Five Star Gift Ideas

For your wife who enjoys creative writing and fiction workshops, I have a few meaningful gift ideas that could inspire and enhance her passion for writing.

1. Writing Retreat or Workshop: Consider gifting her an experience at a writing retreat or workshop. This will not only give her a chance to learn and develop her skills further but also provide a wonderful opportunity to connect with other writers and expand her writing network. Research the available options in your area or search for renowned workshops that offer online sessions as well.

2. Online Writing Course: To support her love for creative writing, you could gift her an online writing course. There are various platforms and websites that offer courses on different aspects of writing, such as character development, plot structure, or even specific genres like fantasy or mystery. Look for courses taught by established authors or instructors with great reviews and choose one that aligns with her interests.

3. Writing Prompts or Inspiration Cards: A set of writing prompts or inspiration cards can be an amazing gift for her. These prompts help to spark creativity and can act as a springboard for new story ideas. Consider finding a set with prompts that align with her preferred genre of writing or ones that foster her creativity in various directions. This gift not only encourages her to write more but also provides a source of inspiration whenever she hits a creative block.

4. Personalized Writing Journal: A personalized writing journal can be a thoughtful gift. Look for high-quality journals with elegant designs or consider going the extra mile by customizing one with her name or a meaningful quote embossed on the cover. This personalized touch will not only make the journal unique but also showcase your thoughtfulness and support for her writing endeavors.

5. Books on Writing: There are numerous books written by renowned authors that offer insights into the craft of writing and serve as valuable resources for aspiring writers. Consider gifting her a couple of books on writing, such as Stephen King's "On Writing" or Anne Lamott's "Bird by Bird." These books not only provide guidance and inspiration but also offer a glimpse into the writing process of successful authors.

6. Literary Subscription Boxes: Explore literary subscription boxes that curate bookish items and writing-related goodies. These boxes often include new and bestselling books, writing prompts, unique pens, bookmarks, and other literary-inspired items. Subscribing to a monthly or quarterly delivery will give her something to look forward to and can provide ongoing inspiration for her writing endeavors.

Remember to tailor your gift to her specific preferences and interests within the realm of creative writing and fiction workshops. Ultimately, the most meaningful gift will be one that reflects your understanding and support for her passions and aspirations as a writer.

Or you can get her a star map with the date of your first kiss.

David Dickason says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“Ordered a map of the stars above us when my wife and I realized that we wanted a friendship to turn into something more - gave it to her yesterday (Valentine's Day) and got a most enthusiastic response. We are best pleased!”
