Five Star Gift Ideas

If your daughter is passionate about slam poetry, why not consider getting her a gift that supports and enhances her love for this art form? Here are a few ideas to inspire you:

1. Slam Poetry Workshops or Classes: Look for local or online slam poetry workshops or classes that your daughter can attend. These would provide her with an opportunity to learn from experienced poets, receive constructive feedback, and connect with fellow slam poetry enthusiasts.

2. Slam Poetry Books: Expand your daughter's collection of slam poetry by gifting her books written by influential poets in the genre. Some popular titles include "The Poet X" by Elizabeth Acevedo, "School of Awake" by Kidada Jones, and "B" by Sarah Kay.

3. Personalized Slam Poetry Journal: Encourage your daughter to write and express herself by getting her a personalized slam poetry journal. You can choose a journal with her name or initials on the cover, or even have a custom cover designed with her favorite slam poetry quote or picture.

4. Slam Poetry Performance Tickets: Keep an eye out for upcoming slam poetry events, competitions, or open mic nights in your area. Buy tickets for your daughter and a friend to attend and enjoy an evening of powerful spoken word performances.

5. Writing Tools: As a poet, your daughter will appreciate high-quality writing tools, such as a premium notebook, a set of fine-tipped pens or markers, or a digital tablet specifically designed for writing and drawing.

6. Poetry Slam Merchandise: Check if there are any slam poetry-related merchandise available, such as T-shirts, hoodies, or tote bags featuring her favorite slam poets or famous slam poetry quotes. These items can make great conversation starters and show her love for this art form.

7. Film or Documentary about Slam Poetry: Surprise your daughter with a DVD or a streaming subscription for a film or documentary focused on slam poetry. "Louder Than a Bomb" and "SlamNation" are two acclaimed documentaries that showcase the power and impact of spoken word poetry.

8. Poetry Slam Gift Set: Put together a personalized gift set for your daughter, including items like a journal, a set of poetry magnets, a book of famous slam poetry pieces, and a gift card to a local café where she can enjoy a cup of coffee while writing or attending open mic nights.

Remember, the most important aspect of gifting is to show that you support and encourage your daughter's passions. By getting her a gift that aligns with her love for slam poetry, you are acknowledging her interests and providing her with tools and experiences to further explore and express herself in this beautiful art form.

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