If someone on your holiday shopping list has become a colorist in adult coloring books we have great ideas for stocking stuffers for your coloring friends and family. (Or send this link if people ask what YOU want!)
Top Stocking Stuffers for Colorists of Adult Coloring Books
Artist Stocking Stuffers for Artists at Blick Art Materials
We love shopping at Blick’s for art supplies because they are a human owned business where people answer the phone and emails and help with any customer service problems. They ship quickly and everything is well packed. I’m trying to support businesses like this as much as possible. The other advantage to Blick’s is that you can purchase one color of an item you’d like to try out instead of buying the entire pricy set. You’ll find the prices to be quite competitive to big online sellers.
Coloring Gifts for Under $5
Blender Pencils for colored pencil blending
Art Erasers for Coloring Books
- Prismacolor 3 piece eraser set, Kneadable, Artgum & Plastic
- 2 Faber Castell Kneadable Erasers
- Tombow MONO Sand Eraser – This eraser works well, particularly on heavier paper
- Tombow MONO Zero Eraser & Refill, come in round and square and are perfect for tiny detail repairs.
- Helix White Erasers – Great for tiny spaces
- Pentel 3 pack retractable eraser I really love these to get into tiny spaces and since they are shaped like a pencil you can stash them in your pencil wrap so they are easier to find.
Pencil Sharpeners
Other than the Kum Sharpeners, it is sometimes best to match your brand of pencils to the sharpener. It’s also a good idea to sharpen a regular #2 pencil in your colored pencil sharpeners to clean off the residue from the blades and sharpen them a bit. Also if you have a 2 or 3 hole sharpener and you only use one size most of the time, you can switch the blades on most of these nicer ones.
- Kum Sharpener (My favorite by a mile)
- Kum 2 Hole Sharpener
- Staedtler Metal 2 Hole Sharpener
- Staedtler Sharpener
- Faber Castell Sharpener

Pencil Sharpeners (If your pencils are breaking it could be your sharpener!)
- Kum Pencil Sharpener with Waste Container
- Prismacolor Pencil Sharpener (I broke the top of off this and could never get it open to empty so I recently tossed it. It is probably just me but I personally don’t like this sharpener even though many swear by it)
- T-Gaal Adjustable Angle Pencil Sharpener
Coloring Supply Stocking Stuffers
- Derwent Pencil extender pack of 2 (This brings more life to the pencils that you have used the most)

Zippered Pencil Case
Stocking Stuffer Splurge
Electric Pencil Sharpener
If you have a little more cash to spend on that someone special for their stocking, here are some items that I would LOVE to see in my stocking. This electric pencil sharpener has 3 different sharpness settings, can run on battery, USB or electricity and has an LED that lets you know when your pencil is sharpened so it doesn’t over sharpen it.

Derwent Pencil Case, Canvas Carry-All Bag Pencil Holder with Removable Shoulder Strap, Holds up to 132 Pencils and Supplies
If your colorist has a whole bunch of pencils, then this Derwent Canvas Pencil Bag is ideal. It holds at least 132 pencils depending on how thick they are, markers, gel pens, you name it plus there is room for a small coloring book or sketch pad and a zippered pocket to hold the erasers, sharpers etc. This is my go out in public pack of pencils and every slot is full but there’s still plenty of room for my sketch pad.

U.S. Art Supply 4 Drawer Wood Artist Supply Storage Box
This won’t fit in the stocking but it would be an exciting gift to open from under the tree. A 4 drawer colored pencil organizer. If your coloring addicted person likes to work from a desk then this would be a dream come true. If they like to color on the go then the pencil bags and wraps are probably better. This comes in a 3 drawer as well but with the 4 drawer markers & gel pens could have a spot too. This brand is recommended by colorists worldwide. Click to Order Amazon US, UK or Canada
Sofia + Sam Multi Tasking Memory Foam Lap Desk with USB Light
I use my lap desk every day for work, coloring, playing games on my phone, you name it. It also has a retractable LED light for working on tiny details.
