A thoughtful birthday gift for your friend who loves watercolor could be something that enhances their creativity and enriches their artistic experience. Here are some ideas that could be just perfect:

1. **High-quality Watercolor Paint Set**: Upgrade their current setup with a set of professional-grade watercolor paints. This can be an exciting gift for someone who loves to experiment with new colors and techniques. Brands like Winsor & Newton or Daniel Smith offer vibrant and long-lasting pigments.

2. **Personalized Watercolor Palette**: Consider gifting a custom-made watercolor palette with their name or initials engraved on it. This personal touch can make painting sessions feel even more special and unique to them.

3. **Watercolor Paper Block**: Artist-grade watercolor paper can make a significant difference in the quality and appearance of their artwork. Cold-pressed and in a range of sizes, they’ll surely appreciate the upgrade.

6. **Watercolor Techniques Book**: Find a beautifully illustrated book that dives into advanced techniques or explores the works of renowned watercolor artists. This can serve as an endless source of inspiration for your friend.

7. **Portable Watercolor Kit for Travel**: If they love to paint on-the-go, a compact and portable watercolor set would be ideal. Some kits even come with a water brush pen and are specifically designed for travel or outdoor painting sessions.

8. **Custom Watercolor Portrait**: Commission a local artist to create a watercolor portrait of your friend or a pet/scene that holds sentimental value to them. This heartfelt gift will surely be cherished for years to come.

9. **Subscription to an Art Box Service**: Sign them up for a subscription box that delivers unique art supplies and project ideas right to their doorstep each month. This can be a fun way for them to explore new materials and techniques.

10. **Art Print of Their Favorite Artist**: Find a high-quality print of a work by a watercolor artist they admire. Frame it beautifully so that it becomes a centerpiece in their creative space.

Each of these gifts is designed to show thought and understanding of your friend’s passion, offering them not only quality tools but also new opportunities to nurture their love for watercolor art.
