Sometimes I look at my daughter’s art projects and I think, “Where did this talent come from?” Even my stick figures need work. And it seems her artist eye colors her whole life, with her organization and room decor. Lola helped me pick some of these items so please enjoy the ultimate gift guide for your artsy teen:
Can you imagine an art canvas that resets every day? The Buddha board is all about mindfulness and letting go, as your art disappears after it dries. All you need is the board and some water. Another present I might need to steal for myself!
PC had a stop motion project for school and he spent hours and hours and hours making the coolest creation. Stop motion is a really great mix of tactile and digital creativity. Don’t be surprised if your kid is making Hollywood-level projects in a short few weeks.
You might have seen a memory game like this on TikTok. Follow the lights to see if you can remember the pattern. At this point, I might be making a holiday wishlist for myself.
Along with the friendship bracelet craze, today’s teens love to make their own stickers. This cool mini printer lets them print their own. Plus, it seems like a really useful study device for small diagrams or reminders.
If you’ve got an artsy kid, they will want to show off their style on their phone and AirPod cases. This little ice cream case is the cutest and will hopefully be bright enough that no expensive electronics go missing!
I’ve been seeing these neon signs pop up everywhere and I think a custom version would be a perfect gift for an artsy teen. (FYI, while most of these items are available quickly with Prime, this one may take 1-2 weeks since it’s custom.)
It seems what was once popular in my teens is now popular again. Lite-Brite released a teen-focused product that is one-part art project and one-part wall art. For any teen who is into the “art pop” style…this is an obvious choice!
What is it about a knot pillow that just elevates a room? It has no useful purpose but is so easy on the eyes. This one comes in over 20 colors and 3 different sizes. If your teen loves decorating their room, this is a no-brainer gift.
I have zero artistic ability yet I even want this set. Lola burns through supplies so quickly this is always a good restock option or a perfect starter set for your budding artist.
I love the outcome of a Tie Dye experiment but cringe at the possibility of the mess during the process. The reusable plastic storage container holds the dyes when your fashion fun is done.
I come from a family of women who made special dresses and costumes all by hand. Their talent for sewing was NOT passed through the gene pool. My mother gifted me one of her fancy sewing machines and I needed an eight-hour lesson just to turn it on. This basic machine, on the other hand, was easy to use and helped me make some pillowcases and window treatments for our house. A creative teen would love to experiment with a machine like this!
