Five Star Gift Ideas

If your daughter enjoys canning and preserving, there are many wonderful gift ideas that will cater to her hobby and make her feel appreciated on her birthday. Here are some gift ideas that you can consider:

1. Canning and preserving starter kit: This gift will be an ideal choice for someone who is just starting out in canning and preserving. The kit will include everything she needs to begin the hobby, such as canning jars, a water bath canner, a jar lifter, a funnel, labels, and a recipe book.

2. Personalized canning labels: You can never have too many labels when canning, and personalized labels will make her feel even more special. You can design labels with her name, initials, or a special message. Etsy is a great source for finding vendors who make personalized labels.

3. Canning and preserving recipe book: Your daughter may already have a collection of recipes, but adding to it never hurts. Look for a recipe book that is focused on preserving and canning, with unique and interesting recipes that she may not have tried before.

4. A pressure canner: If your daughter is a seasoned canner, she may appreciate a pressure canner for more variety in her canning options. This equipment is great for preserving low-acid foods that cannot be preserved using a boiling water canner.

5. Canning jars with reusable lids: Canning jars are always needed when you are canning and preserving, and reusable lids are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional metal lids. Look for jars in unique shapes, colors, and sizes to add variety to her collection.

6. A dehydrator: Dehydrating is another way of preserving fruits and vegetables. A dehydrator allows for fruit or vegetable-based snacks that are perfect for on-the-go or as a healthy alternative to processed snacks.

7. Classes or courses: Consider gifting your daughter the opportunity to attend a canning or preserving class. These classes, often held at community centers or farmer's markets, can teach new techniques or help her become more confident in her current ones.

Remember, the key to a great gift is thoughtfulness. With her love of canning and preserving in mind, you’re sure to select a thoughtful, meaningful gift that will show her how much you care for her interests.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

Luann Skinner says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I ordered the star map 8 days before my daughter's birthday. It arrived in 7 days just in time for her birthday. Thank you! She loved the star map.”
