FIVE TIPS FOR GIFTING ART:

1. Choose art based on the person’s taste. Maybe they have a favorite subject matter or style, maybe they like abstracts or floral.

   Choose artwork that will speak to them. Remember, it’s not for you; it’s their gift FROM you.

2. Think about their hobbies and passions: Their interests provide the perfect clues. Do they love outdoor sports, maybe landscapes will be right. Maybe they love travel and would enjoy abstract cityscapes.
3. Visualize the space: Picture their home, consider their style, the colours and themes throughout their space. Do they have a traditional decor or more of a contemporary look? Do they display art? If so, consider what they showcase on their walls.
4. Visit an online gallery: Visit the website to see which artworks will work in their space. Make purchase and delivery arrangements with the gallery.
5. Originality counts: Remember, original art makes a very special and potentially valuable gift for everyone.
