Silver Vulcion with 3.8mm Pilot Parallel Pen and Ecoline Watercolor.

My partner has always wanted to get into calligraphy, and her birthday is coming up! I’d love recommendations on pens and what else I should include in a starter bundle for her.

From my research so far, it seems like the Pilot Parallel Pen is a top choice, but I’m not sure which nib size (or colors) to get for a beginner. Should I start with one specific size (like 2.4mm or 3.0mm) or get a multi-pack?

Also, what else is essential for a complete gift set? (e.g., best practice paper/pads, specific inks).

P.S. I’m completely new to this world, so any advice helps!
