Art - The Answer for the "Hard to Buy For" Question

You love them dearly but they sure do stress you out around gift buying season. Who am I talking about? That hard to buy for person on your list. Fortunately, art is a great way to please someone with something they will enjoy for years to come and you have so many choices when it comes to making a gift of art.

Fine Art Prints are the Bomb

Let's talk fine art prints as gifts. There are so many amazing choices. Major artists like Thomas Kinkade, Terry Redlin, Robert Duncan and Pino all have limited edition prints. Many people begin collecting art from getting their interest peaked in an artist or a particular style of art by getting a gift. The beautify of a limited edition is only so many are made in a series, the artist is usually involved from start to finish and they are usually signed by the artist.

It's not like someone slapped a completed painting on a copy machine and sent you the print out. It's a lot more involved than that and you're not limited to getting a print on paper, often there are prints produced on canvas. It's fun to watch the market year after year and see if your limited edition grows in value, often they do.

Designer Decor 
For the ultra-hard to please on your gift giving list, that is also a lover of designer decor - consider the fantastic productions out of Paragon. From living rooms to kitchens to all rooms in between (including kids) there is a Paragon design to suit every taste. See the huge number of selections Paragon offers in our showcase.

Sculpture Lovers
A sculpture makes a fantastic gift and there is literally something for every taste in our gallery. From religious to fantasy to western to bronze and more. 

If you have someone that collects frogs - you can find a sculpture to make their eyes bright and their smile huge as they unwrap your gift of art. This Mark Hopkins sculpture "Found a Frog" is a great example of the humor in his work.
