Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who enjoys orienteering and navigation, there are several meaningful and thoughtful gift ideas that could enhance her passion for this activity. Consider the following options:

1. Compass: A high-quality compass is an essential tool for navigation. Look for a durable, accurate, and easy-to-use compass that she can use during her orienteering adventures. Consider getting a compass that also has additional features like a magnifying glass or a built-in thermometer.

2. Map set: A collection of detailed topographic maps of the areas she frequents or plans to explore can be a great gift. These maps will not only support her navigation skills but also provide an opportunity to discover new paths and plan exciting routes.

3. Orienteering gears: Consider getting her some essential orienteering gear like a handheld GPS device or a sport watch with navigational features. These gadgets can help her track her progress, measure distances, and record her routes. Look for models that are rugged, waterproof, and have long battery life.

4. Book on orienteering: There are numerous books available that delve into the art and science of orienteering. Some titles specifically cater to beginners, offering guidance on map reading, compass use, and route planning. Others provide more advanced techniques for experienced orienteers. Choose a book that aligns with her skill level and interest.

5. Orienteering course: Check if there are any local orienteering clubs or community centers that offer orienteering courses or workshops for beginners. Enroll her in one of these courses to enhance her skills, challenge her abilities, and provide a unique learning experience.

6. Hiking gear: Since orienteering often involves hiking through trails and wooded areas, consider gifting her some hiking gear. This could include hiking boots, a sturdy backpack, a hydration pack, or a multi-tool. These items will not only support her navigation pursuits but also ensure she remains comfortable and safe during her outdoor adventures.

7. Adventure trip: Consider organizing an adventure trip where she can put her orienteering skills to the test. This could involve a weekend camping excursion at a national park with orienteering activities or signing her up for an orienteering competition or event. This gift would provide her with an opportunity to showcase her skills, meet like-minded individuals, and create lasting memories.

Remember to wrap the gift with a personalized note, expressing how proud you are of her passion for orienteering and how much you support her interests. This will add an extra touch of thoughtfulness to the present and make it even more meaningful.

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