Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who enjoys attending TED Talks, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you could consider:

1. TEDx Tickets: Look for upcoming TEDx conferences in your area or nearby cities and surprise her with tickets. This will give her the opportunity to not only attend but also engage with other like-minded individuals and gain new perspectives.

2. Membership to TED.com: Consider getting her a subscription to TED.com. This will provide her with unlimited access to a vast range of TED Talks, allowing her to explore and discover talks on various topics of interest at her own pace.

3. Books by TED Speakers: Many TED speakers have also written books exploring their ideas in greater depth. You could gift her books by her favorite speakers, allowing her to delve deeper into the topics that captivate her. Popular choices include "The Power of Vulnerability" by Brené Brown, "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari, and "Educated" by Tara Westover.

4. Inspirational Journals: Encourage her to reflect on her own thoughts and ideas by gifting her an inspirational journal. There are specialized TED-themed journals available, featuring prompts and quotes from popular TED Talks, which can inspire her to think critically and creatively.

5. Subscription to a Podcast App: TED Talks are also available in podcast format. By gifting her a subscription to a podcast app such as Spotify or Apple Podcasts, she can easily access and download TED Talks to listen to on the go.

6. Personalized Artwork or Poster: Consider creating a personalized piece of artwork or a poster featuring a favorite quote or message from a TED Talk she particularly enjoyed. This thoughtful and customized gift will serve as a constant reminder of the inspiration and motivation she finds in attending TED Talks.

7. Future Conference or Workshop Registration: Keep an eye out for future TED conferences or workshops that align with her interests. Register her in advance and surprise her with the opportunity to meet and engage with speakers and attendees who are passionate about similar topics.

Remember, the most important aspect of gifting is thoughtfulness and personalization. Take into account her specific interests, favorite speakers, and the ways in which attending TED Talks has impacted her life. By choosing a gift that reflects her passions and provides her with continued inspiration, you can ensure a meaningful and personal Christmas gift for your granddaughter.

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