Five Star Gift Ideas

If your friend loves handwritten things, there are plenty of thoughtful gift ideas you can explore to make them feel extra special this holiday season.

1. Personalized Stationery: Consider gifting your friend a set of personalized stationery or embossed note cards. This is a great chance for them to put their penmanship skills to work and add a personal touch to their handwritten notes or letters. Places like Etsy or Minted offer plenty of options to choose from with varying styles and colors.

2. Calligraphy Set: If your friend is interested in advancing their handwriting skills, they might appreciate a calligraphy set or a hand lettering guide. These sets often include pens, inks and instructional materials to help them master different styles of handwriting.

3. Handwriting Practice Books: If your friend is a beginner when it comes to handwriting, then consider gifting them handwriting practice books such as "The Art of Cursive Handwriting: A Self-Teaching Workbook" or "Handwriting Improvement: The Complete Step-by-Step Guide".

4. Personalized Mug: If your friend enjoys sipping on tea or coffee while they write, you could consider getting a customized mug with their name or initials on it. They’ll think of you every time they sit down with their handmade notes.

5. Handwritten Note: Finally, there's nothing quite like a loving and heartfelt handwritten note that’s specifically meant for the recipient. Consider taking the time to write your friend a personal message in your own handwriting - this will easily become a cherished keepsake that your friend will treasure for years to come.

Regardless of the gift that you choose, your friend is lucky to have someone like you who is thoughtful and caring enough to try and understand their interests to give them a thoughtful and personal gift this holiday season.

Or you can get her/him a star map with an important date you share.
