Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who is passionate about calligraphy, I have a few gift ideas that will not only complement her hobby but also enhance her skills. These gifts will provide her with new tools and resources to further explore her love for calligraphy.

1. Calligraphy Starter Kit: Consider gifting her a complete calligraphy set that includes all the essential tools like different nibs, ink, and a pen holder. This starter kit will allow her to experiment with various styles and help her hone her skills.

2. Calligraphy Books and Guides: A calligraphy book or guide will provide your daughter with inspiration and knowledge to develop her technique. Look for books that offer step-by-step instructions, different styles of calligraphy, and practice sheets to help her improve her lettering.

3. Online Calligraphy Course: Enroll her in an online calligraphy course or workshop. This way, she can learn from professional calligraphers and gain valuable insights into advanced techniques. Online classes also offer the convenience of learning at her own pace and accessing course material anytime.

4. Personalized Calligraphy Stationery: A thoughtful gift idea would be personalized stationery with her name beautifully written in calligraphy. This way, she can use it for writing letters or creating her own calligraphy pieces. Look for custom-made notepads, notebooks, or even personalized envelopes.

5. Calligraphy Practice Journal: A dedicated calligraphy practice journal will allow her to practice and track her progress. Look for a journal that has guidelines for different calligraphy styles and space for her to create her own lettering compositions.

6. Calligraphy Ink Set: Level up her ink collection by gifting her a set of high-quality ink bottles in different colors. These vibrant pigments will add a new dimension to her calligraphy projects, and she can experiment with blending different hues.

7. Professional Calligraphy Pen: Surprise her with a top-of-the-line calligraphy pen that is specifically designed for professional lettering. Look for a pen that offers smooth ink flow and a comfortable grip, allowing her to create precise and flawless strokes.

8. Calligraphy Workshops or Retreats: Find local workshops or retreats where she can attend classes and interact with fellow calligraphers. These events provide a creative and inspiring environment for her to improve her skills and connect with a like-minded community.

9. Subscription to Calligraphy Magazines or Journals: Give her the gift of inspiration by subscribing to calligraphy magazines or journals. These publications often feature interviews with renowned calligraphers, tutorials, and showcase beautiful calligraphy artwork.

10. Custom Calligraphy Art Piece: Commission a local calligrapher to create a custom calligraphy art piece that reflects something meaningful to your daughter, such as a favorite quote, a phrase she often uses, or her name. This personalized artwork will serve as a unique reminder of her passion for calligraphy.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your daughter that you support her interests and encourage her creativity. By selecting a gift that aligns with her love for calligraphy, you will undoubtedly make her birthday extra special.

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.”
