Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who enjoys learning and practicing calligraphy, I have a few thoughtful gift ideas that could perfectly complement her passion and make her feel cherished on her birthday.

1. Calligraphy Set: A high-quality calligraphy set would make a perfect gift for your mom. Look for a set that includes a variety of calligraphy pens, nibs, ink, and paper. This would allow her to experiment with different styles and techniques and enhance her calligraphy skills.

2. Calligraphy Books: Consider getting your mom some inspiring calligraphy books that offer guidance and examples of different calligraphy styles. Books like "The Art of Calligraphy: A Practical Guide for Beginners" or "Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy: A Step-by-Step Manual" can provide her with valuable techniques, tips, and inspiration.

3. Calligraphy Online Course: If your mom is interested in expanding her calligraphy skills, consider gifting her an online calligraphy course. Many renowned calligraphers offer detailed courses that can be accessed from the comfort of her own home. This would allow her to learn at her own pace and benefit from expert guidance.

4. Personalized Calligraphy Art: Hire a calligrapher to create a custom piece of art specifically for your mom. It could be a quote that holds special meaning to her or even her name beautifully calligraphed. This personalized art piece will not only showcase her love for calligraphy but also serve as a reminder of your love and thoughtfulness.

5. Calligraphy Workshops/Classes: Research and find local calligraphy workshops or classes that your mom can attend. This will not only provide her with the opportunity to enhance her skills but also lets her connect with other calligraphy enthusiasts. Enroll her in a workshop or buy her a class pass so she can choose the ones that interest her the most.

6. Handmade Calligraphy Stationery: Consider finding or creating handmade calligraphy stationery for your mom. This could include personalized letterheads, envelopes, or even a calligraphy pen holder. These thoughtful touches will not only inspire creativity but also make her calligraphy practice more enjoyable.

7. Calligraphy Subscription Box: Subscription boxes are a trendy gift option, and luckily, there are calligraphy-centric subscription boxes available. These boxes typically include various calligraphy supplies and materials, such as pens, ink, paper, and practice sheets. With a monthly delivery, your mom will have a continuous supply of new and exciting materials to fuel her calligraphy passion.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that demonstrates your understanding and support for your mom's interests and passions. Consider her preferences and needs, and choose a gift that aligns with her calligraphy journey.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
