Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who loves poetry slam performances and spoken word events, I have a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that she will surely appreciate.

1. Spoken Word Poetry Books: Help her explore various spoken word artists and styles by gifting her some renowned spoken word poetry books. You can consider "The Rose That Grew from Concrete" by Tupac Shakur, "Milk and Honey" by Rupi Kaur, or "The Poet X" by Elizabeth Acevedo. These books will not only satisfy her artistic cravings but also inspire her to engage further in the world of spoken word poetry.

2. Tickets to Poetry Slams or Open Mic Nights: Find local poetry slams or open mic nights and surprise your granddaughter with tickets to one of these events. It will provide her with an opportunity to witness live performances and connect with other poetry enthusiasts. Experiencing the passion and energy of spoken word poetry firsthand can be a truly memorable and inspiring experience.

3. Writing Journal: Encourage your granddaughter to express her creativity and emotions by gifting her a beautiful writing journal. Choose a journal that reflects her personality or includes motivational quotes related to poetry. This journal will serve as a safe space for her to jot down her thoughts, ideas, and poetry, allowing her to dive deeper into her artistic journey.

4. Poetry Workshop or Class: Help nurture her talent and passion by enrolling her in a spoken word poetry workshop or class. These workshops often focus on building skills such as writing techniques, performance techniques, and stage presence. Not only will she learn from experienced poets, but she will also get a chance to interact with like-minded individuals who share her love for spoken word poetry.

5. Customized Spoken Word Art Piece: Commission a local artist to create a customized spoken word art piece for your granddaughter. This could be a visually appealing artwork that incorporates her favorite spoken word poem or a combination of her spoken words creatively illustrated. It will serve as a personal and unique reminder of her love for spoken word poetry, and she can proudly display it in her room.

6. Poetry-Slam Merchandise: Check online stores or local retailers for merchandise related to poetry slams or spoken word events. Look for items like t-shirts, hoodies, or accessories that feature empowering poetry phrases or the logos of well-known poetry events. Such merchandise can be both stylish and symbolic, allowing her to showcase her love for spoken word poetry in a fashionable way.

Remember, the most thoughtful gifts come from understanding and valuing the recipient's interests. By choosing gifts that align with your granddaughter's passion for spoken word poetry, you are not only supporting her artistic journey but also showing her that you acknowledge and support her unique interests and aspirations.

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