Five Star Gift Ideas

I have the perfect gift idea for your calligraffiti-loving grandson! How about a calligraphy starter kit? This will not only encourage his passion for calligraffiti but also provide him with the tools and resources to take his skills to the next level.

Here's what you can include in the calligraphy starter kit:

1. Calligraphy Pens: Look for a set of high-quality calligraphy pens with different nib sizes. These pens will allow your grandson to experiment with various styles and create different effects in his artwork.

2. Calligraphy Inks: Include a variety of colored inks, such as black, gold, silver, and different shades of his favorite colors. This will give him the freedom to add depth and creativity to his calligraphy pieces.

3. Calligraphy Paper: Choose a selection of high-quality calligraphy paper in various sizes. Opt for thicker paper that can handle ink without bleeding through. This will enable him to practice his technique and create stunning artworks that can be framed and displayed.

4. Calligraphy Instruction Books: Look for instructional books that focus on calligraphy techniques and styles. These books will not only provide guidance but also serve as a source of inspiration. Consider selecting books that specifically cater to calligraffiti or combine calligraphy with modern art elements.

5. Practice Worksheets: Include a set of calligraphy practice worksheets. These sheets will provide your grandson with guided practice and help him improve his lettering skills. Look for worksheets that include different alphabets, words, and phrases, allowing him to explore different lettering styles.

6. Calligraphy Brushes: Add a few calligraphy brushes to the kit, as they are commonly used in calligraffiti to create bold and expressive strokes. Different brush sizes will give your grandson the option to experiment with various line thicknesses and textures.

7. Sketchbook: Include a sketchbook for your grandson to doodle, brainstorm ideas, and experiment with his calligraffiti. This will encourage him to explore his creativity and develop his unique style.

8. Art Supplies Organizer: To keep everything organized, consider adding a small art supplies organizer or a calligraphy tool roll. This will ensure that all his materials are easily accessible and prevent any items from getting lost.

9. Online Calligraphy Course: If your grandson is interested in furthering his skills, consider gifting him an online calligraphy course. This will provide him with professional guidance, tips, and techniques from experienced calligraphers.

Ultimately, this calligraphy starter kit will not only be a thoughtful gift but also a means for your grandson to pursue his passion for calligraffiti. It will provide endless hours of creative joy and allow him to develop his skills further, making his Christmas extra special.

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