$ – PENNIES ARE TIGHT

Andy Warhol/ai Weiwei: An Art Book for Kids This colouring-in and educational tome is designed as an introducion for children to two major artists ($14.95).

Ai Weiwei Sleep Mask This aid to an uninterrupted nap is adorned with the image of Ai Weiwei prising open his peepers ($9.95).

$$ – YOU’VE GOT SOME CASH TO SPLASH, BUT YOU’RE NOT ROLLING IN IT

Andy Warhol Idea Journal A place to record inspiration and other musings, this notebook ($34.95) is emblazoned with a Warhol quote worthy of informing your approach to life, such as, “You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you.” Right on, Andy.

Spoons There’s a series of Ai Weiwei snaps in which he quite literally gives the finger to the establishment (including a picture of him giving the bird to the White House). Our mates at Fitzroy homeware emporium Third Drawer Down have taken these shots and popped them on a set of collectible spoons ($24.95 for the set).

$$$ – YOU’VE COME INTO AN INHERITANCE

White Porcelain Peony, handcrafted by Ai Weiwei This actually seems like a steal for a real piece of Ai Weiwei art, but still, you need to have 9K in the bank to pick it up.

Bicycle Your next set of wheels comes with an Ai Weiwei print thanks to a collab between Paperback Rider and the NGV ($950).
