Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who enjoys writing and publishing books, I have a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that will not only support her passion but also encourage her creativity.

1. Writing and Publishing Tools: Consider gifting her a high-quality notebook or journal where she can jot down her ideas, draft stories, and plan her books. You can also include a set of vibrant and colorful pens to make her writing process more enjoyable. To help her organize her thoughts and develop plots, a writer's prompt journal or a book of writing exercises can be an excellent addition.

2. Inspirational Books: Inspire your granddaughter with books about successful authors or books that offer guidance and motivation for aspiring writers. Biographies or memoirs of renowned writers such as J.K. Rowling, Ernest Hemingway, or Maya Angelou can give her valuable insights into their writing journeys. Additionally, books on writing techniques or publishing tips can help her enhance her skills and understand the publishing industry better.

3. Writing Workshops or Classes: Enroll your granddaughter in a local writing workshop or creative writing class that offers insights into different writing genres, story development, and publishing processes. This practical experience can give her a chance to network with other aspiring writers, receive feedback on her work, and learn from experienced professionals. These classes can be offered in-person or online.

4. Personalized Stationery: Help her showcase her passion for writing with personalized stationery. Consider getting her a set of customized notepads, letterheads, or envelopes with her name or initials printed on them. This will not only make writing more enjoyable but also enhance her confidence in her work.

5. Writing Software or Tools: If your granddaughter enjoys writing on her computer or tablet, consider gifting her a subscription to a popular writing software like Scrivener or a digital writing tool like Evernote. These applications provide organizational features, templates, and other tools that can assist her in planning, drafting, and editing her stories efficiently.

6. Publishing Consultation or Membership: Help her understand the publishing world better by gifting her a consultation or membership with a reputable publishing organization. This can provide her with professional guidance, writing critiques, and assistance in navigating the publishing process. Some memberships also provide access to writing contests, literary agents, and other publishing opportunities.

7. Bookstore Gift Cards: Support her reading habit and encourage her to explore different genres by giving her gift cards to her favorite local bookstore or an online book retailer. This will give her the opportunity to discover new authors, expand her literary knowledge, and find inspiration for her writing.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and love behind it. By choosing a gift that supports her passion for writing and publishing, you are showing your granddaughter that you believe in her talent and are there to support 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.”
