Just as art itself, “Art Oracles: Creative Life Inspiration from Great Artists” by Katya Tylevich and Mikkel Sommer is fun and (a bit) mystical. Each card is meant to combat creative blocks or simply boredom, by giving humorous yet profound advice inspired by the life of artists.

…and if the oracles don’t inspire you, turn to the Gold Muses by Pansy Ass Ceramics. Irreverent and (slightly) outrageous, their collection surely will fire up your gift list.
