Five Star Gift Ideas

If your friend loves fine art, you have many options available to you when it comes to finding the perfect gift for him/her. Here are some ideas:

1. Customized painting/drawing: One of the most special gifts you can give someone who loves art is a one-of-a-kind piece. You could commission a local artist to create something unique for your friend. Ask your friend's favorite artist style or subject he/she loves most and get it incorporated in its own way in a painting or drawing.

2. Tickets to an art museum: If your friend enjoys art, he/she might appreciate tickets to a local art museum. Visit your local museum or galleries to find out about current exhibitions or events, and choose the one that best aligns with your friend's interests.

3. Books on art: There are plenty of books on art that include explanations about different movements, periods and styles. You could also get coffee table books with lots of full-color images of famous paintings or sculptures. For example, you could consider buying "The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramon y Cajal" if your friend loves neuroscience.

4. Art supplies: Nothing beats the joy of creating art. If your friend expresses interest in creating art, you can never go wrong with gifting art supplies. Wrap a collection of sketching pencils or a set of watercolors with a tracking book and your present will surely fetch you some smiles.

5. Artwork accessories: If your friend already has a lot of art around the home or office, you could consider getting them complementing accessories to enhance their decor. For example, unique coasters or throw pillows printed with famous art pieces would brighten any room.

No matter what you choose, make sure you put thought into it. Gift something that aligns with your friend's interests personally. With these ideas, you can undoubtedly give a special and meaningful gift to an art-loving friend.

Or you can get her/him a star map with an important date you share.
