In short: if you are not sure which colours or caps someone uses, go for something every writer can use or wants on the shelf. Think caps, stickers, a limited edition can, a book or a print. Really in doubt? A gift card always hits the mark. Below you will find ideas per budget, from a small extra under €10 to a gift someone enjoys for years.
The holidays are coming and there is a writer on your list. Fun, but also tricky. Which colour does he not have yet? Does she work with high or low pressure? And what exactly is a skinny cap? No worries. We have been painting ourselves for years, so we know what disappears into a writer's bag and what stays on the shelf. With these tips you are sorted.
Take a quick look first: what does the person already use?
The best graffiti gifts fit what someone already does. Take a peek in their bag or on their shelf. Mostly cans from one brand? Markers and a blackbook lying around? Then you know straight away which way to go. Can't find out? Pick something that does not depend on colour or brand, like caps, stickers, a book or a print. Or send us a message and we will think along with you.
