Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for writing poetry and creative fiction, I have a few thoughtful gift ideas that could enhance his literary pursuits and inspire his creativity even further.

1. Writing Prompt Books: Encourage your son's imagination by gifting him a collection of writing prompt books. These books are filled with unique and thought-provoking prompts that can spark his inspiration and help him explore new ideas and writing styles.

2. Leather Journal: A high-quality leather journal can be a wonderful gift for any writer. It provides a tactile and stylish place for your son to jot down his thoughts, ideas, and drafts. Consider personalizing it with his name or initials to make it even more special.

3. Book of Poetry: As your son loves writing poetry, he will surely appreciate a book filled with the works of renowned poets. Choose a collection that includes a variety of styles and themes to broaden his knowledge and inspire his own poetic voice.

4. Writing Workshops: Look for writing workshops or classes held by local community centers, colleges, or writing organizations that your son can attend. These workshops can provide valuable guidance, feedback, and networking opportunities for him to meet other writers and learn from experienced professionals.

5. Literary Magazine Subscription: Help your son stay up-to-date with the latest trends in the writing community by gifting him a subscription to a respected literary magazine. This will expose him to different writing styles, contemporary literature, and may even inspire him to submit his own work.

6. Portable Laptop or Tablet: If your son doesn't already have a portable device for writing, consider getting him a lightweight laptop or tablet that he can take with him anywhere. This will allow him to work on his poetry and fiction even when he's away from his desk or at a café, capturing his ideas as they come to him.

7. Writing Software: Consider gifting him a subscription to a popular writing software or app designed specifically for writers. These tools often include features such as word count trackers, organization tools, and distraction-free writing environments that can enhance his writing process and increase productivity.

8. Personalized Writing Accessories: Customized writing accessories can make for meaningful and unique gifts. Consider getting him personalized notebooks, pens, or bookmarks, engraved with his name, a special quote, or his favorite literary symbol.

9. Poetry Open Mic Night or Writing Retreat: Research local poetry open mic nights or writing retreats where your son can

participate and meet other writers or poets. Not only will he have an opportunity to share his work and receive feedback, but he will also be immersed in an environment that nurtures creativity and provides inspiration.

10. Literary Subscription Box: Subscription boxes specifically designed for writers often include items such as writing prompts, notebooks, pens, literary-themed gifts, and even books. A monthly literary surprise can be a delightful and motivating gift for your son.

Remember, the most important part of giving a gift is showing your support for your son's passions and interests. Whatever gift you choose, it will undoubtedly be appreciated as a gesture of encouragement and belief in his talent and potential.

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.”
