Five Star Gift Ideas

For a mom who is passionate about poetry writing and performance, I have a few unique and meaningful gift ideas that can enhance her talent, inspire her creativity, and show your support for her artistic endeavors.

1. Custom Leather Journal: A beautiful, personalized leather journal can make the perfect gift for a poetry enthusiast. Choose a high-quality journal with blank pages that she can fill with her thoughts and verses. You can also add a sentimental message or her name embossed on the cover to make it even more special.

2. Poetry Workshop or Masterclass: Give your mom the opportunity to further develop her skills and nurture her love for poetry by enrolling her in a poetry workshop or masterclass. This can be an in-person workshop with a reputable poet in your area, or even an online course that she can take at her convenience. It will enable her to learn new techniques, gain insights, and connect with a supportive community of fellow poets.

3. Tickets to Poetry Events or Open Mic Nights: Find out if there are any poetry events or open mic nights happening in your area. Surprise your mom with tickets to one of these events so she can witness live poetry performances and draw inspiration from other talented poets. You can even check if there are local poetry slams organized and get her involved if she would appreciate the opportunity to perform her own work.

4. Poetry Anthologies or Collections: Expand your mom's poetic horizons by gifting her a collection of poetry books or anthologies. Look for renowned poets or collections that align with her interests or themes she enjoys writing about. Some notable options include "The Sun and Her Flowers" by Rupi Kaur, "Milk and Honey" by Rupi Kaur, or "The Essential Rumi."

5. Poetry Writing Toolkit: Put together a poetry writing toolkit for your mom, including essentials like high-quality pens, a notebook, and a book of writing prompts. You can also include items like a small dictionary and thesaurus or a book on poetic forms and techniques. These tools will not only aid her writing process but also encourage her to explore new forms or experiment with various styles.

6. Poetry Inspired Jewelry: Consider giving your mom a piece of jewelry that is inspired by poetry or includes poetic quotes. It could be a necklace with a pendant that features a literary symbol, like a quill or an open book, or a bracelet engraved with a meaningful poem line. This gift will serve as a constant reminder of her love for poetry and add a touch of elegance to her everyday wear.

Remember, the key to a personal and thoughtful gift is to consider your mom's specific interests and tastes. By selecting a gift that reflects her love for poetry writing and performance, you are not only celebrating her passion but also showing your support and appreciation for her artistic journey.

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”
