Five Star Gift Ideas

For a daughter who has a taste for calligraphy, you have a unique opportunity to gift her something that not only enhances her passion but also helps her improve her artistic skills. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that she is sure to appreciate:

1. Calligraphy Starter Kit: A complete calligraphy starter kit can make a great gift as it includes all the necessary tools she needs to get started. Look for a set that includes pens, ink, different nib sizes, practice sheets, and an instruction manual. This will allow her to experiment and develop her calligraphy skills further.

2. Personalized Calligraphy Artwork: Commission a professional calligrapher to create a personalized calligraphy artwork for your daughter. Consider having her name or a quote that resonates with her beautifully rendered in calligraphy. This will not only showcase her love for calligraphy but also serve as a unique piece of art that she can cherish.

3. Calligraphy Workshop or Classes: Enroll her in a calligraphy workshop or classes to learn from experienced calligraphers in person. It could be a one-day workshop or a short-term course where she can learn different styles and techniques directly from professionals. This will provide her with valuable insights and opportunities to refine her skills.

4. Calligraphy Books: Look for books that provide step-by-step guidance and inspiration for calligraphy enthusiasts. Choose books that cover different styles, lettering techniques, and offer practice sheets to improve her skills. Some popular titles include "The ABC of Custom Lettering" by Ivan Castro and "Modern Calligraphy" by Molly Suber Thorpe.

5. Calligraphy Supplies Subscription: Consider gifting her a subscription to a calligraphy supplies service. With this, she will receive a curated selection of high-quality calligraphy tools, inks, and practice sheets delivered to her doorstep regularly. It's a fantastic way for her to explore new and unique materials and expand her collection.

6. Personalized Calligraphy Stationery: Get her a set of personalized calligraphy stationery, including notecards, envelopes, and letterheads. Having her name or initials beautifully written on these items will allow her to add a personal touch to her correspondence and showcase her calligraphy skills.

7. Local Art Exhibitions or Workshops: Check out any upcoming local art exhibitions or workshops focused on calligraphy or related subject matters. These events not only provide educational and artistic experiences but also offer opportunities for networking with fellow calligraphers and artists.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and effort put into choosing it. By selecting a gift that aligns with her passion for calligraphy, you are not only showing your support but also encouraging her to embrace her artistic journey.

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

Luann Skinner says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I ordered the star map 8 days before my daughter's birthday. It arrived in 7 days just in time for her birthday. Thank you! She loved the star map.”
