Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who enjoys urban exploring and abandoned place discovery, I have a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that she will surely appreciate.

1. Photography Workshop: Organize a photography workshop or tour focused on urban exploration or abandoned places. This would allow your mom to further develop her photography skills while exploring new locations. Whether it's a one-on-one session with a professional photographer or joining a group tour, this experience will provide her with fantastic opportunities to capture unique images and learn techniques to enhance her photography skills.

2. Historical Book or Documentary: Since your mom has an interest in urban exploring, she would likely appreciate a book or documentary that delves into the history and stories behind abandoned places. Look for well-researched books or documentaries that provide a comprehensive insight into abandoned locations and their significance. This would allow her to learn more about the places she explores and deepen her understanding of their historical and cultural context.

3. Customized Map of Abandoned Places: Create a customized map highlighting various urban exploration sites or abandoned places that your mom can visit. You can mark each location with a brief description or include photos of the places she has visited or plans to explore. This personalized and thoughtful gift will serve as a keepsake that guides her on her future urban exploration adventures.

4. Safety Gear and Equipment: Safety should be a top priority when engaging in urban exploration. Consider gifting your mom a set of high-quality safety gear and equipment specifically designed for urban exploration. This may include sturdy hiking boots, a headlamp, a backpack with compartments for different equipment, and a portable first aid kit. This gift shows that you care about her safety and well-being during her explorations.

5. Unique Artwork or Prints: Look for artwork or prints depicting abandoned places or urban exploration scenes. This could be a painting, a photograph, or an illustration. Find a piece that resonates with your mom's aesthetic sensibilities and love for abandoned places. It could become an interesting addition to her home decor, serving as a constant reminder of her passion for urban exploration.

6. Gift Card for Photography Prints: Your mom may have taken many stunning photographs during her urban exploration adventures. Encourage her to showcase her talent by gifting her a gift card to a printing service specializing in photography prints. This would allow her to select her favorite images and have them professionally printed and framed, turning her photographs into beautiful pieces of art that she can display or even gift to others.

Remember, the most meaningful gifts are those that align with your mom's interests and passions. By choosing one of these gift ideas, you will show your thoughtfulness and support for her urban exploring hobby, making her birthday extra special.

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

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
