Getting and Giving Art Supplies

Don't you just love getting art supplies as gifts? They are always a bit of a luxury item. Now's the time to start putting your wishlist on the fridge (leave the product page open on your computer) to make sure Santa gets the hint and gets his orders in early, and you don't end up with another wrong-sized polo shirt or automatic kitchen gadget. [p]If you're buying art materials for someone else, try to find out (and write down) what sort of materials the recipient already has, and better still, what they want. Check out this gift guide. If you're not sure, you can't go wrong with a nicely bound sketchbook.
