Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who is a fan of poetry writing, I have some meaningful and personal gift ideas that will not only inspire her imagination but also encourage her passion for this art form.

1. Writing journal: A beautiful and high-quality journal is an essential tool for any writer. Look for one with an elegant design or personalize it with her initials. A journal dedicated solely to her poetry will make the writing experience more special, and she can carry it wherever she goes, ready to pen down her thoughts and emotions.

2. Poetry anthology: Gift her a collection of poems from renowned poets or an anthology specifically dedicated to young and aspiring poets. This will expose her to different styles, themes, and perspectives, and serve as a source of inspiration for her own writing. Some popular options include "Milk and Honey" by Rupi Kaur, "The Sun and Her Flowers" by Rupi Kaur, and "Ariel" by Sylvia Plath.

3. Poetry writing workshop or course: Consider enrolling her in a local poetry writing workshop or an online course where she can learn and develop her skills further. Interacting with other aspiring poets and receiving feedback from experienced instructors can greatly enhance her creativity and understanding of the art form.

4. Typewriter or fountain pen: Encourage her love for the traditional art of writing by gifting her a vintage typewriter or an elegant fountain pen. The tactile experience of using these timeless tools might inspire her even more and add a touch of nostalgia to her poetry writing process.

5. Subscription to a literary magazine: Help her stay updated with the latest trends and works in the poetry world by gifting her a subscription to a literary magazine that focuses on poetry. She will receive regular doses of poetry, discover new poets, and stay connected to the poetry community.

6. Poem-a-day calendar: These calendars provide a new poem every day, serving as a constant source of inspiration and allowing her to explore a variety of poetic styles and voices. Each day, she can start with a fresh poem and let it shape her own thoughts and creative process.

7. Personalized poetry book: Take her favorite poems or some of her own work and compile them into a personalized book. You can add illustrations, photos, and even personal notes or dedications to make it even more special. This will not only showcase her poetry but also become a cherished keepsake that she can look back on in the future.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your daughter that you support and value her love for poetry. These personalized gift ideas will not only nourish her passion but also provide her with the tools and sources of inspiration to continue growing as a poet.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
