Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who enjoys poetry slams and spoken word performances, I have a few gift ideas that will surely make her birthday special and reflect her love for this art form.

1. Tickets to Poetry Slam Events: Surprise your mom with tickets to upcoming poetry slam events or spoken word performances in her area. It will give her the opportunity to witness the live energy of poets performing on stage and connect with like-minded individuals who share her passion.

2. Personalized/Customized Poem: Commission a personal and unique poem for your mom, written by a local spoken word artist or poet. Provide them with some information about your mom's life, interests, and meaningful memories to create a one-of-a-kind piece that will touch her heart. It can be an empowering or heartfelt poem that encapsulates her journey or celebrates her as a person.

3. Poetry Anthologies: If your mom loves poetry, gift her a collection of poetry anthologies that feature renowned poets or focus on spoken word performances. Look for compilations that include diverse voices and styles, ensuring she has a wide array of stimulating poetry to enjoy in her leisure time.

4. Spoken Word Workshops or Classes: If your mom has ever expressed interest in writing or performing her own poetry, gift her a session or a series of spoken word workshops or classes. It will encourage her to explore her creativity, learn from experienced poets, and perhaps even perform her own work one day.

5. Recordings of Poem Performances: Research and find recordings or DVDs of popular spoken word performances or poetry slams. This way, your mom can enjoy watching or listening to her favorite performers anytime she wants, from the comfort of her home. It's also a wonderful way to introduce her to new artists and styles she may not have discovered yet.

6. Writing Materials: Inspire your mom's writing by gifting her a luxurious journal, a set of high-quality pens, or a typewriter. These gifts will not only support her creativity but also give her the tools to practice and nurture her love for poetry.

7. Poetry-themed Jewelry or Clothing: Consider finding jewelry or clothing items that feature meaningful poetry quotes or symbols. It could be a pendant with a line from her favorite poem or a t-shirt with a spoken word artist's logo. These items will allow her to proudly showcase her love for poetry and spoken word in her everyday life.

Remember to accompany your gift with a heartfelt and personal note expressing how much you appreciate your mom's passion for poetry slams and spoken word. Your love and support will make her birthday gift even more meaningful and cherished.

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”
