Gift Ideas for the Graphic Designers, Calligraphers, & Artists in your Life

Artistic people are notoriously hard to buy gifts for. Most of us are super picky about the products we use, and no one wants to give a gift that the person won’t get any use out of. So, to help you out when shopping for these kind of people, I’ve put together a list of both fun gifts and practical gifts that designers, artists, and calligraphers will absolutely love.

PANTONE GLASSES

These Pantone glasses are the perfect gift for anyone in the design world, or anyone who loves their coffee or alcoholic drinks. I created these with people like me in mind, so I know that any creative person would get a kick out of these.

BLOOM COLORING BOOK

The newest book by Alli Koch, this coloring book combines adult coloring with the most beautiful floral drawings. If you are looking for more of an artistic gift, Alli also sells a couple step-by-step floral drawing books that are AMAZING.

LOVE CALLIGRAPHY GRAPHIC TEE

What my boyfriend calls the “creepy hand shirt,” it’s one of the best sellers in my wearables shop. There aren’t many calligraphy specific shirts out there, so it will impress any calligrapher in your life!

“MERMAID” OBLIQUE CALLIGRAPHY PEN

Feather Park Lettering makes a ton of beautiful pens and calligraphy supplies out of resin, including this Mermaid pen. Anyone interested in calligraphy should have at least one beautiful pen in their collection.

PANTONE ENAMEL PIN

Obviously, I’m a huge fan of Pantone. So is any designer, printer, etc. This funny and simple pin is the perfect addition to any piece of clothing or accessory, and the designer in your life will love it.

COLIRO COLORS METALLIC WATERCOLORS

I’ve used these watercolors for a long time – and while the price may seem high for watercolor paints, these are the most pigmented metallic paints I’ve ever found. Any semi-artistic person will be obsessed with these paints, I promise you. Plus, they have tons of colors and sets to choose from.

FLORAL ENVELOPE POCKET TEE

As a stationery designer, I know there is a huge community of stationers out there. This envelope floral pocket tee is cute and great for anyone, but stationers or calligraphers especially will love the nod to how happy mail makes them (like me).

PERSONALIZED CLEAR BLOTTER

Ink Me This has a huge shop, filled with books, calligraphy pens and supplies, custom stamps, and more. The blotters she sells though are totally unique – and are great for calligraphers and artists. Did you know that having a mat like this makes it easier to write?

LIGHT PAD

As a designer, artist, and calligrapher, my favorite item of all time is my light pad. It makes life so much easier. I have this one that is linked, and I love it so much it had to be a part of this list.

CALLIGRAPHY INKWELL ENAMEL PIN

Doesn’t this pin just make you so happy? The fun colors and whimsical drawing is sure to make a big impression.
