CRAFTERNOON: A Guide to Getting All Artsy and Crafty with Your Friends All Year Long

Holiday Gift Guide: Things to Put in Frames

Art that you can put on your wall is one of the very best gifts of all. Rufus and I have lots of original art in our little apartment. Much of it has been graciously given to us by generous artist friends, but we have also made a point of buying art that we love. Many outrageously talented artists sell limited edition prints of their work at very affordable prices. And one of my absolute favorite cartoonists sells some of his original drawings, too. So if you’re looking for a gift that will be part of someone’s daily life, give them some art.

Original art by the incredibly talented Ron Rege Jr.

give love

Sure, the message may be a bit at odds with a gift guide, but it’s a good message. Ultimately, the most important gift that anyone can give is love, not stuff. But if you still want to give a little something on top of all the love, art is a pretty great gift.
