Picking the Perfect Gift for the Outdoors-Lover On Your List

November 24, 2019 Courtney Rios 1

Finding art that speaks to you is a personal experience, making it somewhat tricky picking something that speaks to someone else. A tip to consider is rather than thinking of what to give a loved one, try thinking “where.” Whether it’s a national park, a remote beach, or a bustling city, there’s bound to be a place your loved one adores — and there’s guaranteed to be art inspired by it.

Nature

Nature is a sight to behold. For those who can’t always experience it, the next best thing is to appreciate it through art. There’s an infinite amount of art inspired by our planet’s natural beauty. From mountains and lakes to forests and flowers, help your loved one bring the outdoors in with art representing their favorite natural wonder.

Beaches

One of the most sought-after destinations on Earth is a beach. A perfect way to appreciate memorable summer days or family vacations is with art that transports you to the sand, sky, and sea. There are gorgeous depictions of beaches in art that can bring those breezy vibes to your loved one’s space.

Cities

Though it’s the opposite of natural, the world’s greatest cities are man-made marvels nonetheless. Whether it’s the city they hail from or just one they love to frequent, city-inspired art is a great way to help your loved one represent that treasured place at home.

NASA

Few things are more awe-inspiring than our Earth, with the exception of the vast cosmos beyond it. Celestial bodies have a unique and mesmerizing beauty that only a few brave souls are lucky enough to take flight and explore. Luckily, NASA has captured plenty of scenes for space lovers to enjoy.

Animals

Perhaps it’s wildlife that truly captures your outdoorsy person’s heart instead of just the scenery. Wolves, bison, elephants, and other majestic creatures have a mystifying beauty that only lives outdoors. Giving your loved one art inspired by their favorite wild animal is a great way to help them bring home art (and creatures) they love!
