Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves poetry writing and open mic nights, there are endless possibilities for meaningful and personal Christmas gifts that will encourage and inspire his creative passions. Here are a few ideas that he might love:

1. Poetry Anthologies: Get him a collection of poetry books by renowned poets or contemporary writers. Look for anthologies that cover a variety of themes or styles to broaden his exposure to different voices and perspectives. This will not only provide him with inspiration but also help him further refine his own writing skills.

2. Writing Workshops or Classes: Help your son enhance his poetry writing skills by enrolling him in a local writing workshop or poetry class. These can provide opportunities for him to learn from experienced writers, receive feedback on his work, and connect with peers who share his passion.

3. Moleskine Notebook: A high-quality notebook is a writer's best friend. Consider getting him a classic Moleskine notebook where he can jot down his brilliant poetry ideas and sketches. You could even personalize it by engraving his name or a motivational quote on the cover.

4. Handcrafted Leather Journal: Opt for a more unique and rustic gift by choosing a handcrafted leather journal. The tactile feel and aesthetic beauty of a beautiful leather journal can be incredibly inspiring, encouraging your son to fill its pages with his thoughts and emotions.

5. Portable Poetry Kit: Surprise him with a portable poetry kit that includes magnetic words or phrases he can arrange to create new poems wherever he goes. These kits are fun, compact, and perfect for stimulating creativity whenever inspiration strikes.

6. Open Mic Night Experience: Consider giving him an experience rather than a physical gift. Find local open mic nights in your area and plan an evening out for him to showcase his talent. Show your support by attending the event, and perhaps invite a few friends or family members to cheer him on. This gives him the opportunity to share his poetry with an audience and gain confidence as a performer.

7. Customized Poetry Print: If he has a favorite poem that has resonated with him, consider having it professionally typeset and framed as a personalized poetry print. This unique and thoughtful gift allows him to display his favorite poem as a work of art, keeping him inspired in his personal writing space.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and effort put into selecting it. Show your son that you appreciate and support his passion for poetry by choosing a gift that reflects his interests and encourages his creative journey.

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.”
