Ah, Christmas time.  The time when we, as a nation, become obsessed with finding the perfect unique Christmas gift for all those important people on our list.  Sometimes that can be a downright difficult thing to do.  Often, people don’t tell you what they want or, worse, they go and get it themselves.  There are a few things which will work just in case that one perfect item is unavailable or already in their possession.  One of those ubiquitous items is fine art.

Everyone loves having something to look at on the wall.  Often times, there is more wall space than images on it, especially for those who are just starting out in life and/or on a tight budget.  Fine art would be a perfect gift for people like that on your list this year.

Perhaps you know someone with means who is seeking more than a simple pair of socks or a tie as a gift.  You need to give them something which really speaks to how much you value him or her.  Not just anything will do here.  Fine art will meet your need beautifully (in more ways than one and yes pun intended).

The right kind of fine art is timeless.  It will be fashionable for years to come.  It’s value speaks for itself.  The owner will treasure it and take good care of it due to the quality and craftsmanship put into it.  It’s more like an investment.

There are tons of different artists out there producing all different kinds of art, in all kinds of price ranges.  So, you’re not restricted to something that your Christmas list individual might not like or something which might be outside your holiday gift budget.  Do some shopping around and you shouldn’t be disappointed in the selection on the market today.

A few years ago, I was tired to trying to get the right gifts for all those people on my list.  I couldn’t go to my normal source of unique gift ideas that year.  Thankfully, just before Christmas, I found a local artist doing some beautiful work.  I made arrangements to purchase some of his work as gifts.  Let me tell you, the family loved those gifts that year.  People loved them so much that they are still talking about those gifts today.

The right fine art is both thoughtful and fabulous.  It can look like you spent a fortune whether you really did or not.  It says “you matter so much to me that I want to add some beauty to your life.”  It also makes a tremendous positive statement to those whom you feel obligated to give gifts to but don’t really want to.  Fine art really is a universal gift.  It’s the perfect unique Christmas gift.  You really can’t ask for a better gift idea this holiday season.

Whatever your circumstances are and what your Christmas list of special people looks like, you probably know someone who’d love to receive a gift of fine art in their stocking this year.  So how do you choose the right kind of fine art for this person?  We’ll talk about that next week.

If you now find that you are in the market for some beautiful fine art as a Christmas gift this year, may I direct you to our online store where you can buy beautiful fine art photography prints for anyone on your list.
