We’re thrilled that museums and galleries have been able to safely reopen (we’re also loving the virtual exhibitions we’re visiting from a distance) and we’ve been soaking up art online and IRL every chance we get. Since new art = new ideas, we’ve channeled that into retail inspiration for our October store update.

Along with our new Membership Program, shopping from our store is a great way to support Hyperallergic and independent arts journalism.

We hope this list helps spark insight for your holiday giving plans this season!

Garden in Sochi Socks

One of our favorite art-inspired socks is this wearable adaptation of Arshile Gorky’s “Garden in Sochi,” reimagined for a knitted canvas. Make sure to check out the rest of the collection to get as gifts for your favorite art nerds: each pair features a different masterpiece from the archives of art history.

Ruler of My Destiny Tea Towel

Become the ruler of your destiny with this pretty-in-pink tea towel featuring an original illustration by queer multidisciplinary artist Frances Cannon. For more positive vibes, tender drawings, and thoughtful takes on self-love, sexuality, and identity, peruse our other products by Cannon.

Louise Bourgeois Notecards

The 18 cards in this cloth-covered keepsake boxed set feature works from the 1999 series What Is the Shape of This Problem? by Louise Bourgeois. For other artful means of delivering a touch of culture to a loved one’s mailbox, browse our pop-up cards and stationery sets.

Catometti Enamel Pin

"Unicorn in Captivity" Scarf

One of medieval art history’s most beloved tapestries, part of the permanent collection at the Met Cloisters, is now available in our store in pin and patch form, but our favorite interpretation has to be this large-scale silk twill scarf. Wrap it around thyself to become the best-dressed guest at the castle!

Guerrilla Girls Tote Bag

Use it as a tote or wear it as a mask! For when you need to carry something but also be ready to fight the patriarchy at any moment, this tote by intersectional feminist activist artist group Guerrilla Girls will do the trick. Shop the collection for more ferocious gift ideas!

"Composition" Patch

Does this embroidered patch appeal to your sense of De Stijl? Then you’ll definitely appreciate the rest of our Mondrian-inspired products, which cleverly riff on Neoplasticism with a variety of wearable options.

Marguerita Mergentime Cloth Napkins

Based on a pattern by American textile designer Marguerita Mergentime, these napkins are formatted so that four different graphic effects can be achieved depending on how they’re folded. Available in both cool and warm colors, the set complements any of the items our Home Goods collection.
