Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who loves writing haiku poetry, why not give them a meaningful and personal gift that celebrates their passion for this beautiful art form? Here are a few ideas that might resonate with them:

1. Customized poetry journal: Consider getting a personalized poetry journal specifically designed for haiku writing. Look for one with compact, high-quality paper and a beautiful cover that reflects their taste. You could even have their name or a short message engraved on the front for an extra special touch.

2. Haiku workshop or retreat: Help your friend further enhance their haiku skills by gifting them a spot in a haiku workshop or retreat. These events often bring together like-minded individuals who appreciate the beauty of this particular art form. It's a great opportunity for your friend to network with fellow haiku writers and learn from experienced poets in an inspiring environment.

3. Haiku anthology: Explore the world of haiku poetry by gifting your friend a carefully curated anthology of haiku from renowned haiku masters or contemporary poets. Choose a collection that features a wide range of styles and themes to provide them with inspiration and widen their horizons.

4. Calligraphy supplies: Haiku poetry is as much about the visual presentation as it is about the words themselves. Consider giving your friend a calligraphy set that includes pens, brushes, ink, and beautiful paper. Encourage them to experiment with different calligraphy techniques to add an extra layer of beauty to their haiku creations.

5. Personalized haiku artwork: Commission a talented artist to create a piece of art that combines your friend's love for haiku with a personalized touch. It could be a beautiful painting or a framed calligraphy piece showcasing one of their favorite haikus or a haiku they wrote themselves. This artwork will not only be a wonderful decoration for their home but also serve as a constant reminder of their passion for haiku.

6. Poem analysis books: Help deepen your friend's knowledge and appreciation for haiku poetry by gifting them books that analyze and provide insights into the meaning, symbolism, and techniques behind haiku. These books can serve as a valuable resource, inspiring them to further explore and refine their own haiku writing skills.

Remember to wrap your gift thoughtfully and include a personalized note expressing your admiration and support for their haiku endeavors. The most meaningful gift is often the one that shows how well you know and understand someone's passions and interests, and these ideas aim to do just that for your friend who loves haiku poetry.

Or you can get her/him a star map with the date of the wedding.

“This was such a beautiful gift for my son and his wife for the day they married. My only problem was I left it in the cart where I tried to buy a frame and they never got to see it. I have to order another one, it was too perfect of a gift 🎁👍❤️”
