Five Star Gift Ideas

For your girlfriend who enjoys urbex (urban exploring), there are a variety of meaningful and personal gift ideas that can enhance her passion for exploration and adventure. Check out these unique suggestions that are sure to make her feel special on Valentine's Day:

1. Personalized Exploration Kit: Compile a personalized exploration kit that includes essential items for urbex adventures. Consider including a high-quality camera, a sturdy backpack, a compass, a pocket-sized notebook, a headlamp, and a multitool. Customize the kit by engraving her initials or a special message to show your thoughtfulness.

2. Urban Exploration Guidebooks: Help your girlfriend discover new urbex locations by gifting her books that provide insights into hidden gems and abandoned places. Some popular urbex guidebooks include "Abandoned Places: A Photographic Exploration of More Than 100 Worlds We Have Left Behind" by Henk van Rensbergen and "Urban Exploration Photography: A Guide to Creating and Editing Images of Abandoned Places" by Todd Sipes.

3. Customized Urbex Map: Create a custom map highlighting both popular and lesser-known urbex locations in your area or places you want to explore together. You can make a digital version and have it printed on high-quality paper or go a step further and have it framed. This gift serves as a reminder of the adventures to come.

4. Photography Class or Workshop: Enhance your girlfriend's photography skills by enrolling her in a photography class or workshop focused on urbex photography. This gift not only helps her capture beautiful moments but also allows her to learn from professionals and connect with like-minded individuals.

5. Urbex Artwork: Support her love for urbex by gifting her art pieces that depict abandoned places or urban landscapes. Look for local artists or online platforms that offer urbex-inspired artwork, such as prints, paintings, or illustrations. Choose a piece that resonates with her personal style and tastes.

6. Urbex-inspired Jewelry: Surprise your girlfriend with unique jewelry inspired by urbex. Consider a necklace or bracelet featuring charms like vintage keys, cameras, or compasses. Alternatively, you can find jewelry made from repurposed materials, such as reclaimed metals or recycled glass, to reflect the spirit of exploring forgotten places.

7. Adventure Getaway: Plan a romantic getaway to a city known for its urbex opportunities. Research destinations that offer a mix of urban exploration, historical sites, and local culture. Book a hotel or Airbnb with a unique atmosphere, such as converted lofts, industrial-style accommodations, or historic buildings-turned-lodging.

Remember, the key to selecting a meaningful gift is to demonstrate your understanding and support of her interests. Whether it's providing tools for her explorations, encouraging her artistic expression, or planning adventures together, these gift ideas are sure to make your girlfriend feel cherished on Valentine's Day.

Or you can get her a star map with the date of your first kiss.
