Lux vs. Low: MakeupJul.19.2020
Getting someone a gift doesn’t have to equate with spending a fortune. Even if the intended recipient has expensive tastes. Art lovers especially can typically appreciate any gift that they find unique, or feel is something that speaks to their passion. Whether the person receiving the gift is an artist themselves, or they just enjoy the arts in general, there are a ton of really great gifts out there that won’t leave you wondering where next month’s rent is going to come from. Here’s our list of some seriously awesome, and wallet friendly, gifts for art lovers.
Society6 is any art lover’s dream website. It’s an artsy treasure trove of awesome stuff. You can find anything from wall art, to clothing, to furniture, to home décor. We personally love this bag which comes in three sizes. They’re also well sewn and super durable, which means your artsy pal will get to enjoy this tote for a long time. It would be perfect for just about anything. It could be used as a gym bag, a grocery bag, a work bag, or even a bag to shove your beach towels in. Did we mention how much we love the design?

If you know an art lover who prides themselves on their ability to identify an artist simply by looking at a painting, this is the perfect gift for them. The player will draw a card which contains three visual clues. It’s then their task to puzzle out the artist represented. It’s like taking an art history class, but without all the Powerpoint presentations. For example, one card contains images of a church, a pearl, and a cupid. Think you might have it? You can find the game on Amazonae for around 71AED.
Get your pop art on, and stay dry, with this amazing umbrella. You can find it on the Museum of Modern Art website. There are also several umbrellas inspired by other well known art, including one fashioned after Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
For a gift that keeps on giving, this subscription box is perfect for art lovers. In every box, the lucky recipient will receive everything they need to create a piece of art. Every monthly art project also comes with instructions on how to successfully create your masterpiece. Boxes start at around 91 AED per month. Past projects include things like making leaf shaped bowls, paper crafting to create a free standing floral sculpture, and exploring pointillism. Mediums differ as well to offer a variety of experiences. Check out the website here for more info.

Even those who don’t feel like they have an artistic bone in their body can have a good time at one of these outings. You could gift a friend a night on their own, or spring for two seats and tag along. The wine is not a must. We Love Art is a great option for a painting class, and you can either sip some grape, or receive 4 non-alcoholic beverages in its place. Plus, at the end of the night, you will have your very own piece of artwork to hang on your wall. And you painted it yourself! Even total novices can really have great results and end up with something they are super proud of. A night of painting and fun will cost you about 390AED for three hours. Do be aware We Love Art currently has four different locations in Dubai. So, make sure you know which one you’re headed to.
