Five Star Gift Ideas

Since your mom has a passion for poetry reading, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas to consider. Here are a few options that might speak to her love for literature and help enhance her poetry reading experience:

1. Poetry Anthology: Consider purchasing a beautifully curated poetry anthology featuring works from her favorite poets or a collection spanning different eras and styles. This way, she can discover and explore new voices within the world of poetry.

2. Personalized Poetry Book: If you want to add a personal touch, you could create a custom poetry book filled with her favorite poems, including some of her own written pieces if she enjoys writing. You can design and print the book online or consider hand-binding it for a more sentimental touch.

3. Literary Subscription Box: Subscription boxes are an exciting way to receive curated items based on specific interests. Look for a subscription box specifically tailored to poetry lovers. These boxes often include a selection of poetry books, stationery, and other related items that your mom will enjoy receiving on a regular basis.

4. Poetry Workshop or Class: Enroll her in a local poetry workshop or class to help her deepen her understanding and appreciation for the craft. This will provide her with an opportunity to learn from experienced poets, develop her own writing skills, and engage in stimulating discussions with like-minded individuals.

5. Poetry Reading Event: Keep an eye out for poetry reading events or open mic nights in your area. Purchase tickets for your mom to attend, or even better, organize a surprise outing to a poetry reading event where she can listen to her favorite poets or discover new ones while being surrounded by others who share her enthusiasm for poetry.

6. Poetry Prompts Journal: Help inspire her creativity with a poetry prompts journal. These journals provide daily or weekly prompts to spark her imagination and encourage regular writing. They can also serve as a personal growth tool as she explores different themes and styles through her poetry.

7. Portable Poetry Kit: Create a portable poetry kit for your mom, complete with a small notebook, pens, bookmarks featuring poetry quotes, and a mini poetry anthology. This way, she can jot down her thoughts or favorite lines whenever inspiration strikes, whether she's at home or on the go.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is the one that shows you understand and support her passions. By choosing a gift that aligns with her love for poetry reading, you'll demonstrate your thoughtfulness and appreciation for her personal interests.

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

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
