Five Star Gift Ideas

For a granddaughter who is fascinated by ancient history, there are a multitude of exciting and educational gift ideas that could make her holiday season memorable.

One potential gift option is a book or series of books focused on ancient history topics. This could range from stories of legendary ancient heroes and heroines, to in-depth guides about the daily lives of people in ancient societies. She may also enjoy illustrated books about ancient artifacts and discoveries, or atlases that explore ancient geography and civilizations.

If your granddaughter has an interest in specific ancient cultures, you could explore putting together a curated collection of books and resources centered around that area or people. For example, if she has a fascination with ancient Egypt, you could purchase illustrated books about mummies, pyramids and pharaohs, or even a guide on hieroglyphics.

Another excellent gift idea is a voucher for a local museum or exhibition. Many museums have special exhibits devoted to ancient history and civilizations, presenting an opportunity to see historical artifacts in person and learn. It can also spark a sense of community by taking her for a day trip to the museum.

If your granddaughter is a creative person, you may want to consider purchasing art supplies she can use to create her own pieces inspired by ancient history. From sketchbooks and pencils to pottery kits, there are many options to fit different interests and skill levels.

Similarly, if your granddaughter enjoys games, adventure or puzzles, consider giving a board game based on myths, legends or history. Playing games with ancient history themes can help her build knowledge of the time periods she's interested in while having fun.

Finally, a great idea could be to purchase jewelry or other wearables inspired by ancient jewelry. Many retailers offer seriously intricate designs inspired by the treasures of cultures such as the Egyptians or Greeks. This could be an elegant means for your granddaughter to celebrate her passion for ancient history by wearing intricate pieces that bring history to life.

Whatever you choose, the key is to tap into what she enjoys and create a gift that is meaningful, personal and passion-inspiring.

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