Five Star Gift Ideas

How about a calligraphy starter kit for your daughter? It would be a thoughtful and personal gift that supports her existing interest in calligraphy while also encouraging further exploration and development of her skills.

Here are some suggestions for components that could be included in the kit:

1. High-quality Calligraphy Pens: Choose a set of pens that are comfortable to hold and easy to use, such as the popular Pilot Parallel Pen or Brush Pen. These pens offer different nib sizes and can create a variety of calligraphic styles.

2. Ink Bottles: Include a selection of ink bottles in different colors. Water-based inks are a good option for beginners due to their ease of use and cleanup.

3. Calligraphy Practice Sheets: Provide your daughter with worksheets that include lettering guides and practice exercises. These sheets can help her develop a steady hand and learn different calligraphy alphabets.

4. Calligraphy Paper: Consider adding different types of paper suited for calligraphy, such as practice paper with grid lines or smooth and thicker paper for finished projects.

5. Instructional Books or Online Courses: Include a book or access to online course platforms that offer step-by-step instructions and tips for beginners in calligraphy. This will provide her with valuable resources for learning new techniques and expanding her skills.

6. Storage Case: A practical gift idea would be a sturdy and organized storage case specifically designed for calligraphy supplies. This way, she can keep everything neat and easily accessible.

7. Personalized Calligraphy Journal: Consider getting her a beautiful journal where she can practice her calligraphy, experiment with new styles, and document her progress. Personalize it with her name or initials to make it extra special.

8. Inspirational Prints or Posters: Look for prints or posters that feature inspirational quotes or calligraphy artwork. These can serve as both decorative elements in her workspace and motivation for her artistic endeavors.

Overall, this calligraphy starter kit will provide your daughter with the necessary tools, resources, and guidance to further pursue her passion for calligraphy. It captures her interests and shows that you support and encourage her creative pursuits.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
