Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who loves hiking, I have some gift ideas that will not only make her birthday special but also enhance her hiking experiences.

1. Hiking Gear: Consider upgrading her hiking gear with essentials such as a good quality backpack, a hydration pack, trekking poles, or a compact and lightweight sleeping bag. These items will make her hiking trips more comfortable and enjoyable.

2. Hiking Boots: Invest in a reliable pair of hiking boots that provide proper ankle support and are designed for different terrains. Good quality boots not only protect her feet but also enhance her hiking performance.

3. Outdoor Navigation Tools: Help her navigate through various hiking trails with a GPS device or a compact compass. These tools are handy for keeping track of her position and ensuring she stays on the right path.

4. Portable Water Filtration System: To ensure she stays hydrated during her hikes, get her a portable water filtration system. This will allow her to drink safely from natural water sources and eliminate the need to carry heavy loads of water.

5. Hiking Guidebooks: Inspire her with interesting hiking destinations by gifting her some informative guidebooks. Look for books that focus on local trails or popular national parks, providing detailed information on difficulty levels, scenic spots, and natural wonders.

6. Outdoor Cooking Set: Encourage her to enjoy the full experience of camping and hiking by gifting her a compact and lightweight outdoor cooking set. This will enable her to prepare delicious meals in the wilderness and add to the adventure of her hiking trips.

7. Personalized Hiking Journal: Help her cherish her hiking memories by giving her a personalized hiking journal. This will allow her to document her hikes, record her thoughts, and make notes about the trails she's explored. You could even include printed pictures of her favorite hiking spots.

8. Hiking Clothes: Purchase high-quality hiking clothes that are breathable, durable, and suitable for different weather conditions. Look for moisture-wicking base layers, quick-drying pants or shorts, and protective outer layers like rain jackets or windbreakers.

9. Hiking Accessories: Consider gifting her small hiking accessories that can be useful on the trail. These could include a lightweight headlamp, a portable camping hammock, a multifunctional hiking knife, or a durable water bottle.

10. Hiking Experiences: Finally, consider arranging a hiking expedition or adventure getaway for your granddaughter. Perhaps a weekend trip to a nearby national park or signing her up for a guided hiking tour to a new and exciting destination. These experiences will create lasting memories and allow her to further explore her passion for hiking.

Remember, the best gift is something that aligns with her interests and shows that you support and appreciate her love for hiking. Your thoughtful gesture will undoubtedly make her birthday memorable and strengthen the bond between you.

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

Bridget Shields says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I wanted a keepsake to give to my father for his birthday as he has terminal cancer. He was delighted by his gift. The process of ordering was easy and delivery was prompt. A great gift idea.”
