Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves poetry writing, I have some meaningful and personalized gift ideas that will support and inspire his creative interests.

1. Poetry Writing Workshop: Consider gifting your son a poetry writing workshop or course where he can learn new techniques, receive feedback, and interact with other aspiring poets. This will provide him with the opportunity to enhance his skills and gain valuable insights from experienced poets.

2. Poetry Anthologies: Explore a collection of renowned poetry anthologies and select ones that align with his preferred style or genre. From classic poetry to contemporary works, these anthologies will expose your son to various poets, styles, and themes, providing him with fresh ideas and inspiration for his own writing.

3. Poetry Journal: Encourage your son to document his thoughts and ideas by gifting him a high-quality and personalized poetry journal. This will not only allow him to pen down his creations but also serve as a keepsake for his poetic journey. Consider selecting a journal with a unique cover design or even have his name or a meaningful quote engraved on it.

4. Writing Prompts: Help him overcome writer's block and unlock his creative potential by gifting a set of poetry writing prompts. These prompts can be in the form of cards, a book, or even a subscription service where he receives a new prompt regularly. By providing him with fresh and diverse topics to explore, you'll keep his creative juices flowing.

5. Poetry Slam Tickets: If your son enjoys sharing his poetry or being part of a community of poets, surprise him with tickets to a poetry slam event. These live performances are not only entertaining but also give poets the opportunity to express themselves, gain exposure, and connect with other artists. Attending a poetry slam can be an inspiring and memorable experience for him.

6. Personalized Pen: Help your son feel more connected to his poetry by gifting him a customized pen with his name engraved on it. This will serve as a reminder of his passion and dedication to the art of writing. Opt for a high-quality pen that will make his writing sessions even more enjoyable and special.

7. Poetry Chapbooks: Look for self-published poetry chapbooks or zines that showcase the work of emerging poets. Supporting independent artists and providing your son with the chance to explore the works of his peers can be an enriching experience and inspire him to continue pursuing his own poetry writing.

8. Poetry Writing Apps: If your son enjoys using technology as a tool for his creativity, consider gifting him a poetry writing app. There are a variety of apps available that offer various features such as word suggestions, editing tools, and the ability to connect with other poets online. This will provide him with a modern and convenient way to write and share his poetry.

Remember, the most important thing is to support and encourage your son's passion for poetry writing. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests, you'll show him that you value and appreciate his creative pursuits.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
