Five Great Art Supplies to Gift
Watercolors
This Grabie Watercolor Paint Set comes with 100 colors of paints, brushes, and more. It makes this set perfect for beginners and also great for those who just need to get back into painting. With an awesome deal of 28% off now, you get amazing value too.
Pencils
I guarantee you won’t be disappointed with this Crayola Colored Pencil Set. I have the 50 count one and the 100 count one is part of the limited time deal on Amazon right now. So check it out soon!
Brush Pens
Both my daughter and I favor these double tip brush pens and I think I have ordered them way too many times now. But then again, once more can’t hurt, right? This set from Caliart has 72 vibrant colors that work well for journaling, coloring books, and more.
Art Sets
I have previously used and loved iBayam Art Supplies, so I know I am eyeing this 150-Pack Deluxe Wooden Art Set now that I am drawing and coloring and painting more often. Considering it is only $25.49 (almost 50% off), it is a steal. And I always love when I can store things back neatly, like in this art set.
Color Pens
Tebik 45 Pack Planner Pens Colored Pens, 40 Colors Pens with 5 Stencils at $9.99 is a steal anytime (deal/sale/or not!). And there is a 5% coupon for it at this time so a better deal than I got it for!
Bonus
And you can certainly use sketch books, right!!
So do check out the Leda Art Sketchbooks available in various sizes (even cool square ones!) for your needs. These sketchbooks lay flat making it so very easy to go ahead and unleash your creativity while also being strong enough to take what medium you use on it – be it pens, pencils, watercolors, or ink!!
I love how the built-in bookmark will let you get back to whatever you’re working on earlier in an instant. Plus, its size(s) makes it perfect to take with you anywhere you go so you can be creative whenever and wherever the mood strikes you…
A great item to add on for your gift set for those creatives you know.
