My Ultimate Gift Guide for adult coloring books, activity books, watercolor books, and more. Looking for the perfect gift for an adult coloring book enthusiast? Look no further! This list features my top picks across various genres. When I first joined the adult coloring community, I noticed that many coloring book recommendation lists were outdated, often from 2018 or earlier. While helpful, they missed many incredible illustrators who have emerged or continued to thrive since then.
Over the past year, I’ve researched a wide range of illustrators, from hand-drawn artists to digital creators, and I’m excited to share my favorites with you. Most of these books are part of my personal collection, so I can vouch for their quality! If you want to know more about paper quality or book dimensions, feel free to ask.
Genres That Work for Me
Here are the genres that I’ve personally enjoyed. If you have a genre I haven’t included, let me know—I’d love to consider it for a future update (and give you credit, of course!).
ADULT COLORING BEGINNERS
Some of these books are "precious to me," but I believe every beginner needs something aspirational—books that inspire you to grow and improve in the hobby.
CUTE COLORING BOOKS
This list includes some of my favorites, and even if you’ve been coloring for a while, I’m sure there are a few books here you don’t have yet.
STORY COLORING BOOKS
Whether the book has captivating designs or features text alongside the artwork, these are some of my most cherished picks. I believe they make thoughtful gifts, even if they arent colored!
SCI-FI & SPACE COLORING BOOKS
This is one of my all-time favorite genres and I'm always looking for more like them, so please share your favorites!
FANTASY COLORING BOOKS
This genre could easily be its own gift guide! I have so many fantasy books in my collection, but for now, I’ve shared some of the ones that stood out. Let me know your favorites!
ROMANTASY & DRAGONS
The blend of fantasy and romance is something I also enjoy, so I’ve put together a list of my favorite books in this genre. While I have many others in my collection, these make wonderful gifts.
HISTORICAL COLORING BOOKS
These books beautifully blend retro, regal, and elegant themes, each with its own unique charm.
WILDLIFE & NATURE
I’ve also curated a list for fans of flowers, nature, and wildlife books—perfect for anyone who loves capturing the beauty of the outdoors.
And there is many other categories!
Intricate Coloring Books
