Five Star Gift Ideas

If your grandma likes history documentaries, there are a few gift ideas that could make her Mother’s Day extra special!

1. History Documentaries: One surefire gift idea is to gift your grandma some of her favorite history documentaries on DVDs. Consider focusing on documentaries that showcase her favorite time period, historical figure, or location. If you are not sure, you could always ask her to create a list of her favorite topics, and use this list to look for documentary recommendations.

2. Private Tour: If your grandma is interested in exploring history in person, you could take her on a private tour of a historical site she’s always wanted to visit or is near to your location. Consider any places in your area with a strong historical connection, such as a historic mansion, museum or a guided walking tour through important neighborhoods.

3. Vintage Jewelry or Keepsakes: Vintage jewelry or keepsakes can be special gifts that honor her love of history. You could search for a special piece of jewelry from a particular decade or time in history, for example, an Art Deco brooch, a cameo pendant or a pair of retro earrings. Shop for it at vintage stores or online to find a unique item that she will value.

4. History Books: If your grandma likes reading, she might enjoy a good history book. If you know the era, country or historical figure that she is particularly interested in, look for books that focus specifically on that history. If you are unsure, go for some classic or contemporary works of non-fiction bestsellers, which explore different topics in the history genre.

5. Customized History Scrapbook: Lastly, a thoughtful and personalized gift would be to create a history scrapbook. You could compile family tree information, photos of past generations, clippings from newspapers and magazines, and ticket stubs and programs from significant events she attended. It could be a great way to help her memories and keep her storytelling alive for future generations.

Remember to make your gift about your grandma, using the knowledge you have about what she likes and focusing your gift accordingly to make her feel special and loved on mother's day, and every day.

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