Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for calligraphy and handwriting, there are plenty of thoughtful and meaningful gift options available to foster his interest and enhance his creativity. Here are some ideas to consider:

1. Calligraphy Set: Gift him a high-quality calligraphy set that includes different nib sizes, ink, and paper. This will allow him to practice and experiment with various calligraphy styles. You can also opt for a set that comes with a guidebook or instructional videos to enhance his learning experience.

2. Handmade Leather Journal: Combine his love for handwriting and calligraphy with a beautiful handmade leather journal. Not only will he have a place to practice his skills, but he can also use it as a personal diary or sketchbook. Consider having his initials or name engraved on the cover to add a personal touch.

3. Calligraphy Workshop or Course: Enroll him in a calligraphy workshop or course where he can learn from experienced calligraphers and improve his skills. This can be a valuable opportunity for him to learn new techniques, meet fellow enthusiasts, and expand his knowledge.

4. Personalized Stationery: Encourage his love for handwriting by gifting him personalized stationery. Design custom-made letterheads, envelopes, or notepads with his name or monogram. This will allow him to showcase his style and add a personal touch to his correspondence.

5. Inspiring Calligraphy Books: There are numerous books available that provide step-by-step guides, practice sheets, and inspiration for calligraphers of all levels. Consider gifting him a few notable calligraphy books that showcase different styles, historical scripts, or famous calligraphers' works.

6. Calligraphy Subscription Box: Surprise your son with a calligraphy subscription box that delivers new tools, inks, and lettering supplies to his doorstep every month. This gift will keep his passion alive and introduce him to new materials and techniques regularly.

7. Handmade Ink Bottles: If he enjoys experimenting with different ink colors, gift him a set of handmade ink bottles. Look for unique and vibrant colors that will add an artistic flair to his calligraphy projects.

8. Personalized Calligraphy Artwork: Commission a personalized calligraphy artwork piece for him, perhaps his favorite quote or a heartfelt message. This will not only showcase his love for calligraphy but also serve as a beautiful and meaningful decorative piece for his room.

9. Calligraphy Apps and Software: Consider gifting him a subscription to a calligraphy app or software that allows him to practice calligraphy digitally. These programs often come with various tools, brushes, and tutorials to improve his skills and explore different digital calligraphy styles.

10. Calligraphy Supplies Organizer: Help him keep his calligraphy supplies organized by gifting him a dedicated storage solution, such as a calligraphy supply organizer or case. This will ensure that his materials remain in excellent condition and will end the struggle of searching for specific pens or nibs.

Remember, the best gift is one that reflects his passion and shows your support for his interests. By selecting a thoughtful and personalized gift related to calligraphy and handwriting, you'll be nurturing his creativity and providing a meaningful present that he will cherish for years to come.

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.”
