For your grandson who loves playwriting, why not consider a gift that will both inspire and support his creative endeavors? Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas to consider:

1. Writing Workshop or Class: Encourage your grandson's passion for playwriting by enrolling him in a writing workshop or class. This will not only provide him with valuable knowledge and guidance but also the opportunity to meet and collaborate with other aspiring playwrights.

2. Writing Prompts and Exercise Books: Help spark your grandson's creativity with a collection of writing prompts and exercise books specifically tailored for playwrights. These resources can provide him with new ideas, challenges, and techniques to explore and improve his craft.

3. Plays and Scripts: Expand your grandson's repertoire by gifting him a selection of plays and scripts from renowned playwrights. This will allow him to study and learn from the works of his favorite playwrights, as well as discover new voices and styles within the genre.

4. Subscription to a Playwriting Magazine or Website: A subscription to a playwriting magazine or a dedicated website can provide your grandson with a wealth of industry insights, tips, and opportunities. This gift will keep him informed about current trends in the theater world and inspire him with interviews and articles from established playwrights.

5. Playwriting Software: Consider purchasing professional playwriting software for your grandson. These programs are designed to help writers format their scripts correctly and navigate the technical aspects of playwriting easily.

6. Tickets to a Play or Theater Production: Treat your grandson to a live theater experience by gifting him tickets to a play or theater production. Seeing the work of talented actors and directors in action can be highly motivating for aspiring playwrights, and also provide them with inspiration for their own works.

7. Personalized Writing Journal or Notebook: A personalized writing journal or notebook can be a thoughtful and practical gift for your grandson. Whether he prefers pen and paper or likes to jot down ideas on the go, this gift will give him a dedicated space to brainstorm, outline, and develop his plays.

8. Gift Card to a Local Theater Supply Store: If your grandson enjoys exploring the world of theater and stagecraft, consider giving him a gift card to a local theater supply store. This will allow him to purchase stage props, costumes, or even attend workshops on directing or set design, further enhancing his understanding of the theater industry.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows your grandson that you support and nurture his passion for playwriting. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests and provides him with opportunities to learn and grow, you will undoubtedly make his birthday extra special.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
