Five Star Gift Ideas

For your girlfriend who loves hand lettering and brush calligraphy, you can surprise her with a thoughtful Valentine's Day gift that celebrates her passion for this creative art form. Here are some meaningful and personalized gift ideas:

1. Calligraphy Set: Upgrade her calligraphy tools with a high-quality calligraphy set. Look for a set that includes different types of brush pens, nibs, ink bottles, and paper. This will provide her with more options and inspire her to explore new techniques.

2. Customized Calligraphy Artwork: Commission a custom calligraphy artwork specifically designed for her. You can choose a meaningful quote, a line from her favorite poem, or a unique message that holds significance for the two of you. It could be something like "Our Love is Like Beautiful Calligraphy – Unique and Timeless."

3. Handmade Calligraphy Notebook: Get her a beautiful, handmade notebook exclusively made for calligraphy. Look for one with thick, smooth paper that won't bleed through or smudge the ink. You can also personalize the cover of the notebook with her name or a special message.

4. Skill-Building Workshop or Class: Surprise her by signing her up for a calligraphy workshop or class. Whether it's an in-person class or an online workshop, this gift will provide her with an opportunity to learn new techniques, refine her skills, and connect with other calligraphy enthusiasts.

5. Calligraphy Books: Expand her artistic horizons by gifting her books on calligraphy and hand lettering. Look for renowned authors like Molly Suber Thorpe, Renowned graphic designer Jessica Hische, or Jen Wagner Co. These books will not only provide inspiration but also offer practical tips and exercises to enhance her skills.

6. Vinyl Lettering for Her Workspace: Personalize her workspace with vinyl lettering that displays an encouraging quote or her favorite calligraphy phrase. It not only adds a stylish touch but also motivates and inspires her during her creative process.

7. Calligraphy Jewelry: Consider a piece of jewelry that incorporates calligraphy. Look for necklaces, bracelets, or rings that feature calligraphy-inspired designs, such as pendants with her initials or a word that holds special meaning for both of you.

8. Subscription to a Calligraphy Magazine: Keep her inspired and up-to-date by gifting her a subscription to a calligraphy magazine. This will provide her with new ideas, tutorials, and insights from experienced calligraphers.

Remember, the key to a meaningful gift is to show that you have considered her interests and passion. By choosing a gift that celebrates her love for hand lettering and brush calligraphy, you are not only acknowledging her talents but also encouraging her to continue pursuing her artistic endeavors.

Or you can get her a star map with the date of your first kiss.
