Hello! I thought I save you some time sifting around for Christmas gift ideas. We all enjoy spoiling our loved ones, here's my top picks from Stocking Stuffers to Something Super Special.
What's new?
There's a couple of new things for you this Christmas. I've just added 4 new little birds to my flock, both the originals and limited edition prints are available now. I love these little birds, they are all small Australian birds and I plan to add a few new ones here and there as I go. This new set include a grey fantail, red-browed finch, golden whistler and flame robin.
I've also created Christmas Card and Tag Packs. There's two to choose from and each has a selection of full-size cards, mini card and tags setting you up just perfectly for Christmas gifting. View these here.
Something Super Special
Original artworks make for wonderful, thoughtful gifts - especially when you find just the perfect one. For the first time in a long time I have an extensive list of available artworks with a range of sizing and pricing to suit your budget. This includes the 4 new little birds I mentioned as well as some pieces from this year's Ramble series along with a selection of others. You can view them here.
For the Watercolour Enthusiast
If you know someone who has maybe done a few of my online courses, or just really getting into their painting you can't go past the range of Polina Bright watercolour brushes. They are the bees knees. I'm fortunate enough to be an ambassador for these brushes and Polina has provided me a discount code for my students. Use the code natalie_martin at the checkout to receive 10% off.
For the Budding Artist
If you know someone looking to explore their creativity, young or old, then my online course and painting kit bundle is the way to go. The beginners bundle includes enrolment in my Welcome to Watercolour online course as well as the beginners painting kit. When purchased as a gift everything gets mailed out in one box, with instructions on how to enrol yourself as well as all the materials you need to get started.
If they are a bit beyond the fundamentals of watercolour stage, I have four other online courses worth exploring. For the intermediate painter there is The Magic of Colour Mixing and Lessons in Layering with Watercolour. For the intermediate-advanced painter there is Compose Paint Create Parts 1 and 2.
The All-Rounder
My 2024 calendar is the perfect solution for those hard to buy for people. Think your partner's aunty, your friendly neighbour next door, your kids' teacher, the co-worker you don't know particularly well but got in the work KK. Calendar stock is starting to dwindle too, so order yours now to avoid disappointment.
This years calendar was inspired by bush wanderings and wildflower spotting on the beautiful coast I call home. It is printing in Melbourne on 100% post consumer waste and each month features a different idea to upcycle the calendar once you are finished with it.
The Just-A-Little-Something
My collaboration with Huxter soaps has exploded into a beautiful and large range of beautiful triple-milled soaps. Wrapped and ready to go, these are the perfect just-a-little-something gesture. Did I mention they smell divine too?
And finally, the Thoughtful Gesture
My most popular floral series to date is the A Year in Bloom series, it features the Australian native birth flowers. There's a unique flower representing each month and they are available in A4 and A3 prints as well as greeting cards. Each flower holds a special meaning, for example December's birth flower is the Waratah and it holds meanings of courage and love.
Each print is archival quality, printed on beautiful textured paper. There's an embossed stamp in the corner and each print is individually signed. They also come with a little card with the meaning of the flower on it.
I hope you've enjoyed my top Christmas picks as much as I've enjoyed bringing them together for you!
