What do artsy girls like?
What do artsy girls like? You might especially wonder that if you’re a guy or a non-creative person—or both. (◔_◔)
I’d like to say that many female creatives enjoy girly things, like soft pastel colors, playful designs, and exquisite items that aren’t everyday. Of course, it’s all down to personal taste and preference.
However, I am a female digital artist and photographer, and I’d be thrilled to find any of the items below under the Christmas tree. That’s why I’ve included them in my list of the best Christmas gifts for artsy girls.
If you don’t quite like what’s on the list, you can find a wider selection in my other gift guides:
25+ Best Christmas Gifts For An Artsy Girl 2025
1. Traditional Painting Sets
Traditional art is a great way for any creative to experiment with color, new mediums, and techniques. That’s why a traditional painting set is my first suggestion on my list of the best Christmas gifts for an artsy girl!
There are lots of different traditional artistic mediums; I’ve chosen sets of watercolors, pencils, and soft pastels for you to choose from:
Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Paint Set
Prismacolor Colored Pencil Sets
Sennelier Soft Pastels Set
2. Polaroid Cameras
Polaroid cameras are seeing a huge comeback this year. These vintage style devices are fun to shoot with, come in a variety of popping colors, and let you print your photos on the spot. If the artsy girl you’re shopping for likes to take pictures, this is a great idea to surprise her on Christmas Eve!
Polaroid Now Generation 3
Fujifilm Instant Film Camera
3. Wireless Headphones
Almost every artistic person loves to listen to music. I always play songs while I create because music inspires me a lot. If the artsy girl you want to surprise this Christmas feels the same, consider gifting her a set of headphones!
I’ve listed some colorful, stylish-looking headphones and earbuds below. Other colors are available, these are just some suggestions:
4. Wireless Mice
We all use computers and laptops on a daily basis, and having a beautiful, practical mouse makes it even more fun! These wireless mice not only look appealing in pink and rose pastel tone; they’re also ergonomic and comfortable to hold in the hand.
5. Inspirational Printout Cards
All artsy girls need a boost of inspiration and positivity from time to time to stay motivated—like everyone of us!
Printable cards with inspirational quotes or powerful affirmations make a fantastic Christmas gift because your beloved one can print them on any color cardstock she likes, or you can email them to her if she lives far away.
6. Adult Coloring & Sketching Books
Coloring and sketching books are not only for kids, they’re also wonderful Christmas gifts for an artsy girl. Those books are a great way to express creativity, while unwinding and focusing on simple, soothing designs.
The two coloring and sketching books below feature cute and fun pictures of animals, flowers, and Japanese Kawaii designs. They can be used with all kinds of coloring tools, including colored pencils, crayons, and markers.
7. Instant Smartphone Printers
Does your artsy friend like to take pictures with her phone? Then a smartphone printer can make the perfect Christmas gift!
A smartphone printer lets you print photos directly from your smartphone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Because it’s compact and lightweight, it fits in any bag and is easy to carry around. The rose pastel-colored smartphone printers below make great gifts for capturing friendships and memories.
8. Samsung Galaxy & Apple Watches
A smartwatch puts the most important tools and notifications right on your wrist. It makes it easy to track time, health, and fitness, and check messages without constantly looking at your phone.
Both Samsung and Apple feature smartwatches in their range that make beautiful Christmas gifts for an artsy girl:
9. Photo & Film Cameras
If you think cameras only come in boring black, think again! There are plenty of stylish, colorful designs out there that make awesome Christmas gifts for an artsy girl!
I’ve picked two models for you that are available in an appealing pink shade (along with green, blue, and orange), are compact in size, and offer long-lasting batteries and the latest features:
10. Camcorder
If a camera isn’t the right fit, what about a camcorder? Camcorders are perfect for recording video on the go, and if your loved one enjoys vlogging or capturing themselves in their art studio, it’s a fantastic Christmas gift idea!
Camcorders are equipped with everything you need to shoot great videos, including features like optical zoom, image stabilization, and built-in microphones.
11. Fountain Pens
Fountain pens combine functionality and artistry. Especially beautifully crafted pens with unique colors and finishes appeal to someone with an eye for aesthetics.
Plus, they’re ideal tools for creative expression, including customized handwriting, calligraphy, and sketching. I’m sure your artsy friend will love receiving one as a Christmas gift because it’s both practical and inspiring.
Here’s a selection of exquisitely designed fountain pens available in a variety of colors:
12. Notebooks & Sketchbooks
Artsy people naturally like to sketch and doodle, write down inspirational thoughts, or journal their ideas, feelings, and experiences. A great notebook for creative use features thick, high-quality paper with a smooth texture, as well as blank or minimally formatted pages for maximum artistic freedom.
If you like this as a Christmas gift for an artsy girl, then check out these notebooks and sketchbooks:
13. Pen Cases
With fountain pens, notebooks, and other writing utensils, you need to stay organized, right? That’s why my last suggestion in this list of the best Christmas gifts for an artsy girl is a pen case. But not just any pen case—a really cute, unique, and original one.
The Japanese brand PuniLabo manufactures pen cases in a range of adorable animal designs, including cats, bears, rabbits, penguins, and more.
All cases are made from high-quality silicone, soft and flexible, with plenty of space to store pens, pencils, markers, and even a small eraser or ruler—everything an artsy girl needs to keep her supplies neatly in order!
