There are those who consider art to be a mere form of expression or entertainment, and then there are those who live by art. 

The latter are the ones who understand that art is what fills life with joy, inspiration, purpose, and more. Those are the ones who truly deserve the tag of art lovers.

All that said, everyone has their own way of viewing, enjoying, and appreciating art, and rightfully so. 

This conversation is not about the right ways around art but about the ones who love art. If you have an art lover in your life, for whom you are looking for a suitable gift, we have some ideas to discuss with you. Shall we get started?

1.Engraved Art Tools

An artist can never have too many art tools; we don’t make the rules! If you want THE perfect gift for the art lovers, don’t forget to check out art tools. But wait, anyone can come up with the idea of giving them art tools. 

How is your gift going to stand apart? Get the art tools engraved with their names, initials, or any quotes they like. This way, they will not only have a new set but a set specially created for them.

And while you’re at it, don’t forget to send Rakhi hampers from IGP to make the celebration extra special.

With thoughtfully curated goodies, sweets, and personalized keepsakes, these hampers add that festive warmth and show how much you care—even from miles away.

2.LED Lamp

Just like they light up your day, light up their world with an LED lamp! Jokes apart, artists understand the value of good lighting. When they are busy creating something hunched over their table, they will need some good lighting. Not just that, they can really use the LED lamp in different ways in their studio. Go for a lamp that matches their aesthetics, so they have a gift equally beautiful and practical. 

3.Photo Frame

Let’s help them showcase their memories or artworks in a frame that goes with their style. Consider bold brushstroke textures, paint-drip patterns, or elegant wooden frames with discreet engraving. You can make it more personal with a message, date, or even a motif of design based on their chosen medium, watercolours, pastels, or ink. It's a beautiful way to commemorate their milestones or record moments from shows and artistic adventures. 

4.Wall Art

Nothing makes a wall more special than art. Have them commission a piece in their style of art, abstract, realism, or pop art, or make a typographic print with their name, favourite quote, or birthday incorporated into an aesthetic design. For a more interactive version, have a map of art museums they've been to or hope to visit, with areas to place an "X" upon completion. With every look at the wall comes a sense of affection, pride, and encouragement.

5.Customized Diary

Someone busy doodling in their cute little diary, paying no attention to the world passing by -  a view we are very much familiar with! For your adorable artists, a diary can be a thoughtful gift. But since we are talking about finding the best gift, make the diary memorable by customising it. It can be an engraving of their initials, names, or anything else that means something to them.

6.Personalized Art Kit

Make a gift box with supplies that align with their unique interest, whether it's watercolours, charcoal drawing or gouache. Toss in personalised labels, paint combination charts, or an initialled palette to personalise it. Mini how-to manuals or idea cards can be incorporated into some sets to give them a boost of creativity. It's not merely a set of materials; it's an invitation to discover and create.

7.Art-Themed Calendar Featuring Their Work

We know that the digital world has a great deal of convenience, including the way we look at date and time, but a calendar can be a meaningful gift. Get a calendar customised with either their favourite artwork or with their own pieces of art. With each month, they will meet a different art piece, which can become a source of inspiration and excitement. 

8.Personalized Apron

Artists are too busy with their art to think about messy clothes. In fact, there is something really beautiful about seeing colours and remains of their art on the hands and clothes of the artists. That said, an artist might appreciate a cute apron they can wear when they don’t want to get messy. Yes, you should definitely customise the apron to make it more their style.

9.Personalized Sketchbook or Art Journal

A sketchbook is not simply some paper; it can be the best friend for letting imagination fly free. Choose one with high-quality pages suitable for the type of art they create. Add their name, initials, or even a drawing by them to the cover. Include an inside cover message for that added surprise. It will be a very personal place for their creation, exploration, and development.

10.Engraved Art Supply Box

An engraved wooden handcrafted art supply box is both functional and heirloom-quality. Personalise it with their name, a motto, or a design. With compartments to keep paints, brushes, pencils, and other supplies in order, it creates order from chaos. A stunning engraved lid brings sophistication and serves as a focal point in any artist's studio.

Pick any gift from this list, and the art lover will be happy!
