Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for poetry and spoken word performances, I have a few meaningful gift ideas that he will surely appreciate:

1. Poetry Anthology: Consider gifting your son a collection of renowned poems from various poets. Choose an anthology that showcases a diverse range of poetic styles and themes, so he can explore different poetic voices and expand his own horizons.

2. Spoken Word Workshop or Class: Help nurture his love for spoken word by enrolling him in a workshop or class. Look for local organizations, spoken word poets, or community centers that offer courses in spoken word poetry. This will provide him with an immersive experience to learn, practice, and connect with other poets.

3. Poetry Slam Tickets: Find upcoming poetry slams or spoken word events in your area and surprise your son with tickets to attend one. Poetry slams often showcase talented poets engaging in fierce and captivating performances. Attending live events can be inspiring and offer an opportunity for him to connect with like-minded individuals.

4. Writing Journal: Encourage your son to write and express himself by gifting him a high-quality journal dedicated to his poetry. Choose a journal with an aesthetically pleasing cover or one that has inspirational quotes scattered throughout its pages. This gift will serve as a personal canvas for his thoughts, ideas, and artistic inspiration.

5. Performance Microphone: Enhance your son's spoken word performances by gifting him a professional-grade performance microphone. This gift will enable him to experiment with different vocal techniques, enhance his stage presence, and elevate his overall performance. Opt for a microphone that is compatible with smartphones and laptops, so he can easily record and share his performances online.

6. Poetry Books by Favorite Poets: Research your son's favorite poets or spoken word performers and gift him books written by those individuals. Discovering new works from his favorite artists will not only provide him with insight into their creative process but will also inspire him in his own poetic journey.

7. Poetry Slam Compilation CDs or Digital Downloads: Many poetry slams record and release compilation CDs or digital downloads featuring performances from talented poets. Look for collections that align with your son's taste and style preferences. These compilations can serve as inspiration for his own performances or simply be enjoyed for the artistry and power of the spoken word.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is the thought and care you put into it. Knowing your son's passion for poetry and spoken word performances, any gift that supports and encourages his creative journey will be deeply meaningful to him.

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.”
