Let’s Go Shopping!
If you want to avoid gift cards, here are eight awesome alternatives including books, kits, prompts, and more!
“Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert
This #1 New York Times Bestseller is a great gift for the book-loving creative on your shopping list. “Big Magic” is both inspirational and educational. It’s a must-read for creatives of all types.
Price: $11.95 USD (As of October 2023)

Staedtler Triplus Fineliners
Staedtler fineliners are some of my favorite things to write with. They come in tons of colors and write incredibly smoothly. They’re closer to markers than they are to pens, but they’re still phenomenal for everyday use.
Price: $9.97 USD (As of October 2023)

Macrame for Beginners Kit
Crafting projects are great, particularly when they include learning a new skill or art form. If you’re shopping for a creative, beginner craft kits are great because they come with everything needed to get started right away. I really like this cute gnome macrame kit, but there are lots of options out there for you.
Price: $15.99 USD (As of October 2023)

“Wreck This Journal” in Color!
While “Wreck This Journal” has been around for several years, this new color version is a great addition to the “Wreck This Journal” line. It’s tons of fun, and both artistic and destructive in one go. I highly recommend it!
Price: $16.00 USD (As of October 2023)
Paint by Numbers Kit
Like with the macramé kit, a paint-by-numbers kit is a great option because it comes with everything needed to start and complete the project. There are tons of amazing kits available so you’re certainly not limited to this one, but the one I’ve linked below is a great place to start!
Price: $19.99 USD (As of October 2023)
Kickstart Creativity Cards
I love prompt cards, and these Kickstart Creativity cards are no exception. They’re colorful, they’re fun, and they’re great for those moments when I’m feeling stuck creatively. These cards would be an awesome gift for your creative loved one.
Price: $17.39 USD (As of October 2023

LED Tracing Light Box
At some point or another, probably everyone has had to trace something. I do it surprisingly often, and it’s a pain to have to hold my paper up to a window and hope it’s bright enough outside to see the design under my tracing paper. This tracing light box is a perfect solution and a fun gift!
Price: $24.99 USD (As of October 2023)
Art Dice
Like the Kickstart Creativity prompt cards, these art dice are great for working through creative blocks. Plus, they’re just plain fun! They’d be great as a gift on their own, but could also be a stocking stuffer, or even part of a teacher gift!
Price: $19.95 USD (As of October 2023)
Crafter Mug
For many crafters, coffee is creative fuel. (Or tea. Or hot chocolate.) This mug, available on Etsy (a place full of fellow creatives!) is the perfect mug for holding that fuel. Plus by ordering it, you’re supporting a small shop so it’s really a win-win decision.
Price: $16.95 USD (As of October 2023)
