Five Star Gift Ideas

Printmaking is certainly a unique and artistic medium, which makes it a great starting point for finding a Valentine's Day gift for your girlfriend! Here are some ideas to consider:

1. Customized print: Reach out to a local printmaker or search online for artists who do commissioned prints. You can work with the artist to create a personalized print for your girlfriend, perhaps featuring a special phrase or image that is meaningful to both of you.

2. Printmaking workshop: Depending on where you live, you may be able to find printmaking workshops or classes. Consider signing your girlfriend up for a class, or even signing up for a class together as a fun experience.

3. Printmaking supplies: If your girlfriend loves printmaking, she might enjoy receiving some additional supplies to add to her collection. Look for high-quality, artisanal supplies such as handmade printmaking paper, linoleum blocks for carving, or ink rollers.

4. Prints to hang in her space: Does your girlfriend already have a few favorite printmakers or specific styles of print that she loves? Consider gifting her a few small prints that she can hang in her home or office.

5. Printmaking book: There are many beautiful coffee table-style books about printmaking that feature both historical and contemporary prints. Choose a book that will align with your girlfriend's style preferences, or focus on a specific type of print (such as woodblock printing).

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