1. Calligraphy Starter Kit: Help your friend take their calligraphy skills to the next level by gifting them a complete calligraphy starter kit. Look for a set that includes different calligraphy pens, nibs, ink, practice sheets, and a guidebook. This will enable them to explore new techniques and practice their handwriting with various tools.

2. Personalized Calligraphy Set: Consider gifting your friend a personalized calligraphy set with their name or initials engraved on the pen or pen holder. This would not only make the gift more special and unique but also motivate them to continue to develop their skills.

3. Hand Lettering Book: There are several books available that focus on the art of hand lettering and calligraphy. Look for a book that provides step-by-step instructions, exercises, and examples to help your friend improve their lettering skills. Some popular options include "The Complete Book of Chalk Lettering" by Valerie McKeehan and "The ABC of Custom Lettering" by Ivan Castro.

4. Calligraphy Workshop or Class: Consider gifting your friend a voucher or registration to a calligraphy workshop or class in their local area. This would provide an opportunity for them to learn from experienced calligraphers, improve their techniques, and meet other like-minded individuals who share the same passion.

5. Custom Calligraphy Print: Find a meaningful quote or phrase that resonates with your friend and have it beautifully hand-lettered by a calligrapher. You can then have the custom calligraphy print framed and gifted to your friend. This personalized artwork will inspire and motivate them to continue honing their craft.

6. Premium Writing Instruments: High-quality writing instruments, such as fountain pens or brush pens, can be an excellent gift for a calligraphy enthusiast. Look for pens that have flexible nibs and are designed specifically for calligraphy purposes.
