26 Great Gifts for Calligraphers

Whether you’re shopping for a calligrapher in your life or treating yourself, I’ve compiled 26 gift ideas that any lettering artist will love. This list spans a number of categories and price points, from handmade pen holders to perfumed ink, customizable wax seals to online learning subscriptions.

I’ve chosen art supplies and calligraphy tools that are well-loved and popular, but that aren’t strictly necessary to a lettering artist’s toolkit. But that’s one thing gifts are perfect for—fulfilling a want, not a need.

Please note that I earn small commissions for purchases made through some of the links in this post, the proceeds of which help me to continue producing free content for my blog and free practice sheet library.

 


If you found this post useful, consider sharing it. That’s the best, free way to support artists and authors you appreciate.

She writes about calligraphy and handwriting as creative disciplines—shaped by tools, technique, habit, and attention—and considers what it means to write by hand in a digital age. In addition to designing custom lettering for clients, she creates books, free resources, and online classes for people who want to develop their calligraphy and handwriting, whether as a creative outlet, a professional skill, or both.
