Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who enjoys writing fanfiction, I have a few gift suggestions that could enhance her writing experience and show your support for her creative endeavors.

1. Writing Prompts Book: Encourage her imagination and writing skills with a book specifically designed with writing prompts. There are various options available that include prompts for different genres, themes, and characters. This gift will help her explore new ideas and expand her writing style.

2. Journals: A writer can never have too many journals! Consider gifting her a set of beautiful notebooks where she can jot down her ideas, draft her stories, or create character profiles. Opt for ones with unique designs or customizable covers to make it more personal.

3. Writing Tools: Invest in high-quality writing tools that will make her writing experience more enjoyable. A set of colorful pens, markers, or gel pens can add a fun touch to her stories. Additionally, a comfortable and ergonomic pen or pencil grip can make long writing sessions more comfortable.

4. Writing Software: If she writes on her computer or tablet, consider gifting her a professional writing software like Scrivener or Final Draft. These programs offer various features specifically designed for writers, such as organization tools, character development templates, and formatting assistance.

5. Books on Writing: Help her improve her writing skills with books that provide tips, techniques, and insights from experienced authors. Titles like "On Writing" by Stephen King or "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott can inspire and motivate her on her writing journey.

6. Membership to Writing Communities: Encourage her to connect with other writers by gifting her a membership to an online writing community or forum. There are platforms available where writers can share their work, collaborate, and receive feedback from fellow writers, which can greatly benefit her writing growth.

7. Fanfiction Anthologies: Consider purchasing a collection of published fanfiction pieces based on her favorite fandoms. This can expose her to different writing styles within the fanfiction community and inspire her with new ideas. Additionally, it can serve as a tangible reminder that her work could also be published one day.

8. Writing Workshops or Classes: Explore local writing workshops or online courses where she can further develop her writing skills. Enrolling her in writing classes focusing on topics like character development, plot structure, or world-building can provide her with valuable knowledge and guidance.

9. Customizable Writer's Tote Bag: Surprise her with a personalized tote bag that reflects her passion for writing. You can have her name or a special message printed on it along with imagery related to her favorite fandom or writing in general. It's not only a thoughtful gift but also a practical one for carrying her writing tools and notebooks.

10. Encouragement and Validation: Lastly, the most meaningful gift you can give her is your support and encouragement. Let her know that you believe in her talent and passion for writing and that you're proud of her work. Offer to read her stories and provide feedback or even discuss her favorite fandoms with her. Sometimes, the greatest gift is simply showing someone that you value their interests and creative endeavors.

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

“My fiancé loves to look at the stars so this was the perfect gift for his birthday. FUN FACT: Our first date was also the day he asked me to date him!”
