That's wonderful to hear that your grandson is interested in learning calligraphy! It's a timeless art form that requires patience, practice, and creativity. With that in mind, there are several meaningful and personalized gifts you could consider for him this Christmas:

1. Calligraphy Starter Kit: Look for a high-quality calligraphy starter kit that includes different pen holders, nibs, ink, and practice sheets. This will provide all the essential tools he needs to get started on his calligraphy journey.

2. Online Calligraphy Course: Consider gifting him an online calligraphy course or workshops where he can learn from professional calligraphers. There are various platforms that offer beginner-friendly courses with tutorials, guidance, and feedback. This gift not only provides him with educational resources but also allows him to learn at his own pace.

3. Custom Calligraphy Set: Go the extra mile by getting a calligraphy set customized just for him. You can have his name or a meaningful quote engraved on the pen holder or even on the nib itself. This personalized touch will make it a cherished gift that he can keep as a reminder of his passion for calligraphy.

4. Inspirational Calligraphy Books: Books can be a great source of inspiration and learning for calligraphy enthusiasts. Look for books with step-by-step guidance, beautiful examples of calligraphy, and tips and tricks to help him improve his skills. You can also opt for books that showcase the history and different styles of calligraphy from around the world.

5. Calligraphy Art Supplies: Aside from the basics, consider gifting him additional calligraphy supplies like different colored inks, metallic pens, or specialty papers. This allows him to experiment with various mediums and create beautiful art pieces.

6. Calligraphy Practice Journal: Help him stay organized and motivated by gifting him a calligraphy practice journal. This journal can have dedicated pages for alphabets, word formations, and even blank pages for him to try out new styles. It will not only serve as a way to monitor his progress but also give him a place to express his creativity.

7. Subscription to a Calligraphy Magazine or Newsletter: Keep his interest in calligraphy alive throughout the year by subscribing him to a calligraphy magazine or newsletter. These publications often feature tutorials, interviews with calligraphy artists, and updates on all things calligraphy-related. It's a gift that keeps on giving, providing him with fresh inspiration and knowledge.
