Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who has a passion for calligraphy, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift options that would enhance his love for this art form. Here are a few suggestions that would make great Christmas gifts:

1. High-Quality Calligraphy Set: Invest in a premium calligraphy set that includes different types of nibs, ink, a pen holder, and a practice pad. Look for a set with a variety of nib sizes to allow your son to experiment with different styles and techniques.

2. Calligraphy Books: Gift your son a collection of calligraphy books from renowned calligraphers. Books like "The Art of Calligraphy: A Practical Guide to the Skills and Techniques" by David Harris or "The Calligraphy Bible: A Complete Guide to More than 100 Essential Projects and Techniques" by Maryanne Grebenstein would provide him with inspiration and guidance to further develop his skills.

3. Subscription to Calligraphy Workshops: Consider gifting your son a subscription to an online calligraphy workshop or course. This would allow him to learn new techniques, receive personalized feedback, and connect with other calligraphy enthusiasts from around the world.

4. Customized Calligraphy Tool Organizer: Help your son keep his calligraphy tools organized with a personalized calligraphy tool organizer. You can have his name or a motivational quote engraved on it to add a personal touch.

5. Calligraphy Practice Journal: Purchase a beautiful calligraphy practice journal specifically designed for practicing various calligraphy scripts. Look for one that has guidelines and exercises to assist your son in perfecting his strokes and letterforms.

6. Personalized Calligraphy Artwork: Commission a local calligrapher to create a personalized calligraphy artwork piece for your son. This could be a quote or phrase that holds special meaning to him or a piece displaying his name in an artistic calligraphy script. This would be a unique and truly personal gift that he can cherish for years to come.

7. Calligraphy Workstation: Help your son set up a dedicated calligraphy workspace by gifting him a calligraphy workstation. This can include a comfortable desk chair, a specialized light source, a slant board, and storage compartments for his calligraphy tools. This gift would create the perfect environment for him to practice and immerse himself in his passion.

Remember, the most important aspect of giving a gift is to show your thoughtfulness and support for your son's love of calligraphy. Gauging his specific interests and needs in this art form will ensure that the gift you choose will be both meaningful and personal.

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.”
