Five Star Gift Ideas

When it comes to finding gifts for loved ones, personalization really is key to making it both thoughtful and meaningful. With that being said, if your grandma is really into letterpress printing, there’s a lot of options available for you to consider!

First of all, if you haven’t yet, you could take the time to explore her interest in letterpress printing more deeply. Try to learn a bit about what techniques she prefers, what kind of pieces she’s created in the past, what her favorite resources are, etc. This information will greatly influence the kind of gift you ultimately end up getting for her.

One idea to consider is a subscription to a letterpress magazine or design publication. This would give her access to fresh ideas, new artists, and could introduce her to the latest techniques and technology in the industry. This would be especially great to keep her inspired and motivated to keep creating.

If your grandma is more hands-off, and wants to explore letterpress without actually doing it herself, you could get her a starter kit so that she can begin to experiment with it. This could include things like letterpress ink, stamps, print blocks or even a mini printing press. It's important to make sure that the package includes detailed instructions or a guidebook to help her along the way.

Another option is to incorporate letterpress prints into her everyday life with a customizable planner or stationary. This way she can enjoy the beauty of letterpress printing on a day-to-day basis. Look for options that have blank pages or a plain cover, as you can always customize it with her name, initials, or monogram on the front.

For a more sentimental gift, you could reach out to a local letterpress printer to get a custom piece made for her. This could be a print, a stationery set or even a custom framed piece that incorporates meaningful memories such as a favorite quote or quote, or even a portrait of her with her loved ones.

No matter what type of letterpress gift you choose in the end, your grandmother will no doubt appreciate the thought and consideration you put into selecting a gift that specifically speaks to her interests!

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