It can be tricky to know what to gift the budding artist in your life. What materials do they already have and what would they like to experiment with?

An art set is a great gift because it covers lots of bases all at once, artists can play around with colouring pencils, markers, paints and more, and usually these sets come in a handy carry case or box as well, for easy storage.
