Five Star Gift Ideas

For a friend who is passionate about student activism, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that can celebrate and support their interests. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Books on Social Justice and Activism: A powerful gift for someone interested in student activism is a collection of books that delve into social justice issues, activism strategies, and historical movements. Some popular titles to consider are "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander, "The Student Activist's Handbook" by Aidan Delgado, and "When They Call You a Terrorist" by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele.

2. Donation in their name: Show your friend that you support their passion for student activism by making a donation to a cause or organization they believe in. Research student-led organizations, such as the Sunrise Movement, March for Our Lives, or the Student Activism Network, and make a contribution in their name. This not only supports their activism but also helps create an impact in the causes they care about.

3. Custom-made apparel or accessories: Consider getting a custom-made t-shirt or accessory that reflects their passion for student activism. You can design a t-shirt with a powerful slogan or a symbol representing a cause they are particularly passionate about. Custom pins, bracelets, or even a phone case with a social justice message can also be great options.

4. Documentary or film screenings: Another idea is to organize a documentary or film screening event for your friend and a small group of people who share their interests. Choose thought-provoking documentaries like "13th," "RBG," or "The DREAM Is Now" that provide educational insights and fuel meaningful discussions about social justice issues.

5. Skill-building workshops or conference passes: Empower your friend to enhance their skills and broaden their knowledge of student activism by gifting them passes to relevant workshops or conferences. Look for events that focus on leadership development, community organizing, or campaign strategizing. This gift not only supports their learning but also provides an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals.

6. Subscription to activist magazines or newsletters: Keep your friend up-to-date with the latest news and stories from the student activism world by gifting them a subscription to an activist magazine or newsletter. Some popular options include "Yes! Magazine," "Teen Vogue," and "The Nation." These publications often feature articles on current events, social justice issues, and inspiring stories of student activism.

Remember, the most important aspect of choosing a gift is to show your friend that you understand and support their passion for student activism. By selecting a meaningful and personal gift that aligns with their interests, you can demonstrate your admiration and encouragement for their commitment to making a positive difference in the world.
