Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for hand lettering and brush calligraphy, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider. These gifts will not only enhance his skills but also show your support for his artistic pursuits. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Calligraphy Starter Kit: Look for a high-quality calligraphy starter kit that includes different types of pens, brushes, ink, and practice paper. This will allow your son to experiment with different tools and techniques, helping him further develop his skills.

2. Hand Lettering Books: Consider gifting him a collection of hand lettering and brush calligraphy books written by renowned calligraphers. These books often include step-by-step instructions, practice exercises, and inspiring examples that will help him expand his repertoire and refine his techniques.

3. Online Calligraphy Course: Enroll your son in an online calligraphy course that offers a structured curriculum and professional guidance. This will provide him with access to expert instruction and feedback, helping him progress in his artistic journey.

4. Personalized Calligraphy Supplies: Customizing his calligraphy supplies will add a personal touch to his artistic experience. Consider getting him a custom-made pen or a set of brushes with his name or initials engraved on them. This will make his tools even more special and unique.

5. Calligraphy Workshops or Classes: Look for local calligraphy workshops or classes that your son can attend to learn from experienced calligraphers in person. This can provide him with valuable hands-on learning opportunities and the chance to connect with other aspiring calligraphers.

6. Artistic Retreat or Trip: If your budget allows, consider surprising your son with a calligraphy-centric retreat or a visit to a city known for its calligraphy heritage. This will not only expose him to different calligraphy styles and traditions but also provide him with a chance to meet other artists and gain inspiration.

7. Personalized Portfolio or Sketchbook: Get a personalized portfolio or sketchbook featuring his name or a design related to calligraphy. This will allow your son to showcase his work and keep his creations organized, making it easier for him to share his progress and talent with others.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your son that you support and encourage his passion for hand lettering and brush calligraphy. By giving thoughtful and personalized gifts that align with his interests, you not only acknowledge his talent but also empower him to pursue his artistic dreams.

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.”
