Colour, paint or draw!
Adult colouring is a great way to unwind. As is drawing. These are some art supplies I’ve loved when drawing or adult colouring.

Or a fun digital download colouring page if you feel like printing on your own paper.

Elmer’s MultiPurpose Spray Adhesive
A fixative especially if working with pastels. Cheaper alternative is hair spray. But results can vary.
Krylon Workable Matte Fixatif

I love that I can get unique designs on Spoonflower and I can even design my own. Like my budgie florals collection. The variety of fabric types is also quite good.
