Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for calligraphy, why not consider some thoughtful and meaningful gifts that will support his interest and help him further enhance his skills. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Calligraphy Set: Invest in a high-quality calligraphy set that includes different nib sizes, ink cartridges, a pen holder, and other essential tools. This will allow your son to experiment with various techniques and styles.

2. Calligraphy Books: Look for books specifically dedicated to calligraphy, such as "Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy" by Eleanor Winters or "The Calligrapher's Bible" by David Harris. These resources will provide him with inspiration, step-by-step instructions, and tips to improve his calligraphy skills.

3. Online Calligraphy Course: Enroll your son in an online calligraphy course or workshop. Websites like Skillshare or Udemy offer a wide range of calligraphy courses taught by professionals. This will provide him with structured lessons, feedback, and an opportunity to connect with other calligraphers.

4. Customized Calligraphy Supplies: Consider getting your son personalized calligraphy supplies, such as a custom-made pen holder or a case to store his calligraphy tools. You can have his name or initials engraved, giving the gift a unique and special touch.

5. Calligraphy Practice Journal: Purchase a dedicated calligraphy practice journal for your son. This will allow him to practice his strokes, experiment with different lettering styles, and keep track of his progress. Look for a journal that provides guidelines and practice sheets.

6. Calligraphy Workshops or Retreats: Check if there are any local calligraphy workshops or retreats that your son can attend. These events offer an excellent opportunity to learn from experienced calligraphers, network with others who share the same passion, and get firsthand guidance for honing his skills.

7. Inspirational Prints: Showcase your son's love for calligraphy by gifting him with framed inspirational prints or wall art featuring beautiful calligraphy quotes or words. This will not only motivate him but also add a touch of elegance to his workspace or room.

8. Calligraphy Subscription Box: Consider subscribing to a calligraphy-themed monthly subscription box. These boxes typically include a variety of calligraphy supplies, practice sheets, exclusive items, and tips from experts. It's a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your son that you support his passion for calligraphy and believe in his talent. These thoughtful gifts will not only encourage his artistic abilities but also demonstrate your thoughtfulness and support towards his hobbies and interests.

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

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
