Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who is passionate about calligraphy and hand lettering, there are numerous gift options that would truly resonate with their interests and make for a meaningful wedding present. Here are a few ideas to help you find the perfect gift:

1. Calligraphy Starter Kit: Consider putting together a calligraphy starter kit that includes high-quality calligraphy pens, different nib sizes, ink bottles in various colors, practice sheets, and a guidebook. This comprehensive set will not only inspire your friend to further explore their passion but also provide them with the necessary tools to enhance their skills.

2. Personalized Calligraphy Art: Commission a skilled calligrapher to create a custom piece of art with a special message or quote for the newlyweds. This thoughtful and personalized gift will serve as a cherished reminder of their wedding day and their shared love for calligraphy.

3. Calligraphy Workshop: Search for local calligraphy workshops or online courses and gift your friend a ticket or subscription. By attending these classes, your friend will have the opportunity to refine their calligraphy skills, learn new techniques, and connect with other passionate calligraphers. This experience will not only deepen their love for the art form but also introduce them to a supportive community.

4. Lettering Books: Look for popular books on calligraphy and hand lettering that offer step-by-step instructions, practice exercises, and practical tips. Books like "The Complete Book of Chalk Lettering" by Valerie McKeehan or "Modern Calligraphy Workshop" by Imogen Owen can provide your friend with new inspiration, techniques, and guidance to further develop their lettering skills.

5. Custom Calligraphy Set: Seek out small businesses or independent calligraphers who offer custom-made calligraphy sets. These sets often include personalized name cards, wax seals, custom-made ink colors, and other unique accessories that your friend can use to add a personal touch to their lettering projects.

6. Calligraphy Art Supplies Subscription: Consider gifting your friend with a subscription to a monthly calligraphy art supplies box. These subscription services offer carefully selected calligraphy tools, specialty papers, inks, and other accessories that will keep your friend engaged and excited about their craft throughout the year.

7. Handmade Calligraphy Journal: Purchase a handmade journal with calligraphy-friendly paper for your friend to practice their lettering. Alternatively, you can personalize a plain journal by embossing their name or a meaningful quote on the cover, creating a truly unique gift that showcases their passion.

Remember, the most important aspect is to pay attention to their specific interests in calligraphy and hand lettering. By choosing a gift that aligns with their passion, you are showing your support and encouragement for their creative journey.

Or you can get her/him a star map with the date of the wedding.
