Posted by East End Prints on 7th Dec 2022
There’s something really special about buying a personal gift for a creative loved one. Those who love art want to explore their creativity and fill their lives with beautiful artwork that they can appreciate — your gift can help them do that. Giving a personal gift is a really special experience and shows the recipient how much you care. Here are 5 great gift ideas for the art lover in your life.

1. Supplies
Anybody who knows an artist will be aware of how great supplies can be as gifts. Paints, sketch pads and even things like paint brushes and pallets can be really useful additions to an artist's collection of supplies.
With gifted supplies, your loved one can create some beautiful artwork that everyone can enjoy. You can choose to go for the staples that every artist needs like paints or professional pencils, or you can try and grab a luxury product that an artist might not buy for themselves. Anything special that can be used to be creative is a gift well worth giving.
2. Art Prints for The Home
Another great idea for a lasting gift is an art print. You can get prints for film lovers, travel fanatics or even just pick up a print in a style they love. Prints can be personal in more ways that just appealing to their love of art and creativity.
Art prints are a really affordable and flexible way to brighten up any room in a home or office and can be well used and cherished gifts. Whilst many of our best selling art prints can really go anywhere in a home, lots of them are perfect for a bedroom or study for that bonus personal touch to really make your recipient feel extra special!
If you like the idea but you’re not too sure what style or size of art print to get, you can also get gift cards. This is always a great, thoughtful way to show your art loving recipient that you care. Gift cards are a popular and personal way to gift.
3. Limited Edition Prints
If a standard print just won’t cut it then you can take advantage of limited edition and artist edition prints to add that extra touch of luxury. These prints can be created in limited numbers and even be signed by the artist. They’re a brilliant gift for a special occasion.
There are a ton of special prints we can recommend but one of our favourites (and best sellers) are the blueprint limited prints by Dorothy. They’re absolutely perfect for a music (or film) lover and really speak to the inner artist with the high quality finish.
4. Tickets for an exhibition
Does your art lover have a particular artist or style that they really love or like to work in? Treat them to tickets to a show or exhibition where they can really immerse themselves in the artwork for a day and see some stunning works in person!
It’s a great thing to support independent artists and if you’re not sure where to start, our blog highlights some really talented people — it might strike some inspiration!
5. Workshops or Experiences
Artists and creative people love to experiment with their creations. You could treat them to an opportunity to try something new. Art classes come in a variety of forms and mediums and you could even branch out from traditional painted art to things like pottery or glass blowing for a really different experience.
