Give confidently.
These ten Quick Picks have been red-hot with our creative customers this year, so we know they'll make perfect gifts. Most of these items are hard to find in U.S. shops, and some are brand-new to the market. That means your friends & family probably don't have them already.
This holiday's Quick Picks range from less than $30 to $180—the most popular price points for gifts. Looking for something bigger? Check out our list of Signature Gifts for 2022. Looking for something smaller? We've got crowd-pleasing Stocking Stuffers for days.
Three special sets. No wrong answers.
Schmincke is among the very finest artist color manufacturers in the world. Every year, they surprise us with new sets for the holidays, and the three special options for 2022 are at the top of our list.
For passionate artists, there's the Ultimate Mixing Set, with an unusual selection of modern mixing colors and a case with additional space—so they can customize it further. For travelers, there's the new Akademie Slim Set, with twelve colors arranged in a single, slim row. And for absolutely anyone, there's the highly complete, pleasingly weighty, specially designed Akademie Holiday Set with 24 colors.
Horadam Watercolors, Ultimate Mixing Set (2022 Limited Edition)
Nine specially selected watercolors for modern mixing, presented in a sleek carrying case with space for nine more. Schmincke worked with New Zealand artist Evan Woodruffe to pick these surprising mixing colors, capable of a wide range of colors and textures when combined.
Akademie Watercolors, Slim Set of 12
This travel set goes everywhere and stands out. It's filled with Schmincke Akademie, the excellent and hard-to-find student-grade watercolor from the German color giants. Akademie is more affordable than Horadam, but it still offers saturated color and outstanding technical performance.
Akademie Watercolors, Special Set of 24
This is the full 24-color Akademie line, all in one special-edition tin. These brightly colored gift sets have become a holiday tradition for Schmincke, and our customers always seem to prefer them to the standard black.
Everyone needs a TOYO.
We can hardly count the number of TOYO steel toolboxes we've personally given as gifts since we started stocking them a couple years ago. You can instantly feel how well-made a TOYO toolbox is—it's heavyweight steel, deep-drawn from a single sheet with no welds or weak spots.
And—in perfect time for holiday gifts—we've never had more colors in stock! Especially recommended is the limited-edition Japanese Indigo finish, featuring hand-applied white speckles that are different on every box.
Every hair in place.
Handmade by skilled artisans in Tuscany, Tintoretto travel brushes are perfectly shaped and beautifully set in metal travel handles that turn into caps for storage. We have Tintoretto's springy, precise synthetic sable and their soft, absorbent synthetic squirrel.
For holiday giving, we enthusiastically recommend the sets, nestled in gorgeous cherry wood boxes with magnetic closures.

Write with joy.
Kakimori, which started as a stationery retailer in Tokyo, has quickly become the world's most innovative pen manufacturer. While others simply introduce new colors, Kakimori has created entirely new nib designs and made old-school dip pens a viable option for writers and artists.
Each of these gorgeous gift sets includes a Kakimori dip pen (either the fountain-pen-like Pen Nib or the conical, futuristic Stainless Nib), plus a coordinated selection of accessories to make it useful on Day One.
For serious writing.

Kaweco Student Fountain Pen, Black ($60+)
Ergonomically shaped, pleasantly balanced, and fitted with your choice of Kaweco steel ($60) or 14K gold ($229) nib. Student is designed for long writing sessions without skipping, scratching, or hand fatigue. It can hold a full-size converter, so you don't need to replace the ink as often.

Kaweco Student Fountain Pen, Transparent ($60+)
The transparent Student is made from the same parts and materials as the black, but the clear body highlights the metal grip and nib. Unlike other transparent pens, Student uses high-quality acrylic that doesn't cloud over time or scratch easily.
