Whether the artist in your life is a painter, a sculptor, or a tattooist, finding the perfect gifts for artistic people can be a journey. Browse shops on Etsy to find a range of gifts for artists to help them in their creative pursuits.


For the painter in your life, there's no doubt that quality paints and brushes are likely at the top of their wish list. They might appreciate an easel or two for holding their projects in place as they work, and you can never go wrong with additional blank canvases.


If you know someone with a passion for making ceramics, they can never have enough clay to bring their ideas to life. An array of glazes and shaping tools also make great gifts for ceramic artists.


For the artist with a passion for carving statues from marble or wood, a set of sculptor's chisels or wood-carving knives make a wonderful gift. If your sculptor works primarily with metal, consider a welding helmet or a circular hand sander.


A friend who loves to draw will never turn down a gift of sketchbooks and drawing pencils.


Great gifts for tattoo artists might include a book of tattoo art for inspiration and stencil blanks.


Your special someone might enjoy working across a variety of unconventional materials to create their art. Whatever their medium, they could always use a craft knife to precision cut their materials, and adhesives to hold everything in place.

From visual artists and writers to sculptors and musicians, all artists share a passion for creativity and a love for beauty wherever they find it. Not all gifts for an artist have to be practical. Whatever the art form, consider these thoughtful gift ideas for the artist in your life:


  • Biographies: Reading a biography of the life and work of icons in their field is always an inspiration for any artist, whether they're a professional or a hobbyist.
  • Instructional material: Many artists relish having reference material and resources to draw from and help move them forward in their work.
  • Clothing: Many artistic pursuits take a toll on clothing. An apron for protection is always appreciated—and the pockets are quite handy. A custom T-shirt or hoodie with a clever saying or a print of their work can be a delightful surprise.
