Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for calligraphy, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that can enhance his love for this art form. Consider the following options:

1. Calligraphy Starter Kit: Help your son develop his skills with a high-quality calligraphy starter kit that includes a variety of nibs, ink, parchment paper, and a guidebook. This comprehensive kit will provide him with the necessary tools and resources to explore different calligraphy styles and techniques.

2. Calligraphy Workshop: Treat your son to a calligraphy workshop or class conducted by a professional calligrapher. This practical experience will allow him to learn from an expert, refine his skills, and gain insights into the world of calligraphy. Alternatively, you could gift him an online calligraphy course that he can complete at his own pace.

3. Customized Calligraphy Set: Personalize a calligraphy set for your son by engraving his name or a quote that holds special meaning to him on the pen holder or inkwell. This unique and thoughtful gift will make his calligraphy practice even more special.

4. Fine-quality Calligraphy Pens: Consider gifting your son a set of high-quality calligraphy pens made from premium materials like brass or wood. These pens offer better control and precision, enabling him to create more intricate and detailed calligraphy pieces.

5. Calligraphy Books and Magazines: Build your son's calligraphy library by selecting a few inspiring and educational books on calligraphy techniques, history, and styles. There are also various magazines specifically dedicated to calligraphy that he can subscribe to, keeping him updated with the latest trends and tips in the field.

6. Custom Calligraphy Artwork: Commission a professional calligrapher to create a unique piece of customized calligraphy artwork for your son. It could be a favorite quote, a poem, or his name and its meaning beautifully rendered in calligraphy. This personalized artwork will be a cherished keepsake for him.

7. Calligraphy Paper and Ink: Stock up on high-quality calligraphy paper and ink for your son. Look for handmade or specialty papers that are specifically designed for calligraphy to enhance the visual appeal of his work. Consider different ink colors that can help him experiment and add more variety to his creations.

8. Calligraphy Practice Journal: Gift your son a dedicated calligraphy practice journal where he can document his progress, practice different scripts, and experiment with new techniques. This journal can serve as a source of inspiration and a way to track his growth as a calligrapher over time.

Remember to keep in mind your son's preferences and skill level when selecting a gift. By supporting his passion for calligraphy with thoughtful and practical gifts, you will not only encourage his creative growth but also show him how much you appreciate and believe in his talent.

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.”
