Five Star Gift Ideas

One thoughtful and personal gift idea for your documentary-loving granddaughter could be a collection of books about historical events or people that she is interested in. By doing some research and finding out what specific subjects she enjoys learning about, you could create a curated list of book titles that you think she would enjoy. Once you have the list, consider purchasing or finding these books at your local library, and putting them together in a special and personalized way. You could create a custom book box or basket, or simply wrap them together in festive paper, and include a note explaining how much you value her interest in history, and how excited you are to help her continue learning about it.

Another idea could be to give her access to a premium streaming service that has a wide selection of historical documentaries available. You could purchase a subscription to a service like CuriosityStream, which offers a vast collection of documentaries, shows and short films that cover topics ranging from ancient history to modern times. Not only would your granddaughter be able to indulge in her interests with ease, but she could also discover new historical figures or events she may not have otherwise known about.

If your granddaughter is interested in more immersive experiences, consider purchasing tickets to a historical site or museum that you think she would enjoy. This would not only give her an opportunity to learn more about historical events or people in person, but also provide a unique and memorable experience she could share with friends or family. You could even plan a trip together, where the two of you could visit a collection of historical sites or museums, and share in the experience together.

Lastly, consider creating a personalized piece of artwork or craft that speaks to your granddaughter's love of history. This could be something as simple as a painting or drawing of a historical figure, or as complex as a reconstructed model of a historical building or structure. Whatever you create, be sure to include a thoughtful note or story about why this particular piece of history means something to you or your granddaughter. Not only will this be a thoughtful and personal gift, but it will also create a special bond between the two of you, based on your shared interest in history.

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