Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who enjoys poetry writing and spoken word, there are several thoughtful and personalized gift options that cater to her passion. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Poetry Books: Look for collections of work from renowned poets or anthologies that cover various themes and styles. You can choose classic poets like Emily Dickinson or Robert Frost, or even explore contemporary writers who specialize in spoken word poetry.

2. Writing Workshops or Classes: Encourage your daughter's writing journey by enrolling her in a poetry writing workshop or an online course. These classes can provide guidance, inspiration, and valuable feedback to help her refine her skills and expand her poetic voice.

3. Personalized Poetry Journal: Gift her a beautifully designed poetry journal, preferably with a personalized touch. You can have her name or a motivational quote inscribed on the cover, making it a cherished keepsake she can use to pen down her thoughts and creations.

4. Spoken Word Event Tickets: Keep an eye out for local spoken word events or poetry slams happening in your area. Purchase tickets for her to attend, allowing her to experience the vibrant energy and creativity of live performances, which might inspire her own writing.

5. Poetry Writing Prompts: Help spark her creativity by providing a set of poetry writing prompts. These prompts can encourage her to explore new themes, experiment with different styles, and overcome any writer's block. You can find premade poetry prompt sets or create your own by compiling a list of open-ended questions or evocative words.

6. Customized Poetry Artwork: Commission or create a piece of artwork featuring one of her favorite poems or a line from her own work. It could be a framed calligraphy print, a canvas painting, or even a piece of jewelry that incorporates a meaningful poetic phrase.

7. Audio Recording Equipment: If she enjoys creating spoken word poetry, consider gifting her quality audio recording equipment. A good microphone and headphones will allow her to record and edit her performances, helping her share her work with a wider audience and explore different platforms.

8. Inspirational Poetry Documentary or Film: Look for documentaries, films, or even biopics featuring influential poets or exploring the world of spoken word poetry. These can provide a source of motivation and inspiration for her own creative journey.

Remember, beyond the material gift itself, you can also show your support by attending poetry events with her, discussing her work, and being genuinely interested in her passion. The most meaningful gift you can give her is your encouragement and belief in her talent.

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

Luann Skinner says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I ordered the star map 8 days before my daughter's birthday. It arrived in 7 days just in time for her birthday. Thank you! She loved the star map.”
