Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves poetry slam events, why not consider some thoughtful and meaningful gifts that show your support for his passion? Here are a few gift ideas to consider:

1. Poetry Slam Tickets: Surprise your son with tickets to a local poetry slam event or even a national poetry slam competition. Check out the schedule of upcoming events in your area and choose a date that works best for both of you. Attending a live poetry slam together will not only be a great experience but also a chance for shared memories.

2. Poetry Books: Help inspire and expand your son's collection of poetry by gifting him some acclaimed poetry books. Consider poets who have made an impact in the poetry slam scene, such as Sarah Kay, Taylor Mali, or Rudy Francisco. You could also explore anthologies that feature a wide range of poets and styles. This can provide him with different perspectives and give him inspiration for his own work.

3. Writing Tools: Support your son's creativity by providing him with quality writing tools. A beautiful leather-bound journal or a set of high-quality pens can make a thoughtful gift. Encouraging him to jot down his thoughts, ideas, and poems on paper will allow him to tap into his creativity and explore new avenues in his writing.

4. Poetry Workshop or Class: Help your son further enhance his poetic skills and understanding by enrolling him in a poetry workshop or class. Look for local organizations or community centers that offer creative writing courses or poetry-specific workshops. This gift will not only provide him with valuable knowledge and guidance but also give him an opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals.

5. Video Recording Equipment: If your son is interested in sharing his poetic performances with a wider audience, consider gifting him video recording equipment. A high-quality camera, tripod, or microphone can help him capture his powerful performances and share them on platforms like YouTube or social media. This gift will enable him to promote his work to a larger audience and potentially connect with other poets and enthusiasts.

6. Custom Poetry Slam Merchandise: Create a memorable and personalized gift by designing custom merchandise related to poetry slam events. You could opt for a custom t-shirt, hoodie, or tote bag with his favorite poetry slam slogan, or use his own poetry quotes to create unique items. This gift will allow him to proudly display his passion for poetry slam.

Remember, the key is to show your son that you appreciate and support his love for poetry slam events. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests and encourages his creativity, you are not only celebrating his passion but also deepening your connection with 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.”
