Who doesn’t like presents? I don’t think you could find a single person in the world who doesn’t appreciate receiving a nice and thoughtful gift. What’s interesting is that giving presents can be as exciting as getting them. The difficult part, however, is choosing a gift that will make the recipient truly happy.
If you are looking for gifts for an artist friend that are connected to what they do, your first stop would logically be in an art supplies shop. Any artist will be delighted to receive cool art supplies. If you have no idea what they need or how to select the appropriate brushes, palettes, and other things you see for the first time in life, shop assistants will always be happy to come to your rescue.
However, if you are still unsure about this option, fear not, you still have tons of other choices. Art gifts don’t necessarily have to be about work and tools. Think of what your friend likes the most. For example, if they like original jewelry, a necklace in the form of a palette or brush earrings are perfect gifts for painters. And of course, there always are coffee mugs of interesting shapes, plants in pots decorated with their favorite paintings, and many more creative gifts.
We have collected some gift ideas for artists to help you choose a gift if you are having a hard time deciding what to give them. And don’t forget, the best gifts for artists, just as for anybody else, are the ones that were made with love.

They’re cool, but I don’t prefer drawing on them as they have a very weird texture.

This is cute!! But I think I wouldn't use them because the paints can't be replaced.

Vincent Van Gogh Ear Pin

Wouldn't it just look like you have an ear on whatever you pin it to? How would you know it's Vincent Van Gogh's?

I think art supplies are like books. I like choosing my own. I really hate it when someone gives me a book because they liked it and I'm a professional reader. I prefer to choose my own. Like someone else said, I wouldn't like the jewelry or the linens. But I did like certain things and found some useful ones too. But I'd still prefer to get my own. My craft room has a certain theme to it and I like to coordinate my stuff. My craft room before I renovated it. Craft-room...a2a10b.jpg

Personal thoughts: (Please keep in mind that I am mainly a digital artist, and do not use paints of any sort!! These are all about how use the items would be to me personally.) Mini/waterproof sketchbooks: Neat concept, too small for anything I'd draw. Paintbrush holders: Cute, but not very useful. Maybe the animal one would work for my tablet pen? Jewelry: Eh. I do like sparkly things, but none of these appeal to me. Tablecloths, shirts, bags, etc.: No thanks. I'd rather have actual supplies, not a shirt I'd wear once and then forget about. Personalized pencils, palettes, ect: Please no. If I get personalized pencils I'll never want to use them because they have my name! It'll backfire. Art kits: The bane of my existence. I hate these things. Never. Pencil holders: Yessss give me storage space I beg of you.

Too lazy to make a summary as detailed as yours 😋 but I agree with most points and I think most of these things are quite superfluous. Having too many supplies is almost worse than having too few...

I'm super picky about the brands of supplies I use because of years of experimenting and finding what works for me. I never expect anyone to know what I prefer so I just prefer people not buy me art supplies.
