The most wonderful time of the year can also be hectic and stressful, especially when it comes to finding gifts for everyone on your list. You’re in luck – the Cincinnati Art Museum Shop is your one-stop spot for unique, art-inspired presents to please even the pickiest of people. Gift to your friends and loved ones, or keep them for yourself (we won’t tell).

2) Ties

Nothing makes a statement like a one-of-a-kind tie. Mix and match colors and patterns to create a sophisticated look for your next holiday gathering. We think this tie from Fox & Chave is A+.

It’s never too early to introduce children to the world of art. Shop art-tastic stuffed animals, puppets, books, mobiles, puzzles and more. We’re obsessed with these Blockitecture architect building blocks from Area Ware.
