Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who loves poetry readings and spoken word events, I have some meaningful and personal gift ideas that will surely delight her and deepen her love for this art form.

1. Poetry Book Collection: Consider gifting her a collection of poetry books from famous poets or emerging artists. You can curate a selection of works that align with her interests or explore different styles of poetry. This gift will provide her with a diverse range of poems to savour and inspire her own writing.

2. Tickets to Poetry Events: Find out if there are any upcoming spoken word events or poetry readings in your area and surprise her with tickets. Attending live events will allow her to immerse herself in the ambiance and connect with fellow poetry enthusiasts. It will also give her a chance to experience the mesmerizing power of spoken word performances firsthand.

3. Poetry Journal: Encourage her to nurture her own poetic voice by gifting her a high-quality journal specifically designed for writing poetry. Consider a journal with inspiring quotes on each page or one that provides writing prompts to encourage her creativity.

4. Online Poetry Workshop or Course: If your granddaughter is passionate about writing poetry or wants to improve her skills, consider enrolling her in an online poetry workshop or course. There are various platforms that offer interactive classes taught by renowned poets, providing valuable guidance on poetic techniques and the opportunity to receive feedback on her work.

5. Handmade Poetry Gifts: Personalize a gift by creating something unique and special. You could write a heartfelt poem dedicated to your granddaughter and have it beautifully framed or printed on a custom-made poster. Alternatively, consider making a scrapbook filled with her favorite poems, pictures of poetry events she has attended, and memorable quotes.

6. Poetry Open Mic Night: Organize a small gathering or open mic night in your backyard or local community center where she can showcase her own poetic talents. Invite family and friends to attend, creating a supportive and encouraging environment for her to perform her poetry.

7. Membership to a Poetry Society or Literary Magazine Subscription: Purchase a membership to a poetry society or literary organization that offers benefits such as exclusive access to poetry events, networking opportunities with fellow poets, and the chance to submit her work for publication. Alternatively, consider a subscription to a reputable literary magazine that features a diverse range of poetry.

Remember, the key is to celebrate and support your granddaughter's passion for poetry. By choosing a gift that aligns with her interests, you are not only showing your love and appreciation but also providing her with the tools and opportunities to explore and grow in her passion for this art form.

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