Five Star Gift Ideas

When it comes to choosing a meaningful and personal gift for your son who enjoys poetry writing, there are several options that can enhance his passion and foster his creativity. Here are a few gift ideas to consider:

1. Poetry Books: Expand your son's literary horizons by gifting him a collection of poetry books from renowned poets. Consider books by classic poets like William Shakespeare, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, or delve into contemporary poetry from authors like Rupi Kaur or Lang Leav. You can even opt for anthologies featuring various poets that cover different themes or styles of poetry.

2. Writing Journal: Encourage your son to jot down his poetic thoughts and ideas in a dedicated writing journal. Look for a journal with a beautiful cover or a personalized touch to make it more special. Additionally, consider one that includes prompts or exercises to help him explore different writing styles and expand his creativity.

3. Poetry Masterclasses or Workshops: If your son is passionate about poetry, consider enrolling him in a poetry masterclass or workshop. This could provide him with valuable guidance from experienced poets and an opportunity to hone his writing skills. Many renowned poets and institutions offer online or in-person workshops that cater to different levels of expertise.

4. Poetry Subscription Box: Surprise your son with a subscription box customized for aspiring poets. These boxes typically include a selection of poetry books, writing prompts, inspirational items, and other poetic treasures. This thoughtful gift will not only expose him to new poetry but also provide him with ongoing inspiration and motivation.

5. Typewriter or Calligraphy Set: Enhance your son's writing experience with a unique and nostalgic gift like a vintage typewriter or a high-quality calligraphy set. These tools can add a touch of authenticity to his poetic compositions and foster a deeper connection with the art of writing.

6. Poetry Slam or Open Mic Tickets: Look out for local poetry slams or open mic nights in your area and surprise your son with tickets. These events offer a platform for aspiring poets to showcase their work, connect with fellow writers, and gain valuable feedback. Attending such events can inspire and motivate your son to continue pursuing his passion for poetry.

7. Personalized Poetry Collection: Consider creating a personalized poetry collection for your son. Compile his favorite poems, including his own, into a professionally bound book. Include a heartfelt dedication in the beginning to express your love and admiration for his talent and passion.

Remember, the most important aspect of giving a gift is to show your understanding and support for your son's interests. By selecting a gift that aligns with his passion for poetry, you are not only providing him with a tangible item but also nurturing his creativity and encouraging him to pursue his dreams.

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

“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.”
