Five Star Gift Ideas

That's a great interest to work with! Here are a few ideas for Christmas gifts tailored to your grandma's love for collecting badges or patches:

1. Custom-made shadow box: This gift showcases someone's collection in a beautiful way. Choose a shadow box that's the right size for your grandma's collection and include a few of her favorite patches to get started. The shadow box can then be hung on the wall for display.

2. Badge or patch storage album: Albums made specifically to store and organize badges or patches are a great gift for collectors. They feature clear pockets to easily see and access each piece in the collection.

3. Unique or vintage patches: Get creative and find patches related to her interests or hobbies. A quick online search can reveal badges or patches from specific organizations, sports teams, or even tourist sites that she's visited. Alternatively, look for vintage patches at thrift stores or online marketplaces to add some unique pieces to her collection.

4. Embroidered blanket or pillow: Why not incorporate her badge and patch collection into her home decor? Consider having her patches embroidered onto a blanket or pillow to make a cozy and personalized gift that she can use every day.

5. Framed collage: If your grandma has a large collection of badges or patches, consider creating a framed collage of her favorites. Use a poster board as the base, arrange the patches as desired, and then frame the finished product for a beautiful and personal Christmas gift.

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