Well, stress no more. We’re here to make it easy on you and break down some gift ideas based on the type of artist you’re shopping for. Plus, since all the items on our list are quality-made, you can be sure you’re going to get shrills of joy when they unwrap this year.
The Best Gifts for the Artist
Whether your loved one paints on canvas or paints murals on giant walls, one thing is certain: They value quality paint brushes. But beyond that, did you know that different types of paint brushes can make artists’ lives easier in different ways?
If you’re shopping for a muralist, the Zibra Muralist Paintbrush Kit is sure to be a slam dunk. It includes 2 sizes of our Square Brush (which creates the crispest, longest lines), 2 sizes of our Triangle Brush (which is perfect for corners and blending), and our new 1” Angled Brush that is incredible for precision. Plus, the kit comes with a canvas bag for storage.
So many artists need to paint details on the daily. That’s why they’d love one of our Artist Kits. With three sizes to choose from, you can’t go wrong. But if you want to hit a homerun, why not get them the bundle of all 3?
Every artist knows how important it is to keep their brushes clean so that they last longer. A great stocking stuffer to handle this very task would be the Paintbrush Cleaning Tool. It makes getting paint out of bristles a breeze.
The Best Gifts for the DIYer
If there’s someone in your life who can’t help but redo a room every couple of months, then we’ve got you covered. The Best of Zibra Kit features five of our bestselling brushes that can tackle any home project, big or small. Your DIYer will love you forever – and then they’ll quickly disappear to go start a new project with their new brushes ASAP.
If there’s one thing that DIYers know, it’s that they have to unscrew, snip, or open things constantly. One way to keep them prepared for the hassle side of making over a room is to gift them with The Open It. Small enough to be a stocking stuffer, but mighty enough to open any package, your DIYer will thank you.
Worried that a single paint brush isn’t sexy enough for gifting? Think again. One thing every DIYer has to do is cut in – or paint next to trim. And one thing they hate doing? Taping everything up beforehand. The Cut In Paintbrush is THE brush to actually make cutting in enjoyable and not a chore. And once they try this, they’ll never buy a roll of tape again.
The Best Gifts for the Furniture Refinisher
Rehabbing furniture is undoubtedly a labor of love. So what better way to show your love for them than with a paintbrush kit specifically designed with them in mind? The Furniture Kit contains 4 brushes that are perfect for tackling flat surfaces, round legs and spindles, and even tight spaces like the insides of drawers or under tables.
The likelihood of making a small mess while refinishing furniture is very high. That’s why the Speed Drop would be a welcome gift in any furniture refinisher’s home. Unlike a regular drop cloth, the Speed Drop isn’t unruly and doesn’t bunch up. Plus, it keeps paint from soaking through and staining the floor. With easy setup and cleanup, it’s a winner.
There’s nothing better than painting the top coat of a dresser or table and having the finished product be smooth as butter. That’s where the Top Coat Paintbrush Kit comes in. If you know that your loved one values a smooth finish (but let’s be honest – who doesn’t?), then you can be sure they’ll love this kit.
The Best Gifts for the Professional Painter
Even the pros need to replenish their tools! And no pro can go a day on the job without their trusty Flat Paintbrush. For extremely smooth painting with an ergonomic handle to minimize fatigue, this brush is a must-have. Plus, it comes in three size options. (Pro tip: Get them the 3 inch brush. 😉)
No painter likes to paint stairs. Want to know why? Because the drop cloths that they use are slippery and can easily result in a fall. Until now that is. Our Speed Drop Stair was designed to hug stairs to make it safer to work. Plus, it keeps paint from leaking through and folds up in seconds. Who wouldn’t love that?
