Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandma who has an affinity for digital art and illustration, I have a few gift ideas that will surely bring a smile to her face and nurture her creative passion.

1. Graphic Tablet: Consider gifting her a high-quality graphic tablet. This device would allow her to directly draw on the screen using a pen-like stylus, providing a seamless and natural drawing experience. Look for models that are user-friendly and offer precision. Wacom Intuos or Huion Kamvas are popular options with different sizes and features to choose from.

2. Digital Art Software: Enhance her creative toolkit by gifting her a subscription to a digital art software, such as Adobe Creative Cloud or Corel Painter. These programs offer a wide range of tools and features that will allow her to experiment, create, and polish her digital art skills.

3. Online Art Classes: Help your grandma further develop her digital art skills by enrolling her in online art classes. Websites like Udemy and Skillshare offer a variety of courses taught by professional artists, covering various aspects of digital art, from beginner to advanced levels. You can also look for specialized courses in illustration or specific art styles that she enjoys.

4. Digital Art Accessories: Consider gifting her accessories that would complement her digital art practice. Some ideas include a screen protector to reduce glare and protect the tablet's surface, a stylus holder for easy access, or a tablet stand for comfortable drawing angles. These small but practical gifts can enhance her overall art experience and convenience.

5. Customized Merchandise: Turn her artwork into tangible and personalized gifts. Many printing services allow you to create custom merchandise like mugs, mouse pads, and phone cases. Choose some of her favorite digital illustrations and have them printed on these items, creating unique gifts that celebrate her talent and creativity.

6. Digital Art Books: Gift her books on digital art and illustration to inspire her and broaden her horizons. There are many publications available that showcase the works of renowned digital artists or provide tutorials and tips for mastering different techniques. Some popular titles include "Digital Painting Techniques" by 3dtotal Publishing and "The Art of Loish: A Look Behind the Scenes" by Loish.

7. Art Display and Storage: Help her organize and showcase her digital art by gifting her a digital frame or external hard drive. A digital frame will allow her to display her artwork on rotation, while an external hard drive will provide ample space to store her digital files securely.

Remember, the best gift is one that reflects your grandma's passion and shows your thoughtfulness. Combine any of these ideas with a heartfelt note or a personal touch to make it even more special.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
