Five Star Gift Ideas

How about a new piece of gear for her next backpacking trip? Here are a few options:

1. A high-quality backpack: A backpack is an essential item for any backpacking trip. A new, high-quality backpack that is specifically designed for backpacking can be a great gift for your granddaughter. Consider brands like Osprey, Deuter, or Gregory.

2. A lightweight sleeping bag: Depending on where your granddaughter backpacks, the temperature can drop quickly at night. A sleeping bag that is lightweight and compact, yet still warm enough for colder temperatures can be a great gift. Look into brands like The North Face, Marmot, or REI.

3. A portable solar charger: When backpacking, it's important to stay connected in case of emergencies. A portable solar charger that can charge her phone, GPS device or camera on the go can be a great gift. Look into brands like Anker, Nekteck, and RAVPower.

4. A headlamp: A headlamp is another essential item when backpacking, enabling hands-free illumination during any time of the day. Look into lightweight and waterproof models from Black Diamond, Petzl or Princeton Tec.

5. A gift card to a camping or outdoor store: If you're not sure which specific item to get, consider giving your granddaughter a gift card to a popular camping or outdoor store such as REI, Bass Pro Shops, or Cabela's.

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