Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has found a passion in calligraphy, there are several meaningful and personalized gift ideas that can enhance his skills and show your support for his artistic endeavors.

1. High-quality Calligraphy Set: Consider investing in a premium calligraphy set that includes different types of nibs, ink, and a comfortable grip pen holder. This will allow your son to experiment with a variety of styles and techniques, taking his calligraphy to the next level.

2. Calligraphy Books: Help inspire your son's creativity by gifting him a collection of calligraphy books. Look for publications that offer guidance on different calligraphy styles, lettering techniques, and project ideas. These books can serve as valuable references while he continues to learn and practice his craft.

3. Online Calligraphy Course: Consider enrolling your son in an online calligraphy course or workshop. There are several reputable platforms that offer comprehensive classes taught by experienced calligraphers. This will give him the opportunity to learn from experts, receive personalized feedback, and interact with a community of fellow calligraphy enthusiasts.

4. Personalized Calligraphy Supplies: Elevate his calligraphy experience by customizing his supplies. You can order personalized nibs with his initials engraved or a custom-made pen holder, creating a unique and sentimental touch to his calligraphy journey.

5. Calligraphy Practice Journal: Providing your son with a dedicated calligraphy practice journal will enable him to track his progress, experiment with different lettering styles, and jot down ideas. Look for a journal with high-quality paper that can withstand different inks and provide a smooth writing surface.

6. Art Print or Customized Quote: Consider ordering a calligraphy art print with a meaningful quote or a word that resonates with your son. Alternatively, commission a calligrapher to create a personalized piece incorporating a phrase or mantra that is significant to him. This thoughtful gift will not only showcase his love for calligraphy but also serve as a source of inspiration to keep pushing his artistic boundaries.

7. Gift Card to an Art Supply Store: Sometimes the best gift is the freedom to choose for oneself. A gift card to an art supply store will allow your son to explore and select the specific calligraphy tools or materials he desires, ensuring that he can continue to nurture his passion in his own unique way.

Remember to wrap the gift in a creative and personalized way, perhaps using calligraphy-inspired wrapping paper or adding a heartfelt note expressing your pride and support for his calligraphy journey.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
