Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who loves watching documentaries, I have a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that will surely bring her joy this Christmas.

1. Documentary DVD Collection: Consider gifting her a collection of her favorite documentary series or movies on DVDs. Choose titles from various genres such as history, science, or nature to cater to her interests. This way, she can enjoy her favorite documentaries anytime, even without an internet connection.

2. Subscription to a Documentary Streaming Service: If your granddaughter enjoys watching documentaries online, a subscription to a documentary streaming service like CuriosityStream or Netflix can be an excellent gift. These platforms offer an extensive range of documentary films and series, allowing her to explore various subjects and topics of interest conveniently.

3. Documentary-themed Merchandise: Show your support for her love of documentaries with some documentary-themed merchandise. You could get her a t-shirt or hoodie featuring her favorite documentary quote, or even a poster of a film or series she enjoys. Such gifts are not only personal but can also be conversation starters and a way for her to express her passion and interests.

4. Documentary Filmmaking Workshop: If your granddaughter is interested in delving deeper into the world of documentaries, consider gifting her a documentary filmmaking workshop or course. These workshops provide hands-on experience and knowledge about the art of storytelling through documentaries. It will allow her to learn from experts in the field and refine her skills further.

5. Biography of Documentary Filmmakers: Inspire your granddaughter by giving her biographies or memoirs of renowned documentary filmmakers. Books like "Directors Tell the Story" by Bethany Rooney and Mary Lou Belli or "The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film" by Michael Ondaatje can provide valuable insights into the craft and inspire her to pursue her passion further.

6. Visit to a Documentary Film Festival: If there is a documentary film festival happening in your area, surprise your granddaughter with tickets to attend. This experience will not only expose her to a wide range of thought-provoking documentaries but also provide an opportunity to meet and interact with filmmakers and fellow enthusiasts.

7. Personalized Documentary Recommendations: Take the time to curate a list of must-watch documentaries based on her specific interests. Include a handwritten note explaining why each documentary might resonate with her. This gesture shows that you pay attention to her passion and put thought into providing her with personalized recommendations.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your support and encouragement for her love of documentaries. By selecting a gift that aligns with her interests, you are not only acknowledging her passion but also nurturing her curiosity and inspiring her to explore the world through the lens of documentaries.

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