Birthday Gift Ideas For Women: The Artist

Almost all cities tend to have a studio that will regularly host wine and paint nights, and it is a load of fun for a chill night "out".

Get the girlies together, cover her fee and booze and go paint with a glass of wine, or two or three.

The best part is: she doesn't need to be a good painter to enjoy it and neither do you!

... live far away from a studio? Arrange it at home!

Did you know almost nobody has photos of them partaking in their hobby, or something they love?

Change that!

Arrange a photoshoot with a professional photographer, or a semi-professional photography friend where she's either in her studio, painting outdoors or just vibing with a pen and paper.

Get a custom-made personalized sketchbook with her name engraved.

These look cute on the bookshelf and make easy sketches so much more intuitive and motivating!

Make sure she can take her hobby on the go by getting her a travel sketch kit like this one!

No more boring plane rides.

Or trains, for you eco-friendly Europeans.

Art supplies can be pricy for a hobby artist to keep up with because although they don't cost much outright, things like drawing pencils need to be constantly replaced.

So help her out and get her a high-quality drawing pencil set like this one!

Get her a paint-set in whatever her preferred method of artistry is, or maybe something she's mentioned that she has wanted to try?

There are a million ways to paint and get creative out there, but the most common ones will be:

Watercolor

Acrylic

Oil

Charcoal

Goauche

Want to treat her real damn nice? Maybe you're going in with the girlies or siblings?

Then I got the greatest gift you could possible get her right here:

A Wacom drawing tablet.

The price range goes all the way from $50 to like $4000, so find one your price range and she'll love you forever!

Personally I know that the Wacom Intuos is a great option from its price.

If she likes to paint at all, she'll probably need an apron!

So why not get her a cute, personalized one? They're super fun and easy to get, and it just has that extra splash of love and customization that really makes a good gift stand out.

You can do it on Amazon right here. Don't worry, she does not have to be a teacher to get a customized apron like the product title says. I promise.

Get her a desk lamp with a daylight spectrum so that she can focus on her work regardless of what time it is.

Fun fact: these lamps also help with anxiety!

Especially if she's in the starting stages, signing her up for an art class or workshop either online or in person can be a great gift!

This is something that people are often hesitant to do themselves, but is such a valuable and exciting way to engage with their skills!

Get her a color wheel with a mixing guide like this one!

It's a really useful tool to have for any painter.

However, it's really cheap so I'd recommend getting it in conjunction with something else; either on this list or... a bottle of wine?

I just love mixing wine and painting okay.

Sue me.

Just get her a bunch of canvas in various sizes she can knock herself loose on!

For this one, I recommend you either go to your local department store that sells art supplies, or Dickblick.

Okay, I've done this one twice and I can guarantee you that it works. Even if she's ashamed of her paintings (because all artists are for some reason) she'll at least laugh!

Go over to Shutterfly, upload your favorite painting or drawing of hers, and make a custom-made jigsaw puzzle from her art!

Now if that's not creative and personal I don't know.

Get her the nicest high-end drawing mechanical pencil on the market: a Rotring.

Combine it with a sketchbook and you got a whole little set going that she's sure to make lots of use from.
