Five Star Gift Ideas

If your husband enjoys practicing calligraphy and hand-lettering, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift options that can cater to his interests. Here are a few ideas that would make excellent birthday presents:

1. Calligraphy Set: Enhance your husband's calligraphy and hand-lettering skills with a high-quality calligraphy set. Look for sets that include a variety of nibs, ink colors, and different styles of writing utensils. Additionally, consider getting him a set that comes with practice sheets or a calligraphy book to further hone his skills.

2. Personalized Stationery: Help him showcase his beautiful calligraphy by gifting him personalized stationery. Make it special by including his name or initials, and choose a paper quality that will work well with his preferred mediums. This gift will not only serve as a practical tool but also allow him to showcase his talent when corresponding with others.

3. Calligraphy Workshops or Classes: Enroll your husband in a calligraphy workshop or class. This gift will provide him with the opportunity to learn new techniques and refine his skills in a formal setting. Look for local art schools, community centers, or online platforms that offer calligraphy courses taught by experienced calligraphers.

4. Inspirational Books: Expand his calligraphy knowledge and creativity with inspiring books that showcase different calligraphy styles or provide techniques and tips. Books such as "The ABC of Custom Lettering" by Ivan Castro or "Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy" by Eleanor Winters can serve as valuable resources and sources of inspiration.

5. Handmade Calligraphy Tools: Consider purchasing unique, handmade calligraphy tools for your husband. Look for artisanal pen holders made from materials like wood, bone, or resin. These one-of-a-kind pieces can add a touch of personalization to his practice and make the process of creating even more special.

6. Commissioned Artwork: Surprise him with a commissioned piece of calligraphy or hand-lettering art. Find a talented calligrapher or artist who can create a custom piece based on your husband's preferences. This could be a quote, a poem, or even his favorite phrase. This gift will not only be a visual delight but also a personal and meaningful gesture.

7. Calligraphy Subscription Box: Consider subscribing your husband to a calligraphy subscription box. These boxes typically include new and exciting calligraphy supplies, technique guides, practice sheets, and other related items that will keep him inspired and motivated throughout the year.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your husband that you support and appreciate his passion for calligraphy and hand-lettering. With any of these thoughtful gifts, you can celebrate his artistic talent and provide him with the tools and inspiration to continue growing and creating beautiful lettering pieces.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
