With the holidays around the corner, there is no better place to find unique gifts than the Art Basel Shop at Art Basel Miami Beach. Featuring a range of limited-edition and artist-designed products, high-quality yet quirky home goods, the best additions to any bookshelf, and more, this guide will help you find the perfect gift for everyone on your list.

Gifts under USD 50

For the young artist

As part of a series of editions created specifically for Art Basel Miami Beach, Brazilian artist Paulo Nimer Pjota has designed a set of crayons. Drawing played a big role in Pjota’s childhood, and with these crayons you can pass on that ethos to the younger generations in your own life.

Paulo Nimer Pjota x Art Basel crayons: $20.

For happy feet

The space between one’s shoe and the hem of one’s pants is important fashion real estate. For those who like to use that space to make a subtle statement, check out the limited-edition Art Basel tube socks. For those who make this space the focal point of their outfit, we recommend a pair of socks covered with a print of Andy Warhol’s 192 One Dollar Bills (1962), created and produced by the Brant Foundation on occasion of their Warhol exhibition in 2023.

Art Basel tube socks: $25. Brant Foundation x Andy Warhol socks: $22.

For the game enthusiast

Whether for a golfer, a card shark, or a domino master, Art Basel is releasing three products that are sure to be the envy of everyone on the course or at the table: a set of two golf balls and tees; a deck of playing cards in collaboration with Bicycle; and a set of dominoes. Each is specially designed with logos in Art Basel Miami Beach’s signature green and will only be available at the shop.

Art Basel golf balls and tees: $25. Art Basel x Bicycle playing cards: $25. Art Basel dominoes: $20.

For the mug collector

When served in a limited-edition mug designed by French street artist and photographer JR, coffee is accompanied by a thought-provoking conversation prompt. The black mug, created for Art Basel Miami Beach, is emblazoned with fading white dots and the big question: ‘Can art change the world?’ For those who tend to wake up on the proverbial wrong side of the bed, look no further than a mug designed by David Shrigley, which features three jumping dolphins saying ‘fuck.’

JR x Art Basel mug: $25. David Shrigley x Brainbox Candy mug: $17.

For the gifts themselves

Make a statement before a gift is even opened with this pink tape. With ‘ART’ written in white, any creatively inclined recipient will know you have their interests in mind no matter what is underneath the wrapping.

Art Basel tape: $10.

Gifts under $150

For the carryall carrier

Tote bags are beloved for a reason, but not all totes are created equal. Upgrade a loved-one’s tired carryall with the gift of a durable, limited-edition nylon tote featuring a reproduction of a painting by Paulo Nimer Pjota. Other artist-designed totes are also available from Parley, featuring the works of Pipilotti Rist, Jenny Holzer, and Walter Ford. If a simpler graphic is what you’re after, check out Art Basel’s pink tote with the word ‘ART’ repeated three times – a heritage reference to an Art Basel billboard from 1989.

Paulo Nimer Pjota x Art Basel tote: $80. Parley totes: $50. Art Basel pink tote: $90.

For the homebody

A magazine and creative studio founded and run by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, Toiletpaper also designs and produces products with contemporary flair. For those who like cozy winters at home but have an eye for playful designs and ecofriendly home goods, we recommend the brand’s three candles. Each scent – fig and lavender; jasmine and sage; vanilla and Sichuan pepper – comes in a glass tumbler painted with a cheeky image that will make you look twice and is made with 100% recyclable materials, including a pure cotton wick.

Toiletpaper scented candle: $80.

For the budding fashionista

Perfect for the children in your life who like stylish tees (or the parents who like dressing them) is the first-ever Art Basel kid’s T-shirt, featuring a colorful ‘Art Art Art’ heritage logo. The pink, blue, and green lettering pops against the shirt’s white cotton, with the graphic’s style referencing an Art Basel billboard from 1989.

Art Basel kid’s T-shirt: $50.

For an arty holiday table setting or tree

Spruce up this season’s collection of ornaments or table setting with a paintbrush, a palette, a bottle of ink, a pencil, and other art supplies – all handmade in soft felt with adorable smiling faces. Sure to bring new warmth and charm to any home for the holidays, this cute gift set was conceived by artist Lucy Sparrow and her company Sew Your Soul.

Lucy Sparrow ­– Sew Your Soul art materials holiday decoration gift set: $96.

For the bibliophile

For the day-tripper or overnighter
