Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who loves writing and wants to create her own book, I have some meaningful and personal gift ideas that can help nurture her passion and support her creative journey.

1. Writing Resources: Consider getting her some writing resources that will inspire and guide her throughout the process. This could include books on writing techniques, journals for brainstorming and drafting, and a good quality pen or pencil set. Additionally, you could invest in a subscription to a writing magazine or a membership to a writing community where she can connect with fellow writers and receive feedback on her work.

2. Writing Workshops/Courses: Help your daughter further develop her writing skills by enrolling her in a writing workshop or course. There are various online platforms and local institutions that offer creative writing classes, which can provide valuable insights, feedback, and the opportunity to learn from experienced writers. This experience can boost her confidence and expose her to different writing styles and techniques.

3. Personalized Stationery: A thoughtful and personalized gift idea could be a set of customized stationery items. Consider having her name or initials engraved on a notebook or journal, personalized notepads, or even custom-made writing paper. These personalized items will elevate her writing experience and make it more enjoyable to jot down her ideas and work on her stories.

4. Writer's Retreat or Residency Program: If your budget allows for it, consider sending your daughter on a writer's retreat or residency program. These programs offer a dedicated space and time for writers to focus on their craft, surrounded by other creative individuals. It's a fantastic opportunity for her to immerse herself in the writing process, gain inspiration, and receive mentorship from established authors.

5. Publishing Assistance: If your daughter has expressed interest in publishing her work, you could consider offering assistance to help her navigate the publishing world. This could involve hiring a literary agent or publishing consultant who can guide her through the process of submitting manuscripts, negotiating contracts, and finding the right publishers. Alternatively, you could gift her a self-publishing kit or a subscription to a self-publishing platform where she can release her work independently.

6. Writer's Retreat at Home: Create a cozy and inspiring writing environment for your daughter at home. Set up a designated writing space with a comfortable desk, a bookshelf filled with books from her favorite authors, inspiring quotes, and motivational writing prompts. You could also include a writing-themed candle or a mug with a witty writing quote to help set the mood and make her writing sessions even more enjoyable.

Remember, the most important thing is to support your daughter's passion for writing and encourage her to pursue her dreams. With these thoughtful and personal gift ideas, you can inspire and empower her to continue honing her skills and sharing her stories with the world.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

Luann Skinner says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I ordered the star map 8 days before my daughter's birthday. It arrived in 7 days just in time for her birthday. Thank you! She loved the star map.”
