Art supplies are our love language.
When you give someone a set of paints, you give them your vote of confidence. You're saying that they have something special to show the world, and that they have the talent to express it. You're paying respect to their way of doing things; you're amplifying their voice.
This guide is our annual attempt to help you choose the perfect thing to empower and uplift each of your creative friends. We've spent all year collecting well-made, hard-to-find items from around the world: new writing instruments, limited-edition watercolors, elegant wood box sets, and clever little things for desktops and studio tables.
As ever, we're offering free gift wrapping upon request (no order minimum) and free shipping on U.S. orders over $59.

Wrap With Furoshiki
We love to give gifts wrapped in furoshiki. They're Japanese wrapping cloths, capable of many uses and re-uses, and they come in lots of lovely patterns.

Always Leave a Note
A gift is incomplete without a tag, and it's even nicer if you write something personal. We stock a variety of mini note options in our stationery department.

Everyone Needs a Notebook
Need "one more thing" for someone on your list? Good news: notebooks go with everything. There's a notebook style for everyone in our paper section.
