Top Tips for Buying Art as a Gift

Few gifts are more memorable than art, and taking the time to choose artwork for your special someone is the perfect way to show how much someone means to you.

Art is a beautiful gift because it is so personal. From the spark of an idea to the creation of the work itself to the choosing of a particular piece, it’s all very personal… and getting personal shows you care. Receiving something this unique will definitely make them feel very special.

Gifting artwork for the holidays does not need to be expensive. On Soul’Ds site, you can find something for everyone at a budget that suits. Some original artworks are priced under £800, and prints start at less than £29. Art makes a memorable gift for hard-to-shop people who have almost everything… if you can’t decide on which piece, simply gift them a gift card and let them choose. Have a look at Soul’D new gifts cards for £25-£100.


So, how to choose the right piece of art?

1. Think about how their home is decorated.
Do they prefer edgy, industrial surroundings or a more eclectic, vibrant vibe? Use their personal style or favourite colours as clues to choose the kind of art they will love. On Soul’D-art.com site, you can write the colour in the search bar to find which pieces have the perfect colourways.

3. Giving smaller artworks can make a big impact…
…and allow the person you’re gifting more flexibility about where to display their new art. Even if your special someone lives in a small apartment or is short on wall space, they will likely have a mantel, shelf or bedside table that would look amazing with some new art.

If the friend you are gifting already has a gallery wall going, consider giving them a small original painting or a framed art print to add to the mix.

Soul’D shares:

“I met a buyer, who each year purchases a piece of artwork by an local artist to hang on his walls. Not only is he creating a beautiful, unique looking home by building a collection but at the same time, giving artists really invaluable support with his purchases.”
