typically include intriguing, crime-related items such as books, puzzles, artwork, and exclusive merchandise that will keep her engaged and excited throughout the year.

8. Crime Scene Jigsaw Puzzle: Engage her problem-solving skills with a crime scene-themed jigsaw puzzle. These puzzles often depict a crime scene and challenge the solver to piece together the clues to solve the mystery.

9. True Crime Documentary DVDs or Blu-rays: If your daughter prefers watching documentaries on physical media, gift her a selection of DVDs or Blu-rays featuring popular or lesser-known true crime documentaries. This will enable her to explore this genre further and discover new cases and stories.

10. Crime Mapping or Investigation Board: Set up a dedicated space in her room to create a crime mapping or investigation board. You can include a bulletin board, string, pins, and a collection of crime-related materials for her to analyze and organize.

Remember, the key to finding a meaningful gift is to tap into her interests and provide her with something that enhances her experience and enjoyment of true crime documentaries.

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