Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who loves freestyle rapping and songwriting, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift options to explore. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Songwriting Journal: Consider getting her a high-quality journal specifically designed for songwriting. Look for one with blank pages for lyrics, space for notes and ideas, and maybe even some inspirational quotes scattered throughout. This gift will allow her to keep all her songwriting endeavors organized while sparking creativity.

2. Recording Equipment: If your granddaughter wants to take her songwriting to the next level, consider investing in some basic recording equipment. A USB microphone and headphones, along with some software like GarageBand or Audacity, can allow her to record her freestyles and songs at home. This will provide her with the opportunity to listen to and share her music with others.

3. Music Lesson or Workshop: Look for local music schools or community centers that offer songwriting or rap workshops. Enrolling your granddaughter in such a program can enhance her skills, introduce her to other aspiring artists, and provide valuable guidance from experienced professionals. Alternatively, you can gift her a series of private lessons with a songwriting or rap coach who can help her refine her craft.

4. Customized Jewelry with Lyrics: Consider getting a piece of jewelry customized with lyrics from one of your granddaughter's favorite songs or a line from one of her own compositions. It can be a necklace, bracelet, or ring with an engraved message that holds special meaning for her as a songwriter.

5. Music Production Software/App: If she's interested in going beyond just songwriting and wants to explore music production, she may appreciate music production software or an app like Ableton Live, FL Studio, or Propellerhead Reason. With these tools, she can experiment with beats, sounds, and arrangements to bring her songs to life.

6. Inspiring Biographies/Memoirs: Gift your granddaughter some inspirational biographies or memoirs of successful rappers, hip-hop artists, or songwriters who have overcome challenges and achieved success. Learning about the journeys of artists she admires can provide motivation and valuable insights.

7. Live Performance Experience: Keep an eye out for local open mic nights or small music venues where artists can showcase their talent. Gifting her the opportunity to perform live in front of a supportive audience or even arranging a small private gathering where she can share her music can be a magical experience for her.

Remember, along with any gift you choose, your personal support and encouragement play a significant role in nurturing her love for freestyle rapping and songwriting. Your interest in her passion will mean a lot to her.

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

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
