This year, skip the generic. Seek out the unique, the handmade, the weird and wonderful. Buy a comic book, a print, a piece of art that speaks to you. Give something with soul.

A cartoon illustration showing a witch dressed as Santa Claus holding a mug and standing next to a black cat dressed as a reindeer and the Grim Reaper decorated with Christmas lights, with a decorated Christmas tree in the background. The text reads "Give Art. Not Stuff."
A cartoon showing a small orange bird or creature perched on top of a Christmas tree with neutral expression. The tree has a simple face drawn on it. Text above reads: "Christmas is the season of stuff: cheap, forgettable things churned out in mass-production and destined for landfills. But what if, instead, we gave something that actually matters?"
The same Christmas tree character from the previous image, now shown with an angry expression and a speech bubble saying "He shat on my head again, didn't he?" The small orange bird flies away. Text reads: "Art isn't mass-produced. It doesn't come from Amazon or big-box stores. It comes from real people: artists who pour their hearts into what they create, who stay up late perfecting their craft. When you buy art, you're not just buying a thing. You're supporting someone's passion, not funding some soulless billionaire who can't even appreciate a good bowl of soup."
A cartoon showing a black cat sitting on top of a robot character, getting hit in the face with a snowball thrown by a dog in the distance. The word "BOOOF" appears in stylized text near the impact. A crescent moon is visible in the upper left corner. Text above reads: "And not only that. People who are getting art as presents, are scientifically proven 300% more happy with the gift!"
