Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who enjoys calligraphy and typography, I have some fantastic gift ideas that will allow her to explore her passion while honing her skills. These presents will not only be meaningful but also inspire her creativity and set her up for a fulfilling journey into the world of this beautiful art form.

1. Calligraphy Starter Kit: Consider gifting her a complete calligraphy starter kit that includes a variety of pens, nibs, different ink colors, and quality paper. This way, she can experiment with different styles and techniques, allowing her to take her calligraphy skills to the next level. Look for kits that come with instructional books or online courses for her to learn from.

2. Quality Calligraphy Pens: Invest in a set of high-quality calligraphy pens that will enhance her writing experience. Look for pens with different nib sizes, such as broad and pointed, to give her a wider range of options to work with. Additionally, consider gifting her a personalized pen holder or a custom-made pen engraved with her name or initial.

3. Instructional Books: There are numerous books available that provide detailed instructions, tips, and inspiration for calligraphy and typography enthusiasts. Look for books authored by renowned calligraphers or typographers that offer step-by-step guidance and showcase various styles. These books will serve as valuable resources for her ongoing learning and development in this art form.

4. Calligraphy Workshops or Classes: Enroll her in a calligraphy workshop or class conducted by a professional calligrapher or a local art center. This hands-on experience will not only enrich her understanding of calligraphy but will also provide an opportunity for her to interact with like-minded individuals and expand her network within the calligraphy community.

5. Subscription to a Calligraphy Magazine or Online Course: Sign her up for a subscription to a calligraphy magazine or an online course that delivers regular updates, inspiration, and tutorials straight to her inbox. This will allow her to stay up-to-date with the latest trends, learn new techniques, and gain exposure to diverse calligraphy styles from around the world.

6. Personalized Calligraphy Set: Create a personalized calligraphy set for her by selecting her favorite colors, fonts, or patterns. You can personalize the ink color, pen holder, or even the paper with her name or a meaningful quote. This thoughtful gift will show your granddaughter that you support and encourage her artistic journey.

7. Inspiring Art Prints: Look for art prints featuring beautiful calligraphy or typographic designs that she can display in her room or workspace. These prints can serve as a source of inspiration and motivation for her creative endeavors. Choose quotes or sayings that resonate with her or reflect her personality and aspirations.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that supports her passion and allows her to continue exploring and growing in calligraphy and typography. Your thoughtful gesture will not only make her birthday memorable but will also reinforce your belief in her talents and encourage her artistic pursuits.

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.”
