My holiday wish list is usually like this: anik-aniks from art fairs, books to fill up a shelf, or a grocery package to stuff my kitchen with. Though if I’m being honest, getting gifted with 200 mL pots of paint samples from The Color Library wouldn’t be too bad. In fact, the quirky side of me would absolutely love it! I know—it’s an unconventional gift, but I’m here to convince you why it would also be something you would want to receive during the season of giving.
Getting a Nice Gift from The Color Library
The Color Library, located in the 2nd Level of SM Mall of Asia Complex, is Boysen’s premier concept store. You can browse up to more than 1,300 Colorbooks that show how a paint color comes out on your walls. It’s a nifty experience, allowing you to explore the many colors you can choose for your topcoats.
Many giftable goodies can be purchased in this concept store and they’ll be placed in packaging that feels specially premium. Seriously, see it for yourself (feel it for yourself), and you’ll understand why something from The Color Library is a fun gift. The paper bag that comes with it is lovely and sustainable—great for wrapping other gifts you would be giving this holiday season.
You can also grab premium brushes and rollers from Fuyama. That would definitely be a practical gift to receive if you’re a renovation enthusiast, but nothing truly beats paints in your favorite color. I don’t have a favorite color myself (I love everything!), so I would appreciate any shade I’d be given.
The 250 mL paint sample pots are like the playdough clays of adults, coming in cute, small containers. Just instead of being a mere toy, it’s something you can still play around but make use of for your home.
But What Can You Do with Sample Pots
Obviously, you use the sample pots to create paint samples for your room and see if the color looks great. That’s why you acquire multiple pots of different colors so that you can visualize which one works best, especially considering your lighting and existing furnishings.
Just paint your samples on the intended surface to be able to see the colors on site at different times of the day. These are great if you are looking to install trims or moldings for your interiors, or if you’re thinking of giving your room a drench. I’m sure you’d also appreciate a new color if your existing paint is already problematic.
We have an article you can read more on to see what else you can do with a small amount of paint, in case changing colors isn’t your thing yet.
Don’t underestimate paints in small amounts. You can benefit from creating something unique and artful, while giving your interiors personality. Color doesn’t discriminate, so unleash your creative side even if you’re just an amateur designer.
Feel free to browse Boysen’s Instagram page and the official blog’s YouTube channel for mural and accent inspirations.
If you ever need paints more than what 200-mL pots can offer, The Color Library still has your back. You can also get colors in containers of one liter from the concept store.
New Year, New Colors
2025 will soon become 2026, and many people usually consider giving their homes a makeover during this time of transition. What makes products from The Color Library a suitable gift is how it will remind you about renovations possibly due for next year.
If you’re still not convinced, head to The Color Library yourself. It’s near IKEA, so if you are shopping for home goods to make as presents, take the time to see thousands of colors at your fingertips.
You don’t need to wait for anyone to give you paint samples. Treat yourself with your own choice of colors. Merry painting!
