Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who loves poetry writing and spoken word performance, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that can nurture and enhance her passions. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Poetry Books: Gift her a collection of renowned poetry books that will not only inspire her writing but also expose her to different writing styles and techniques. Some popular options include "Milk and Honey" by Rupi Kaur, "The Sun and Her Flowers" by Rupi Kaur, and "Citizen: An American Lyric" by Claudia Rankine.

2. Writing Journal: Encourage her to express her creativity and emotions by gifting her a beautiful, high-quality writing journal. Opt for one with a leather cover, personalized engraving, or an artistic design that suits her taste. This will provide her with a dedicated space to capture her thoughts, ideas, and poetic musings.

3. Spoken Word Workshop or Class: Consider enrolling her in a spoken word workshop or class that can help her further develop her performance skills and confidence. Look for local community centers, art schools, or online platforms that offer spoken word workshops specifically tailored for young aspiring poets.

4. Open Mic Night Passes: Seek out local venues or cafes that host open mic nights and purchase passes for her to participate in these events. Open mic nights provide a platform for artists, including poets and spoken word performers, to share their work and gain valuable performance experience.

5. Poetry Slam Tickets: Poetry slams are exciting competitive events where poets perform their work in front of an audience. Look for upcoming poetry slam events in your area and surprise her with tickets. Not only will she get a chance to witness passionate performances, but it may also ignite her competitive spirit and encourage her to participate in future slams.

6. Personalized Poetry Workshop: Arrange a personalized poetry workshop with a local poet or writer who specializes in spoken word and poetry. This one-on-one session will allow her to receive personalized feedback, guidance, and mentorship, helping her further hone her skills.

7. Video Recording Equipment: Help her create and share her poetry performances by gifting her a high-quality video recording device or a smartphone tripod with good stability. This will enable her to record her performances comfortably, allowing her to showcase her talent on social media platforms or create a personal portfolio.

8. Poetry Appreciation Subscription: Sign her up for a poetry appreciation subscription service that sends her a new poem or collection of poems regularly. This will deepen her understanding and appreciation for poetry while introducing her to new poets and styles.

Remember, the most important aspect of choosing a gift for your daughter is to show your support and enthusiasm for her passions. These gift ideas are intended to nurture her love for poetry and spoken word while allowing her to grow and explore her talent further.

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