Great Gifts for Artists on Amazon
Adult coloring books. This line is VERY popular with women of all ages, because of the positive and uplifting messages and beautiful designs on each coloring page. This line highlights bible verses along with great designs and is extremely popular as well!
Art pencils for adult coloring books. Â This are some of the best quality art pencils, great for their color range and for blending to make different shades.

Happy Little Accidents: The Wit and Wisdom of Bob Ross book. Bob Ross’ painting style may be just a tad dated, but his fun, witty remarks aren’t! If she’s a fan of Bob, she’ll love this little book.
Brief History of Art mug. This is pretty cool for any art lover! The creator has managed to put quite a few major, recognizable works of art onto this coffee mug. If she drinks coffee, tea, or hot cocoa, this is a gift she can use every day.
Give Her an Art Subscription box!
Let’s Make Art!  “An easy way to paint and create!” These are art subscription boxes, which allow your artsy girl to easily create gorgeous watercolor paintings. You can gift a monthly subscription for $35 per month ( the monthly kit contains everything you need for four paint along watercolor paintings – brushes & paint tray not included). Or you can look through the online store and purchase one box to start out, which includes everything for one painting (except for brushes and paint trays.) If there’s something extra you need to order, the website will make sure to list it. Then when your art lover gets it, they can tune in to the YouTube channel and easily create some colorful, satisfying art. Doesn’t get much better than that! Our panel’s current favorites are the rainbow elephant and the cactus watercolor boxes.
Painting with a Twist Gifts
Gift Certificate to your local Paint with A Twist. “Fun art, not fine art.” Each night there’s a pre-selected, ready-to-hang on the wall design, and the class does them together, step by step. It’s very easy & lots of fun, even if she has NO art experience. If your wife, daughter, mom, or sister would like to do scripture art, you can pay for her to go to an open event with Truth Be Told Art, as well!
