Sakura Top Holiday Picks

The holidays are finally here, and we have pulled together our favorite seasonal picks to help you out. From choosing the right gift for loved ones to adding to your own holiday crafting arsenal, Sakura has a range of useful items.

Looking down on a white surface, an open package of Cray-Pas Expressionist pastels sits on holiday packaging next to an illustrated card of Christmas lights glowing on a black background.

Cray-Pas Expressionist: Smooth to apply, with a wide range of colors, our Cray-Pas line is a wonderful holiday addition to any toolset or any skill set. Create painterly effects, enjoy resist work or leaf rubbings, or build up texture and depth in mixed-media projects—whatever the scenario, these oil pastels are a fun treat. And they come in different styles and packs! Explore more here.

Gelly Roll Effects + Gelly Roll White: While Gelly Roll always brings a smile to our face, and forever stands out as a favorite, we find that the holidays are a particularly wonderful time to think about the different Gelly Roll effects. Stardust, Metallic, Gold & Silver Shadow — all of these add a fun shimmer and shine to every project! Great for stocking stuffers and gifts to budding artists, or grab a set for your holiday gift-making. View the whole collection.

And, don’t forget our Classic White! No holiday crafting is complete without it. The opaque white ink stands out on dark and colored papers and makes highlights pop.

A pink and orange package of Micron pens lays on a dark purple background against a silver and blue wrapped package while, scattered around it, are single pens of Microns in grey, red, yellow, blue, and green intertwined in blue ribbon.

Pigma Micron: Give the gift of precision! Perfect for writers and artists alike, Pigma Micron is an all-around solid choice; from our 05 color line to the buffet-like 8-count sampler pack, there are plenty of options available for whatever mood you’re in. Check out the full range in our product pages.

Permapaque: Who could say ‘no’ to writing with paint markers? Available in two sizes and twenty colors, Permapaque markers perform on a wide variety of surfaces like wood, plastic, metal, and more! Create holiday ornaments, design your own wrapping paper, or decorate customized gifts for your loved ones. Whatever strikes your fancy!

On a sparkle gold background, a brown paper wrapped present sits beside several Permapaque pens in various holiday colors. The brown paper has been decorated with these pens in rows of copper stars and red and green holly, while the package has been wrapped in a red twine bow with the twine spool just beyond the edge of the image.

Three clear candle holders decorated in colorful inks, with candles lit within, sit on a pink backdrop with silver and blue ornaments arranged about while, in the foreground, a row of various Glaze and Souffle pens sit.

Soufflé and Glaze: These two thrive during the holidays! Perfect for decorating on glass, like candle holders and ornaments, the dimensional inks flow with smooth, fluid strokes. Glaze creates gorgeous stained-glass effects with its translucent ink and Soufflé dries opaque, allowing for different effects. Check out more about these two 3D inks over in our Crafting section, then set up a family craft night and watch your imagination take off!

Quickie Glue: Built like a Gelly Roll, our Quickie Glue pens roll on smooth and easy with a ball-point tip, making all your crafting work super effortless. Try resist work! Or, add confetti to your gift tags. Want to give the gift of Quickie Glue instead? It makes an excellent tool for scrapbookers and journalers and you can learn more here.

Several Quickie Glue pens lay scattered over a purple and silver glitter background with paper snowflakes and a watercolor card at the center which has been painted blue over written glue that reads "Let it Snow."
