Art supplies are NOT the end-all be-all of gifts. There are loads of other things that may be better suited to your artist or creative friend. In this super awesome gift guide, I cover a ton of different ideas to make sure the person on the receiving ends loves, and actually uses, your gift 🎄

And on that note... Merry Christmas & happy holidays to all :)
