Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves writing calligraphy, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that you can consider.

1. Calligraphy Set: Improving skills and techniques is essential for any calligrapher. Look for a high-quality calligraphy set that includes different types of pens, nibs, and inks. Opt for one with a variety of nib sizes to allow your son to experiment and create different styles of calligraphy.

2. Personalized Calligraphy Journal: Help your son document his progress and practice his skills by gifting him a personalized calligraphy journal. You can have his name or initials engraved on the cover to make it even more special. This will not only serve as a useful tool for him but also as a keepsake for his journey as a calligrapher.

3. Calligraphy Workshops or Classes: Encourage your son's passion by enrolling him in calligraphy workshops or classes. This will provide him with an opportunity to learn new techniques, meet other calligraphers, and further develop his skills. Look for local workshops or online courses that align with his interests and availability.

4. Inspiring Books: Consider gifting your son books that showcase the art and history of calligraphy. Look for titles like "The Calligrapher's Bible" by David Harris or "Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy" by Eleanor Winters. These books can serve as a source of inspiration and knowledge to help him expand his understanding of calligraphy.

5. Calligraphy Art Supplies: Supplement your son's calligraphy set with additional art supplies. You can gift him high-quality papers, different types of inks and pigments, brush pens, or even a light table for tracing and transferring designs. These supplies will allow him to experiment with a variety of techniques and enhance his creativity.

6. Personalized Calligraphy Artwork: Commission a special piece of calligraphy artwork for your son. You can ask a professional calligrapher to create a unique design of his favorite quote, his name, or a meaningful message. This thoughtful gift will not only show your appreciation for his passion but also provide him with a beautiful and inspiring piece to display.

7. Calligraphy Desk Organizer: Help your son keep his calligraphy tools organized by gifting him a dedicated desk organizer. Look for one that has separate compartments to store his pens, nibs, inks, rulers, and brushes. A well-organized workspace will not only make his practice sessions more efficient but also add a touch of professionalism to his craft.

Remember to consider your son's skill level, preferences, and needs when selecting a gift. By choosing something that aligns with his passion for calligraphy, you are not only encouraging his creativity but also showing your support for his hobby.

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.”
