Five Star Gift Ideas

For a daughter who has a passion for writing poetry and spoken word, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that will nurture her creativity and support her interests. Here are a few ideas:

1. Writing Journal: A beautiful journal specifically designed for writing poetry will be a treasured gift. Look for one with inspiring quotes, prompts, or even a blank page for doodling. This way, she can jot down her thoughts, ideas, and drafts in a dedicated space.

2. Poetry Anthologies: A collection of classic poetry or contemporary works can provide inspiration and help her explore different styles and themes. Consider anthologies from renowned poets or ones that focus specifically on spoken word poetry.

3. Writing Workshops or Poetry Classes: Look for local workshops, writing retreats, or online courses that specialize in poetry and spoken word. Gifting her an opportunity to learn from experienced poets or connect with other writers can be both educational and inspiring.

4. Poetry Books by Her Favorite Poets: Find out her favorite poets or spoken word artists and gift her their published works. It's always special to own physical copies of books, and this can help her learn from the masters and understand different styles and techniques.

5. Personalized Poetry Kit: Create a personalized poetry kit with essentials like colorful pens, a notebook, a thesaurus, and even a mini dictionary. Additionally, include unique items that reflect her interests – for example, if she enjoys nature, add a small plant or a dried flower.

6. Poetry Slam Experience: Check if there are any poetry slams or open mic events happening in your area. You can surprise her with tickets to a local venue where she can witness spoken word poetry being performed live. If she feels comfortable, encourage her to sign up to perform her own poetry too!

7. Customized Writing Desk Accessories: Consider getting her personalized desk accessories like a pen holder, mug, or mouse pad with a motivational quote or her name. These items will create a sense of ownership over her writing space and provide daily inspiration.

8. Audio Recording Equipment: If she enjoys performing spoken word poetry, help her improve her skills by gifting her basic audio recording equipment. This can include a microphone and headphones, along with software or a subscription to a platform where she can record her performances or create a podcast.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is to show that you appreciate and support her passions. The gifts mentioned above will not only celebrate her love for poetry and spoken word but will also encourage her to continue expanding her creative journey.

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.”
