Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for calligraphy, you could consider several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that will not only enhance his artistic skills but also show your support for his interest. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Calligraphy Starter Kit: Look for a complete calligraphy set that includes different types of pens, nibs, ink, and practice sheets. This will give him the opportunity to experiment with different styles and techniques, and provide everything he needs to develop his skills further.

2. Calligraphy Books: Consider purchasing a few instructional books on calligraphy to inspire and guide your son in his artistic journey. Look for books that cover different styles and provide step-by-step instructions, exercises, and examples to help him expand his knowledge and expertise.

3. Personalized Calligraphy Supplies: Make the gift unique by personalizing his tools. For example, you could have his name engraved on a custom-made calligraphy pen or order custom nibs with his initials. These personalized items will not only make his calligraphy experience more special but also show your thoughtfulness and support.

4. Workshop or Class: Look for calligraphy workshops or classes in your area and enroll your son in one as a Christmas gift. This will give him the opportunity to learn from experienced calligraphers, interact with other enthusiasts, and further refine his skills. Attending a workshop can also be a great way for him to gain new insights and techniques, and foster a sense of community within the calligraphy field.

5. Art Supplies Subscription: Consider signing your son up for a calligraphy-focused art supplies subscription service. These services typically deliver a curated selection of high-quality calligraphy tools and materials to his doorstep on a monthly or quarterly basis. Not only will this expose him to new and exciting materials, but it also ensures that he always has fresh supplies to work with.

6. Art Prints or Customized Stationery: Support your son's love for calligraphy by selecting unique and beautiful art prints featuring calligraphy quotes or designs. Alternatively, you could have custom stationery or note cards made with his own calligraphy work, allowing him to showcase his talent and share his creations with others.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your support and encouragement for your son's interest in calligraphy. By choosing a gift that aligns with his passion, you are not only recognizing his talent but also nurturing his artistic growth and development.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“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.”
