The Metropolitan Museum of Art

• Gifting to an art connoisseur can feel like a lofty task, especially when considering their eye for taste.
• Thankfully, The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a worthy selection of gifts inspired by the art found in the museum.
• For its 150th anniversary, The Met has collaborated with some of our favorite brands — including Allbirds, Baggu, and The Sill — to create a unique line of gifts fit for the artist in your life.

Buying gifts for the artsy-fartsy souls in our lives can be a mystifying experience. They're impossible to buy clothes for, and the run of the mill gift card or Kindle is far too pedestrian.

But thank goodness, The Metropolitan Museum of Art is, as always, at your service and to the rescue. Not only do you have the museum's typical selection of gifts at your disposal, but The Met's 150th anniversary edit features collaborations with some of our tried and true favorite retailers like Allbirds and The Sill. If you're anything like me, that should come as a tremendous relief.

We've rounded up gifts for all age groups, tastes, and interests, so rest easy, my Philistine (and otherwise lost) friends, we (and The Met) are here for you.
