Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband's birthday, a thoughtful and meaningful gift would be to support his passion for hand lettering and brush calligraphy. Here are a few ideas that would surely make him feel appreciated and encouraged in his artistic pursuits:

1. High-Quality Calligraphy Set: A well-crafted calligraphy set with various brush sizes, ink, and paper would be an excellent gift. Look for sets that include different types of brushes, from round to flat, to allow your husband to experiment and explore various lettering styles.

2. Calligraphy Workshop or Course: Consider enrolling your husband in a calligraphy workshop or online course. This would provide him with new techniques, guidance from professionals, and the opportunity to connect with fellow artists. The experience would not only enhance his skills but also give him the chance to explore his passion further.

3. Personalized Leather Journal: A beautiful leather journal engraved with your husband's initials or his favorite quote would not only serve as a practical gift but also inspire him to practice his hand lettering. He can use it to jot down ideas, practice new lettering styles, or even create his own calligraphy portfolio.

4. Inspiring Books: There are many books available that showcase the artistry and techniques of hand lettering and calligraphy. Look for books that offer step-by-step tutorials, inspiring lettering styles, and tips from accomplished calligraphers. "The Complete Book of Calligraphy & Lettering" by Cari Ferraro and "The ABCs of Hand Lettering" by Abbey Sy are popular choices.

5. Calligraphy Subscription Box: Consider a subscription box specifically curated for calligraphy enthusiasts. These subscription services typically provide a monthly delivery of new brushes, inks, papers, and instructional materials. It's a great way for your husband to receive fresh supplies regularly and discover new and exciting products.

6. Custom Artwork or Personalized Stationery: Commission a custom artwork piece or personalized stationery that highlights your husband's favorite quote, a romantic message, or even his name in a beautifully hand-lettered style. This unique and personal gift would showcase his skills and provide him with a lovely keepsake.

Remember, the most important aspect of your gift is the thought and appreciation behind it. Showing your support for your husband's passion for hand lettering and brush calligraphy will undoubtedly make his birthday extra special and encourage him to continue pursuing his artistic endeavors.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
