Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who loves writing poetry and journaling, I have a few gift ideas that can help inspire and enhance her creative process.

1. High-quality Leather Journal: A beautiful leather-bound journal can make writing an even more enjoyable and luxurious experience. Look for one with smooth pages, vibrant colors, and a size that fits her preferences. You could even have her initials embossed on the cover for a personalized touch.

2. Pen Set: A set of high-quality pens can make a big difference in the writing experience. Consider getting her a collection of different pens with varying thicknesses and colors. A smooth-writing pen can help her effortlessly translate her thoughts onto paper.

3. Poetry Book: Every poet finds inspiration in the work of others. Look for a compilation of poetry from renowned poets or a collection that specifically aligns with her writing style or interests. It could be a classic anthology or even a contemporary collection from up-and-coming poets.

4. Creative Writing Course: To further nurture her talent, consider enrolling her in a creative writing course or workshop. Many reputable institutions offer online classes that are convenient and accessible. These courses can help her expand her skills, learn new techniques, and connect with other writers.

5. Themed Writing Prompts: Sometimes, a little nudge is all that's needed to spark creativity. Look for a set of themed writing prompts designed specifically for poets or journalers. These prompts can help inspire her with unique ideas and themes to explore in her writing.

6. Book of Poetry Exercises: Alongside writing prompts, a book of poetry exercises can provide a structured approach to writing. These exercises can help her experiment with different techniques and styles, encouraging her to push the boundaries of her creativity while having fun with her craft.

7. Personalized Desk Accessories: Create a cozy writing space for your mom by gifting her personalized desk accessories. This could include a monogrammed desk pad, a customized mug for her favorite beverage, and even a comfortable seat cushion. Providing her with a dedicated writing area can boost her motivation and overall experience.

8. Subscription to a Literary Magazine: Subscribe your mom to a literary magazine focused on poetry or creative writing. This will give her the opportunity to read inspiring works by fellow poets and stay updated with the latest trends and styles. It can also provide her with a platform to submit her own work if she chooses to.

9. Handmade Calligraphy or Typography Art: If your mom appreciates visual art alongside her written work, consider getting her a piece of handmade calligraphy or typography art. You can select a meaningful quote or line from her favorite poem and have it intricately designed and framed as a decorative piece for her writing space.

10. Encouragement and Support: Last but not least, remember that your love and support mean the world to your mom. Encourage her to continue writing, participate in open mic nights or local poetry events, and offer to read and provide feedback on her work. This emotional support can be the most meaningful gift of all.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows you care and appreciate her passions. Whether it's a practical item or something more sentimental, the thoughtfulness behind the gift will make it special for your mom.

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”
