15+ Artists Who Perfectly Knew the Recipe to Happiness

It doesn’t necessarily take a Picasso piece to awaken in us a feeling of great awe. Sometimes a simple creation will do when it’s made with passion. Moreover, when a gift is well-thought-out and created especially for us, it often goes a longer way than a sophisticated and pricey present.

At Bright Side, we decided to shine a spotlight on the works of 16 artists who have put their heart and soul into their creations in order to make a loved one happy or just add a spark of joy in the eyes of a random stranger.

1. “A talented tattoo artist knew exactly how to recreate, in ink, my 6-year-old’s ’artwork’ on my arm.”

2. “This origami heart made out of a dollar my mom’s coworker gave me!”

3. “I’ve been sneaking around the hospital at night to leave these handmade acts of crochet kindness in high traffic areas.”
