Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves reading poetry, there are numerous gift ideas that can enhance and elevate his poetic journey. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Poetry Books: By gifting your son a collection of poetry books, you can introduce him to new writers, styles, and perspectives. Consider classic poets like William Shakespeare, Robert Frost, or E.E. Cummings, or explore modern poets like Rupi Kaur, Lang Leav, or Warsan Shire. You can curate a selection based on his specific interests or include anthologies spanning different eras and themes.

2. Poetry Journal: Encourage your son to express his own poetic voice by gifting him a poetry journal. These journals often provide prompts, space for writing, and inspiring quotes. This gift will allow him to nurture his creativity, write down his thoughts, and develop his own poetic style.

3. Poetry Workshop or Course: Consider enrolling your son in a poetry workshop or online course. These experiences can provide valuable insights, feedback from experienced poets, and the opportunity to connect with a community of fellow writers. Such workshops can help him refine his skills, learn new techniques, and gain inspiration from other aspiring poets.

4. Personalized Poetry Book: Get creative and make a personalized poetry book for your son. Collect his favorite poems or poems that reflect his interests and compile them into a beautifully designed book. You can also include his own writings, quotes, or illustrations to make it truly unique and meaningful.

5. Magnetic Poetry Kit: These kits consist of words printed on magnetic tiles, allowing your son to arrange and rearrange them on a magnetic surface to create his own poems. They come in various themes like love, nature, or even story-telling. This interactive gift will enable him to experiment with words and unleash his creativity in a fun and unique way.

6. Poetry Subscription Box: Consider a poetry subscription box that delivers curated poetry collections, literary magazines, or poetry-related accessories to your son's doorstep on a regular basis. This gift will keep him inspired and engaged with the world of poetry throughout the year.

7. Poetry-related Accessories: Look for accessories that convey his love for poetry, such as bookmarks with poetic quotes, a custom-made poetry-inspired bracelet, or a typewriter key necklace. These small but thoughtful gifts can serve as daily reminders of his passion for poetry.

Remember, the key is to personalize the gift based on your son's specific interests and preferences. By showing your support for his love of poetry, you not only provide him with insightful and enjoyable reading material but also encourage him to continue exploring and developing his own poetic voice.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
