Unique Gifts To Help Your Artist Master Their Craft or Learn Something New

With so much time spent at home this year, we've had ample hours to dedicate to hobbies we might have otherwise forgot about. Whether you've finally mastered your banana bread recipe this year, or picked up a half-finished craft project that you started months ago, there's no better time to really dive in to your favorite hobbies than around the holidays. What better way to escape endless football games on TV or loading the dishwasher after family dinner than to sneak away to your craft room?! If you're in search of crafty Christmas present ideas for yourself or another artist you know, scroll through our gift guide tailored just for the creative type.

We've found gifts for all types of artists at all skill levels: Illustrators will love practicing their craft in a book of 600+ drawing prompts. Painters will cherish a personalized ceramic cup for washing out their brushes. And macaron-shaped sidewalk chalk and twig colored pencils make great gifts for kids. Your favorite artist will be so excited to try out their new gifts as soon as present-opening is over.
