Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who loves poetry slam and spoken word performance, there are several heartfelt and meaningful gift ideas that will truly resonate with her passion. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. Poetry Books: Delve into the world of poetry by gifting her a collection of renowned poets, or explore contemporary poets who specialize in spoken word performance. Look for artists such as Sarah Kay, Rudy Francisco, or Warsan Shire. These books will not only inspire her own creativity but also give her new perspectives and ideas.

2. Spoken Word Performance Workshops or Classes: Encourage your daughter to further explore her passion by enrolling her in spoken word performance workshops or classes. This will provide her with the opportunity to learn from experienced poets and gain insights into the art form. It will also allow her to connect with like-minded individuals and build a supportive community.

3. Poetry Slam Tickets: Keep an eye out for local poetry slam events or spoken word performances happening in your area. Gifting her tickets to attend these live events will not only expose her to different styles and voices but also provide her with a chance to witness the power of spoken word firsthand.

4. Journal or Writing Tools: Poetry often begins on the page, so a beautiful journal and writing tools can be a cherished gift. Consider a journal specifically designed for writing poetry, featuring prompts or creative exercises to inspire her writing process. Additionally, you can include a set of quality pens or even a typewriter, depending on her preference.

5. Personalized Poetry: If you want to give her something truly unique and personal, consider writing a poem just for her. Incorporate themes or topics that she resonates with, and express your love and admiration for her passion. Alternatively, you can commission a spoken word artist to create a custom poem dedicated to her. This heartfelt and personalized gift will undoubtedly be treasured.

6. Poetry Slam Merchandise: Many poets and spoken word performers have merchandise available for purchase, such as T-shirts, tote bags, or posters featuring their powerful words. Look for merchandise from her favorite poets or poetry slam events. Not only will these items make her feel connected to the poetry community, but they will also showcase her love for the art form.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is to show your daughter that you support and appreciate her passion for poetry. By choosing a gift that aligns with her interests, you are acknowledging her unique talents and encouraging her to continue exploring and expressing herself through spoken word performance.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
