Easter Sweets and Art Supplies as Treats!

As Easter approaches, many of us find ourselves in search of the perfect basket fillers for loved ones, whether for family gatherings or small, thoughtful gifts. This year, we at The Art Store have a fun twist on tradition—why not fill your Easter basket with something that sparks creativity and nurtures artistic passion? Yes, that’s right—art supplies!

We know, we know. Candy is a must! But we believe that art supplies alongside candy makes the most delightful and thoughtful gift combination. Whether you’re adding a touch of luxury to the basket, embracing colorful fun, or celebrating a more natural, organic vibe, we have the perfect artistic complement to your favorite Easter treats. Let’s dive into a few ideas to elevate your Easter gifting.

For the Luxury Chocolate Enthusiast: Da Vinci Maestro Brush

If the recipient is someone who enjoys indulging in the finest, most decadent chocolate (perhaps a luxury gourmet truffle or a dark chocolate with hints of sea salt), why not pair it with something equally refined? The Da Vinci Maestro Kolinsky Sable Brush is the perfect companion. Known for its impeccable craftsmanship, this brush is made with real Kolinsky sable bristles and features a polished, elegant handle. It’s the ideal gift for the discerning artist who appreciates the finer things in life—both on the palette and in their Easter basket.

For Fans of Colorful Candy: POSCA Markers

Brightly colored jellybeans, pastel-coated chocolates, or vibrant gummies—these treats are the essence of fun and creativity. For those who love a pop of color in their Easter basket, consider adding a set of POSCA Markers. These vibrant markers are a favorite among artists, crafters, and designers alike. The colors are vivid, and the versatility is unmatched- you can use them on almost ANY surface! Whether the recipient enjoys doodling, illustrating, or customizing their own creations, POSCA Markers bring a playful and bold touch to their artistic endeavors.

For the Nature-Inspired Candy Lovers: Hahnemühle Agave Watercolor Paper

For those who favor a more natural, earthy approach to their sweets—think crunchy granola, seaweed snacks, or organic fruit chews—why not introduce them to something equally authentic and inspired by nature? The Hahnemühle Agave Watercolor Paper is crafted with sustainability in mind and offers a beautiful surface for watercolor painting. Made with genuine agave fibers, this premium paper is a perfect match for anyone who enjoys nature-inspired creations and prefers to use eco-friendly materials. Paired with their favorite nature-infused candy, this set is bound to inspire creative flow.

For Little Artists (or Those Young at Heart): Art Supplies for All Ages

No Easter basket is complete without a little something for the young (or the young at heart). If your recipient is a budding artist—or if you're looking to inspire an artistic spirit—our Kids’ Art Supplies section has everything you need. From washable paints and playful sketchpads to fun sets of beeswax crayons and beginner-friendly brushes, we have products designed to nurture creativity in child artists from age 2 to 102! After all, art has no age limit, and whether the gift is for a child or an adult rediscovering their artistic side, we believe creativity is timeless!
