Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are a few gift ideas for your son who enjoys live poetry readings:

1. Tickets to a spoken word or poetry slam event in your city: Look for upcoming live poetry events in your area and surprise him with tickets to attend. Websites like Eventbrite and Ticketmaster can help you find events near you.

2. Poetry books by his favorite poets: Find out what poets your son enjoys hearing at live readings and buy him collections of their work for him to read at home.

3. Personalized poetry journal: Purchase a journal with a personalized message on the cover and encourage him to fill it with his own poetry or thoughts about the poems he hears at live readings.

4. Poetry slam board game: If your son enjoys board games, there is a Poetry Slam board game that simulates a poetry slam with players taking turns performing original poems.

5. Membership to poetry organizations: Consider purchasing a membership to organizations like the Academy of American Poets, which offers access to exclusive poems, as well as discounted or free event tickets.

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.”
