Christmas 2024: Cute and practical gifts creatives will love
Tis the season

Ah, Christmas–the season of giving. While the festive period can signal a fun and exciting time for most, it can also be stressful for those looking to gift their friends and loved ones something memorable—especially if their recipient is someone who has a creative or artsy flair where a simple candle or cup isn’t going to impress them.
But not to worry! Before you get even more overwhelmed, we’ve got just the last-minute gift guide that will save Christmas. From dreamers and readers to planners and thinkers who have a keen eye on all things eccentric, bold and whimsical, these are the presents they’ll love and appreciate.
