Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who loves supporting local businesses, there are several meaningful and personal gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas that she is sure to appreciate:

1. Custom-made Local Artwork: Seek out local artists in your area who create unique and beautiful pieces of art. Commission a custom artwork that reflects your daughter's interests or something specific to your local community. It could be a painting, sculpture, or even a framed photograph capturing a significant local landmark or scenery.

2. Subscription to a Local CSA: If your daughter is conscious of supporting local food systems and enjoys the culinary world, consider gifting her a subscription to a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. CSA boxes provide a selection of fresh, locally grown produce from nearby farms. It's a delightful way to connect with local farmers, enjoy seasonal produce, and support sustainable agriculture.

3. Gift Cards to Independent Local Businesses: Find out her favorite local shops, cafes, or restaurants and purchase gift cards from those establishments. This allows her to enjoy her preferred products while actively supporting the local economy and contributing to the success of these small businesses.

4. Local Experiences: Look for unique local experiences or workshops that she might enjoy. Whether it's a cooking class with a renowned local chef, a pottery workshop at a nearby studio, or a guided tour of the city with a passionate local guide, there are plenty of opportunities to explore and discover the hidden gems of your area while supporting local talent.

5. Handcrafted Jewelry or Accessories: Seek out local artisans who specialize in creating handcrafted jewelry or accessories. These unique and one-of-a-kind items often reflect the style and spirit of the local community. Whether it's a hand-stamped necklace featuring coordinates of her favorite local spot or a pair of earrings made from recycled materials, there are countless options to choose from.

6. Locally Produced Books: If your daughter is an avid reader, consider gifting her books written by local authors or about the history and culture of your area. Supporting local authors not only encourages their talent but also helps preserve and celebrate the local literary scene.

Remember, the beauty of supporting local businesses is that your gift not only brings joy to your daughter but also helps sustain the local community. Adding a heartfelt note to explain how much you value her commitment to supporting small businesses will make the gift even more special and personal.

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.”
