Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys writing poetry and journaling, there are many thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that can enhance his creativity and passion. Here are a few suggestions that he might appreciate:

1. Quality Writing Journal: Consider getting him a beautifully crafted and durable journal that he can use to jot down his thoughts, ideas, and poetry. Look for one with a cover and paper that speaks to his personal style or interests, such as a leather-bound journal or one with a design related to his favorite hobby or book.

2. Fountain Pen: A high-quality fountain pen can bring an extra touch of elegance and inspiration to his writing. Look for a pen that writes smoothly and comfortably for long periods. Personalize it by engraving his initials or a short message on the pen to make it more special.

3. Writing Prompts Book: Help him explore new ideas and spark his creativity with a book of writing prompts specifically designed for poets. These prompts can challenge him to think outside the box and come up with unique poems that he wouldn't have thought of otherwise.

4. Poetry Collection: Inspire your son by gifting him a collection of poetry from renowned poets or a book from his favorite poet. This way, he can immerse himself in the works of great writers, learn from their styles, and discover new approaches to his own craft.

5. Poetry Workshop or Class: Enroll him in a local poetry workshop or writing class. This gift will not only allow him to improve his skills but also provide him with a supportive community of fellow writers. Alternatively, you can look for online poetry courses that he can complete at his own pace.

6. Portable Typewriter: If your son enjoys the nostalgia and authenticity of writing on a typewriter, consider gifting him a portable one. This unique and practical gift will allow him to tap into a different writing experience while preserving the old-world charm.

7. Custom-made Writer's Bookshelf: Consider commissioning a local artisan or carpenter to build a beautiful and personalized writer's bookshelf for your son. The shelves can be specifically designed to hold his journals, poetry collections, and other writing inspiration. This bespoke gift will not only be functional but also a unique decorative piece for his personal space.

Remember, the most valuable gift is often the one that shows you know and support your son's passions. By choosing a gift that encourages his love for writing and poetry, you're not only acknowledging his interests but also empowering him to continue expressing himself through his art.

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.”
