  1. Buy a Primitive Gift for Her

    • Soft colors and muted tones are popular in primitive gifts.

      The fastest and easiest way to find a primitive gift for her is to simply go shopping. Home decor boutiques and local artist's studios are great places to start. Many painters, potters, and sculptors specialize in primitive art, which often has an unfinished look and is created using basic, everyday materials. Their natural, muted colors, romantic imagery and motifs make primitive gifts a great choice when you're shopping for someone you love.

    Make Your Own Primitive Gift for Her

    • Get the whole family together to collaborate on a primitive gift for Mother`s Day.

      If you want to lend a personal touch and add sentimental value to your primitive gift, you might consider making it yourself. Many potters and painters offer lessons and there are hundreds of online tutorials you can follow to create your own primitive gift for her. Primitive art usually requires few materials, many of which you probably already have on hand, so even beginning artists can be successful in creating unique works.

    Customize a Primitive Gift for Her

    • A charm can easily be added to personalize almost any piece of primitive jewelry.

      You don't have to create your own primitive gift from scratch if you want it to be special. There are many pottery studios that have pre-made pots, plates and other items that you can paint however you like. Furthermore, attaching a personalized charm with the name or initials of your significant other to your primitive gift can be a nice touch. Many local artists will also gladly include an autographed note when you purchase a piece of artwork.

    Primitive Gift Wrapping Ideas

    • Primitive gifts are great for the holidays or any time of year.

      A primitive gift can be made extra special with great presentation. Wrap your gift in plain brown paper; wrapping paper with neutral tones; or enclose it in a paper bag with complementary tissue paper. You can find primitive, unfinished ribbon made of cloth or paper at craft stores. Tie one around your gift or into a bow on top of it for a great finishing touch. Include a handwritten name tag or note.
