Holiday season teaches us one important lesson: giving can feel fantastic. Isn't it so? If you feel like you haven't gifted enough or to you heart content this Christmas and you feel like giving more, you're probably looking for New Year present proposals. Today I'm back with some arty New Year gift ideas. If you're looking for some New Year shopping inspiration, you've come to the right place. I've put together a little selection of products (mostly from Redbubble) to help you decide. I've also left a link to the square neck dress I'm wearing in this post. Pairing a square neck dress with a shirt or a turtleneck can be a great idea for a New Year outfit, especially if you want to make sure you feel cozy and warm. If you haven't already, you can also read
my tips for choosing the perfect festive outfit. While you're at it, feel free to read
my tips for lowering stress levels during the holidays. Alright, now let's get back to theme of New Year presents. Do you shop for New Year presents? It is no so much a tradition where I'm from, and I don't do it every year, but sometimes I really enjoy buying presents for NY, especially when I haven't had the time to buy perfect Christmas gifts. New Year presents are also a good gift alternative for people who don't celebrate Christmas.

Dress: Rosegal (here), Turtleneck: old (another cute option here), Heels: old (similar here and here) |
CELLPHONE, iPHONE AND iPAD CASES
As I already mentioned in one of my pre-Christmas posts, tech accessories are a pretty neutral gift option. You can easily give them to a coworker or an acquaintance. However, they can also be a personal gift. If you're confident in the taste of the receiver, why not opt for arty iPhone and Ipad cases? Here I've selected a few featuring my fashion illustrations, but you can also opt for more classical themes, neutral colours or motivational messages. I personally think that classical phone covers are always a lovely option. Moreover, motivational messages are a good choice as well (for example this
one). Fashionista in me is crying for fashion illustration themed covers, though.
LAPTOP SLEEVES AND SKINS
Everyone has a laptop these days, so obviously laptop sleeves and skins are potentially good gift options. When choosing a perfect laptop sleeve and skin, try to consider the taste of a receiver. I obviously love laptop sleeves and skins featuring fashion art, but if you're choosing a laptop accessory for your dad, unless your dad works in a fashion industry, you might want to opt for something more classical. When choosing artistic laptop accessories, always think about what kind of art the receiver likes. If you're not certain, a classical landscape or panorama might be a good option.
INNER DECOR ITEMS
Inter decor items such as art prints, acrylic blocks, pillows and clocks can make for a lovely gift idea, especially when it comes to art lovers. Art can make your (or someone else's ) home looks more unique and cozy. When opting for artistic inner decor items, try to think about how they would fit into space. It is alright opting for visually consuming art if you don't mind it being the focus of the attention. However, if you already have furniture and art pieces that are eye-catching, it is better to opt for something more subtle. This is also the case when gifting someone an arty decor item. Try to imagine it in their space (if you know what their space looks like). If you aren't sure of their home decor, just try to choose some art that suits their personal style.
ART PRINTS AND ACRYLIC BLOCKS
Art prints and acrylic blocks are a fabulous gift option for art lovers. Bellow I selected a few paintings that could potentially make for nice NY gift options. As I said, when choosing an art print or an acrylic block, try to consider the taste of the receiver. How do you like these art prints?
PILLOWS
If watching home make over shows has taught me anything, that's the importance of pillows. In a way, pillows are an accessory to our furniture. In a same way that a fantastic necklace can liven up our outfit, so can a pillow make a room come to life. That is why I would argue that pillows are a pretty safe decor gift idea. Everyone loves pillows, right? A fun pillow can be a fun way to spice up a room. Plus, if the person who receives it doesn't find a place for it in his or his living room, they can always find a place for it somewhere. A person can't have enough pillows, right? Do you like pillows? Do you use them for decor purposes? If yes, what kind of pillows do you like?
STATIONARY
Stationary can be a neat New Year present as well. Lots of people like stationary. I'm certainly one of them. I like to keep journals, scrap books, diaries and all kind of things. So, I'm always on a look out for cute notebooks and things like that. As a lover of art, I love arty ones. Bellow you can see my artistic selection of notebooks, postcards, greeting cards and hardcover journals.
NOTEBOOKS, HARDCOVER JOURNALS, POSTCARDS AND GREETING CARDS
MUGS
Mugs are another cute gift option. Travel mugs or ordinary ones, they both make for lovely gift options. Mugs are a fantastic gift option for coffee or tea lovers. When it comes to caffeine and tea addicts, if you manage to pick the perfect mug for them, you can be certain they will think of you often.
CLOCKS
Timing is everything they say. Since timing is so important, so it knowing what time it is. An unique arty wall clock might prove a winning gift idea. Do you keep a wall clock in your home? If yes, in what style? What kind of clocks do you like? What do you think about arty clocks?
CLOTHES AND FASHION ACCESSORIES
Clothes and fashion accessories can make for wonderful gifting ideas as well. Bellow you can find some T-shirt, tote bags and studio pouches I think would make for good gifts. That would be all for today. Thank you for reading. Enjoy your New Year shopping.
These are so great love them. I really love the pillow with the girl and the skull scarf.

thank you dear, I loved drawing that girl.
DeleteThese are great gift ideas! I like how you layered your dress too :) We don't do new years gifts here but we go big for Christmas - in my family we love gifting a lot, even if our budget is small, we wrap up lots of little things! :)
ReplyDeleteHope that you had a wonderful Christmas :) It was a busy but fun one here as I hosted it this year for my family. Now we are enjoying some quiet time at home and eating lots of delicious leftovers, and I'm doing a little bit of blog reading after my break from blogging for a few days!
Away From The Blue Blog

DeleteWhere I live there is no tradition of giving gifts for the New Years Eve, but my moms birthday is comming up and I will definitely gift her some cool pillow sets. I love when the couch is accessorized with cute little pillows (preferably of different shade of the same colour) so your tip is great. I really like the clock as well, it is one of those statement pieces that can completely change the entire interior.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!

ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteYou have suggested lots of good ideas for presents and they are nice ways to display your work. I have been trying to avoid giving people unnecessary plastic this year for gifts so I would probably avoid any gifts that use plastic that might eventually end up in landfill- it's quite hard actually!!x
ReplyDelete¡Por supuesto! Además de estos increíbles regalos, pueden ser las gorras.
