Five Star Gift Ideas

For a daughter who enjoys coding, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that would cater to her interest. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. Coding courses or online subscriptions: Consider gifting her a subscription to an online coding platform like Codecademy or Udacity. These platforms offer a wide range of courses and interactive projects that allow her to further develop her coding skills and explore different programming languages.

2. Coding books: A collection of coding books can be a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys delving deeper into the subject. Look for books that cater to her specific interest, whether it's web development, game design, or app development. Some popular options include "Python Crash Course" by Eric Matthes, "JavaScript and JQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development" by Jon Duckett, or "Eloquent JavaScript" by Marijn Haverbeke.

3. Coding toys and kits: There are numerous coding toys and kits available in the market that can make learning programming fun and interactive. Consider gifts like the Sphero Mini robotic ball, which can be programmed using block-based coding or even JavaScript. Alternatively, you could look into the Arduino starter kits, which come with various components and sensors to help her build and code her own electronics projects.

4. Raspberry Pi: If your daughter is interested in both hardware and software, a Raspberry Pi could be an excellent gift. This small, affordable computer can be used for a variety of projects, ranging from building a home media center to creating a retro gaming console. It offers endless coding opportunities and learning experiences.

5. Personalized coding accessories: Consider getting your daughter personalized coding accessories, such as a laptop decal or a custom-made phone case with coding-inspired designs. You could also purchase items like a coding-themed t-shirt or a mug that displays her favorite programming language or a coding pun.

6. Coding workshops or conferences: Look for coding workshops or conferences in your area that align with her interests. These events often provide hands-on learning, networking opportunities, and the chance to connect with professionals in the industry.

7. Subscription to a coding magazine or podcast: Gift her a subscription to a coding magazine or a podcast that offers valuable insights, expert interviews, and the latest industry trends. Some popular options include "Wired" magazine or podcasts like "CodeNewbie" or "Developer Tea."

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is to show your daughter that you support and encourage her passion for coding. By selecting a gift that aligns with her interests, you are not only acknowledging her dedication and enthusiasm but also providing her with tools and resources to further develop her skills and pursue her passion.

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.”
