How to find the perfect gift idea for a traveler ? Not sure where to start ? The following tips can help :
Define your budget
Even if you want to give the most striking painting in the collection, it all depends on your budget. Art is accessible to all wallets.
To narrow your search, we recommend using the filter application. This option allows you to define a specific budget. For example, you are ready to buy a painting between 105 and 250 euros.
By applying this filter, all the paintings offered in this price range will be displayed. All you have to do is select the one that the recipient of the gift might like.
Identify the person's tastes
Few gifts are as symbolic as a work of art. Yet, giving art to a traveler may seem intimidating. Will the person appreciate it?
If you've known the person for years, you may have some clues. But if you have little information about the person, it's best to stick to a gift card. As impersonal as it is, it reduces the chances that the person won't appreciate your gift.
Study their interior
This is an essential step. After all, your gift will be adorning the recipient's wall. If the recipient's home is classic and traditional in style, it's best to stick with noble materials like oil paint.
In a modern interior, technical materials such as resin and acrylic can easily find their place. Don't hesitate to use the color filter to get an overview of the paintings whose dominant color harmonizes with the interior decoration.
Does he have a favorite genre ?
If the person appreciates art, your task becomes easier. This is already a clue to their favorite style or painter. Be careful, you must do some research to determine if he or she does not already own the work you wish to offer.
GIVE A GIFT TO A DISTANT PERSON
It is now easy to send a package, even if it is a gift. A painting on canvas can be shipped to any city at an affordable price.
If you decide to give a work of art as a gift, consider an art gallery. This option allows you to ship the package directly to the recipient. This will save you a few dollars in shipping costs. Do not hesitate to specify in your order that it is a present. Thus, the gallery can take more care of the packaging.
At Carré d'Artistes, there are other gift ideas for a traveler. For example, you can order a gift card. In addition, you can direct your choice towards sculpture.
