Stumped on what to get for those tough cases on your list this year? Here are great ideas to help you brainstorm for something that is truly unique to give to your loved ones. From Grandpa who appreciates collectibles to the creative youth in your family, all of these categories are Santa approved and easy to find at Seaside Art Gallery. Let’s take a look.
People are paying closer attention to what they shop and where it comes from now more than ever. When you give fine art from Seaside Art Gallery that was made by a local Outer Banks artist, you (and the recipient) can feel good knowing that you supported a local artist and a local art gallery at the same time. This gorgeous Marlin intarsia wood inlay sculpture is a thoughtful reflection of the coastal Outer Banks culture, and it’s made in the USA.
Believe it or not, estate jewelry is the unsung hero of sustainable gift giving. Not only does estate jewelry save the earth’s current resources, it tends to be more durable and crafted in higher quality. You can find estate jewelry for men as well as for women. Your loved one will take note of this thoughtful gift for many years to come.
Desperate for ideas to satisfy that coworker at the office party or Secret Santa on your gift list? These porcelain Disney ornaments are new arrivals, and they are absolutely cute. There are a variety of characters to choose from, and are great stocking stuffers, too. Best of all, they’re officially licensed high quality Disney items.
Miniature art is a great place to start if you’re new to gifting original art. These little gems are only a few inches in size, making them easy to display, arrange, and store. Their small size also makes them affordable compared to larger traditional sized pieces. This wide art genre features many different subjects that suit a variety of personal tastes. If you’re looking for a specific theme, ask the Seaside Art Gallery staff to help you find it.
If you’re looking for a truly special holiday gift for your loved one, an animation cel is an excellent investment that can be responsibly passed down the generations. Imagine the look on a child’s face when they realize they now own a piece of their favorite animated show. The appreciation will only grow with them as they get older and cherish an important heirloom of animation history.
From paintings to sculptures and everything in between, you’ll discover even more gift ideas on Seaside Art Gallery’s website. Thousands of treasures await you for the young and old on your holiday list. You can shop online or order over the phone now. Happy Holidays!

One of an artist’s greatest achievements is depicting the mastery of light in paintings. There’s no such thing as a pigment in “light” color, so painters must diligently express the illusion of light by employing a complexity of colors that depict placements of shadows, sunny areas, reflections, and so on to the naked eye.
Majestic and awe-inspiring, Lorraine Dey’s acrylic paintings harness nature’s extraordinary moments on the canvas. Her award winning work is showcased far and wide in the United States, Canada, and even Finland.
Sometimes, depicting the mastery of light and shadow in art isn’t as serious as a Rembrandt. It can be fun, too! Tony Craig’s artistic vision reveals a memorable impression about light.
