1. Calligraphy Kit: Help your grandpa enhance his calligraphy skills by gifting him a complete calligraphy set. Look for a high-quality kit that includes different pen nibs, ink, practice sheets, and guides. This will allow him to explore various styles and techniques of calligraphy.

2. Typography Books: Add to your grandpa's collection of knowledge by gifting him books on typography. Look for books that delve into the history, principles, and techniques of typography, such as "The Elements of Typographic Style" by Robert Bringhurst or "Thinking with Type" by Ellen Lupton. These resources will inspire and educate him further.

3. Customized Calligraphy Pen: Consider getting a calligraphy pen specially made for your grandpa. Look for options that can be personalized with his name or initials engraved on it. This will make the gift even more meaningful and shows that you've put thought into it.

4. Handmade Calligraphy Artwork: Commission a piece of calligraphy artwork for your grandpa. Find a talented calligrapher who can create a custom piece with a meaningful quote, his name, or any other phrase that holds significance to him. This personalized artwork can be framed and displayed, reminding him of your thoughtful gift.

5. Calligraphy Workshops or Classes: Enroll your grandpa in a calligraphy workshop or class. This will provide him with the opportunity to learn new techniques, meet other calligraphy enthusiasts, and further his skills. Look for workshops or classes in your area or even online, as there are several virtual options available.

6. Typographic Wall Art: Find a beautiful typographic print or wall decal that features a meaningful quote or saying. Look for minimalist designs or vintage-inspired typography that aligns with your grandpa's preferences. This artwork can be hung up in his workspace or any other room, adding a touch of inspiration and creativity to his environment.

7. Calligraphy Stationery Set: Help your grandpa display his calligraphy skills by gifting him a personalized stationery set.
