Last Minute...Sounds So Bad...It Is What It IS
Last Minute...Sounds So Bad...It Is What It IS
The holidays are HERE! Eeek. I always struggle with gifting. If I don't have a list and know exactly what you want, I'll mull over it for hours at any store, trying to decide what the recipient will like the most, along with what color, size, style...and almost 95% of the time, the gift is returned. Insert a mini tear for me here. I TRIED!
For a while, gift cards were my go-to, but these days, so many of them deal with fraudulent issues! We had several last year that didn't work, and calling to get that money back is a joke. I basically called to give up more of my personal information and never received a replacement. Whomp Whomp and a DOH.
What to do? What to do for 2025, especially for that one person who is almost impossible to buy for and on "my strict budget"?
Worry not. I have JUST the solution for ALMOST all of your holiday shopping needs:
Gift Original Artwork
Gift Original Artwork
Consider giving the gift of an investment with local art! Bias Answer...ha ha ha. I know! I know...BUT hear me out! Gifting art during the holiday season can be a thoughtful and rewarding investment for several reasons:
Gift Value Appreciation
Gift Value Appreciation
Art has the potential to appreciate over time, making it a unique and thoughtful investment gift. Unlike many consumer goods that depreciate or are forgotten by the spring, well-selected art from emerging or established artists can increase in value, turning your gift into a future financial asset for the recipient.
Gift With Personal and Emotional Significance
Gift With Personal and Emotional Significance
Art holds intrinsic emotional and personal value, which can make it a deeply meaningful gift. It is often more than just an object; it reflects the tastes, interests, and personality of the giver and the recipient. This makes it a lasting and memorable gift that will be cherished for years, contributing to the recipient's sense of identity and home.
Gifts With Cultural and Aesthetic Investment
Gifts With Cultural and Aesthetic Investment
Art enhances the beauty and atmosphere of a space, adding a unique aesthetic and cultural touch to the recipient's environment. Unlike mass-produced items, original art can transform a room and create a sense of sophistication and individuality. As a cultural investment, it enriches the recipient's life by inspiring creativity, conversation, and emotional connection.
AND A BONUS
AND A BONUS
Gifting art offers a unique combination of emotional resonance, cultural significance, and potential financial benefits, making it a thoughtful and valuable holiday gift...ESPECIALLY for that one person who is ALWAYS really hard to buy for. Lucky you if you only have one...I have two.
What NOT To Gift
What NOT To Gift
Ok, so obviously...don't gift art to those kids, your niece/nephew, or anyone under the age of ____ (insert your own magic number here) because chances are they will toss that art piece right back at you and say out loud, "IS THAT IT?". LOL. Don't set yourself up for failure. Or, if you are insistent on buying them some art, as an investment, just buy it and tuck it away until they are in their first apartment/home when their walls are white AF, and they might appreciate it more. Nobody said you have to give the gift now. You're welcome.

If you're that one person who has finished ALL of their holiday shopping, I envy you...and also encourage you to consider sharing this email/post with a friend who is lost in a department store right now in search of that perfect gift. LOL. The anxiety is high for them. They need a reprieve! Send this post to them so they can end the agony, snatch up some art, and meet you for drinks instead! Ha ha ha you're a GOOD friend!
Happy Holiday Season to you all and as always, thank you for being here!
