Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves writing and poetry, there are several thoughtful gift ideas that can enhance his passion and creativity. Here are a few recommendations that he might appreciate:

1. Poetry Books: Consider getting him a collection of poems from renowned poets or anthologies that focus on a specific style or theme. This will expose him to different writing styles and offer inspiration for his own work. You can also include books by his favorite poets or contemporary writers he might like.

2. Writing Tools: Help him refine his craft with practical tools like a high-quality journal or a set of specialty pens. Many writers enjoy writing by hand, and a luxurious journal or a special edition of a notebook can make the experience even more enjoyable. Consider selecting a sustainable and eco-friendly option.

3. Writing Prompts: Encourage his creativity by gifting him a book of writing prompts or a card deck with writing prompts on each card. These can provide fresh ideas and challenge him to explore new topics and styles. You might find options specifically tailored to poetry writing or general writing exercises.

4. Writing Workshop or Course: If your son is interested in developing his writing skills further, how about enrolling him in a writing workshop or an online course? This could be a great opportunity for him to learn from experienced writers, receive feedback on his work, and connect with other writers in a supportive community.

5. Customized Writing Accessories: Consider personalizing a writing-related accessory for him, such as a notebook with his initials embossed on the cover, a custom-made pen with his name engraved on it, or a handmade leather journal cover. Such personalized gifts add a sentimental touch and make his writing experience even more meaningful.

6. Poetry Open Mic Night: If he enjoys sharing his work with others, look for local poetry open mic nights or writing communities where he can participate and perform his poetry. You could accompany him to the event as a special bonding experience and show your support.

7. Subscription to Literary Magazines: Give him the gift of inspiration throughout the year by subscribing to a literary magazine or poetry publication. This way, he will receive regular doses of new poems, literary essays, and interviews with poets, which can keep him engaged and up-to-date with the current literary scene.

Remember, the most valuable gift you can give your son is your encouragement and support. Show genuine interest in his writing, engage in conversations about his work, and create a nurturing environment that fosters his creativity.

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.”
