I wanna nice Art set

I'd like to get an art set for my mum. I guess something in the £40-£50 region(ish). I want something thats not too specialised and has a good variety of items. Dont want anything tacky though. I'm gonna take a look in Hobbycraft tomorrow, but wondered if there were any good art shops online (especially ones with sales!). I'm from a technical background, so have no idea where to start looking for this sort of thing :confused:!!!

Cheers

WoA

    Try:

    www.jacksonsart.co.uk
    www.artsupplies.co.uk
    www.artdiscount.co.uk

    They all have a big range and are very good on prices (particularly Jacksons).

    Hi if you want to obtain a good quality Art Set, may I suggest you try

    http://www.winsornewton.com/index2.php

    From this website you will find shops in your area, you can also see some of the products on line.

    Winsor & Newton is the world's Oldest & largest manufacturer, and makes most of it's products here in England and has the Royal Warrant.
    My Mind wanders, if found please return.
  • there were some nice ones in smiths. also could be a matter of personal choice. you coulg give your mum a very small token set and either a homemade voucher to cover a set of her choice and you will get it or else the additional money in an envelope.

    You can buy all Winsor & Newton products at www.jacksonart.co.uk at very much more competative prices than regular art shops. Daler Rowney are also very good quality.
