Five Star Gift Ideas

For your wife who loves writing short stories and novels, there are numerous thoughtful and meaningful gifts that can enhance her craft and show her how much you appreciate her passion. Here are a few ideas to consider for a memorable Valentine's Day gift:

1. Personalized Leather Journal: A beautiful leather-bound journal with her initials or name engraved on the cover can be a great gift. This will not only inspire her to continue writing but also make each entry feel special and cherished.

2. Creative Writing Workshops or Classes: Consider enrolling her in a workshop or an online course focused on creative writing. This gift will provide her with the opportunity to enhance her skills, interact with other writers, and gain inspiration from experienced mentors.

3. Writing Retreat or Writer's Conference: Surprise her with a weekend retreat or a ticket to a writer's conference where she can meet and learn from acclaimed authors and get exposed to new writing techniques and ideas. Such events often offer a nurturing environment for creativity and can invigorate her writing process.

4. Vintage Typewriter or Writing Laptop: If your wife enjoys the nostalgia of typewriters or prefers writing on a dedicated device, a vintage typewriter or a sleek, portable writing laptop can be a thoughtful gift. A physical keyboard can evoke a different creative energy for her writing endeavors.

5. Subscription to a Literary Magazine or Book Club: Fuel her inspiration by signing her up for a subscription to a literary magazine or a book club focused on the genre she loves. It will open doors to new authors and allow her to explore a variety of stories and writing styles.

6. Professional Editing or Critique Services: Help her take her writing to the next level by hiring a professional editor or critique service to review and provide feedback on her work. This gift will not only show your support for her writing but also assist her in honing her skills and potentially improving her manuscripts.

7. Inspiring Books and Writing Guides: Gift your wife with a selection of inspiring books about writing, such as Stephen King's "On Writing" or Anne Lamott's "Bird by Bird." You can also consider books that provide prompt ideas or practical guides to enhance her storytelling abilities.

8. Customized Writer's Toolbox: Create a personalized writer's toolbox filled with writing essentials like high-quality pens, notebooks, sticky notes, index cards, and a comfortable writing desk set. Customizing it with small details or quotes that resonate with her will make it an extra special gift.

Remember, the most important aspect of your gift is to show your support and appreciation for her passion for writing. By selecting a thoughtful gift that aligns with her interests, you will not only inspire her but also remind her of your unwavering love and support.

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!”
