As 2024 ends, it’s becoming time for gift-giving! Here are 10 ideas for the people you know who love arts and crafts:
- Air dry clay/polymer clay: Air dry clay: $10 – $30, Polymer clay: $10 – $20

- Coloring books: $10 – $20
Coloring books can be a great pastime for anyone, especially if you choose a theme that the recipient loves.

Colored pencils are an essential piece of equipment for any artist, they can be used for detailing, shading, and texture, and can also be used in mixed media art.

An easel and canvas would be a great gift for a painter, allowing a better surface for painting rather than a table or desk.
- Art set: $20 – $40
An art set would be a great gift for a beginner artist to help get into the hobby more without breaking the bank. These sets usually include a sketchbook, colored pencils, regular pencils, erasers, and sharpeners, and some include paint pallets, paintbrushes, acrylic/watercolor paints, and oil pastels.

Fabric paints are an excellent way to customize your shirts, pants, other clothes, or any other kind of fabric.
