The gift guide: coloring books for every kind of person

A coloring book is a good gift for the same reason a good notebook is: it is an invitation rather than an obligation. The trick is matching the subject matter to how the person actually likes to spend an evening.

For the gardener, pair the Midnight Garden printed edition with the Wildflower Sketch Mug. For the list-maker, the Weekly Planner Set plus a fine-liner set does more work than either alone.

If you are shopping late, digital printables arrive instantly — buy, forward the email, and it still counts as thoughtful.
