Five Star Gift Ideas

If your daughter enjoys fairy tale retellings, there are plenty of thoughtful and engaging gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas that might bring a smile to her face this holiday season:

1. Fairy Tale Retelling Books: This is an obvious choice for someone who loves fairy tales. Look for popular retellings by well-known authors such as Marissa Meyer's "Cinder" series, Christina Henry's dark takes on classic stories like "Alice" or "Red Queen," or Sarah J. Maas' "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series. If she already has these, there are always new and lesser-known authors to discover.

2. Illustrated Fairy Tale Collection: Consider giving her a beautifully illustrated collection of fairy tales. There are several editions available with stunning artwork, such as "The Illustrated Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm" or "The Little Mermaid and Other Fairy Tales" by Hans Christian Andersen, which includes captivating illustrations by renowned artist MinaLima.

3. Fairy Tale-inspired Jewelry: Surprise your daughter with a piece of jewelry inspired by her favorite fairy tale. You could choose a necklace featuring a glass slipper charm from Cinderella or a bracelet adorned with a small dragon for fans of "Sleeping Beauty." Many jewelry designers and online stores offer unique fairy tale-themed jewelry options that she will cherish.

4. Fairy Tale Puzzle or Board Game: Engage her love for fairy tales with a puzzle or board game inspired by her favorite stories. There are numerous options available, such as "Once Upon a Time: The Storytelling Card Game," where players create their unique fairy tale, or a jigsaw puzzle featuring the artwork from a beloved fairy tale.

5. Fairy Tale-themed Home Decor: Help create a fairy tale atmosphere in her room with fairy tale-inspired home decor. Look for decorative items like enchanted mirror accents, fairy lights, or throw pillows featuring quotes from her favorite fairy tales. These small touches can transform her space into a magical escape.

6. Fairy Tale-inspired Art Print: Find a beautiful art print that captures the spirit of her preferred fairy tale retelling. Look for illustrations from talented artists on platforms like Etsy or consider commissioning a custom art piece based on her favorite fairy tale character or scene.

7. Fairy Tale Cookbook: If your daughter enjoys cooking or baking, she might appreciate a fairy tale-themed cookbook. There are various options available, such as "Fairy Tale Baking" by Ramona Puls or "Grimm's Fairy Tales Cookbook" by Monica Kulling, which combines recipes with enchanting illustrations.

Remember, when selecting a gift for your daughter, think about her specific interests within the fairy tale genre and choose something that aligns with her preferences. With a little thought and attention to detail, you can find a gift that truly reflects her love for fairy tale retellings and brings her joy during the holiday season.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
