Five Star Gift Ideas

It sounds like your daughter has a passion for genealogy and creating family trees. Here are a few meaningful and personalized gift ideas that can help nurture her interest:

1. Ancestry DNA Kit: Ancestry DNA kits provide information about a person's ethnic origins and can connect them with potential relatives. This gift will not only help your daughter discover more about her family heritage but also provide opportunities for further genealogical research.

2. Genealogy Software: Invest in a genealogy software program that can assist your daughter in organizing and creating family trees. There are numerous options available, such as Legacy Family Tree, Family Tree Maker, or Gramps, each with its own unique features and tools.

3. A Membership to a Genealogical Society: Look for local or national genealogical societies that offer memberships. This will grant your daughter access to valuable resources, workshops, conferences, and a community of researchers who share her passion. Plus, it will give her an opportunity to network and collaborate with experts in the field.

4. Books on Genealogy: Consider gifting your daughter books on genealogy that can provide her with additional knowledge and guidance. Some popular titles include "The Family Tree Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy" by Blaine T. Bettinger or "Genealogy Standards: Fiftieth Anniversary Edition" by Board for Certification of Genealogists.

5. Family History Scrapbook or Journal: Encourage your daughter to document her genealogical discoveries and add a personal touch by gifting her a beautiful family history scrapbook or journal. She can fill it with photos, stories, and details about her ancestors, creating a unique keepsake for future generations.

6. Customized Family Tree Art: Consider commissioning a custom family tree artwork for your daughter. You can have a professional artist create a beautiful and personalized family tree illustration that incorporates names, dates, and photos of her ancestors. It will serve as a decorative piece for her room and a visual representation of her love for genealogy.

7. Research Trip or Workshop: Surprise your daughter with a genealogy research trip or workshop. Plan a visit to her ancestral homeland or a location relevant to her family history. Alternatively, look for genealogy workshops or conferences that she can attend to gain valuable insights and techniques from experts in the field.

Remember, the most meaningful gift will be one that supports and encourages your daughter's passion for genealogy. By choosing something that aligns with her interests, you'll not only show your support but also help her further explore her roots and create a connection to her family's history.

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.”
