Five Star Gift Ideas

For your wife who is passionate about creating and editing videos, I have a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that may inspire her this Valentine's Day.

1. Professional Editing Software: Consider gifting her a top-notch video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro. These software programs are widely used by professionals in the industry and will provide her with powerful tools to enhance her video editing skills.

2. Online Courses or Workshops: Help her expand her knowledge and master her video editing skills by enrolling her in an online course or workshop. There are numerous platforms like Lynda.com, Skillshare, or Udemy that offer comprehensive video editing courses taught by industry experts. This gift will not only inspire her but also empower her to explore new techniques and styles.

3. External Hard Drive: As a video editor, storage is a crucial factor. Consider gifting her a high-capacity external hard drive to help her organize and back up her video files. This practical gift will show that you understand her needs as a creator and is a thoughtful way to support her passion.

4. Inspiring Books and Magazines: Find books or magazines focused on video editing and storytelling that can provide her with fresh perspectives and ideas. Some popular titles include "In the Blink of an Eye" by Walter Murch and "The Filmmaker's Handbook" by Steven Ascher and Edward Pincus. These resources can inspire and challenge her creativity, making them a perfect gift for a video enthusiast.

5. Personalized Video Gadget or Accessories: Look for personalized video gadgets or accessories to add a touch of uniqueness to her editing setup. For example, custom-designed keyboard stickers with video editing shortcuts, a personalized mousepad with her favorite quote or logo, or even a customized tablet stand. These small but thoughtful gifts will make her workspace feel special and tailored to her needs.

6. Collaboration Opportunities: Help her connect and collaborate with other creators by gifting her a membership to a video editing community or platform. Websites like Behance or Vimeo offer a platform for artists to showcase their work, collaborate with others, and gain recognition. This gift can open up new opportunities for her to grow her skills and network within the creative community.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought behind it. Show her that you support her passion for creating and editing videos by choosing a gift that aligns with her interests and reflects how much you value her talent.

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

David Dickason says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“Ordered a map of the stars above us when my wife and I realized that we wanted a friendship to turn into something more - gave it to her yesterday (Valentine's Day) and got a most enthusiastic response. We are best pleased!”
