*PSST… This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase one of these awesome items you help this blog pay the light bill… okay, the Bluehost bill or you put money towards my coffee. Speaking of coffee next up is my gift guide for Coffee Lovers, because um hello COFFEE LOVER. 🙂

Last week I shared 10 Gifts Under $100 for Bloggers {gift guide}, did you check it out? I’m pretty much putting together one big o’ wish list and hoping Santa will hook a sister up! We shall see…

10 Gifts for CreativesAnyway enough about me, let’s talk creatives! Chances are if you’re here you’re a creative, considering most visitors to this blog are content creators, so yes, you are! But what is a creative? A creative is someone who creates, you don’t have to be Bob Ross to consider yourself a creative, you just need to create, and I sincerely believe we all have the power of creativity in our bones. Like Maya Angelou (a creative) said: [tweetthis]”You can’t use up your creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”-Maya Angelou[/tweetthis]

So, this list is for you, you creative soul! Get making.

 

Gift guide for creatives

1) Polaroid ZIP Mobile Printer | Have you ever taken a picture and wanted it right away? I’m an iPhoneographer, I’m constantly taking pictures with my phone, but printing them, that’s another story. You can print your pictures from your phone in 1 minute and 30 seconds! This would be perfect for scrapbooks, journals, or really good pictures with friends. 🙂

2) Keri Smith Deluxe Boxed Set| These books will send you on a creative adventure. You will most certainly step out of your comfort zone and learn to explore new areas of creativity within you.

Keri Smith Deluxe Boxed Set Wreck This Journal (the expanded edition), This Is Not a Book, Mess, and The Pocket Scavenger

3) Paint Water,  Not Paint Water Mugs via The Coffee Corner| If you have a painter in your life- and again, they don’t have to be Bob Ross- you know there’s always a water cup nearby. I cannot tell you how many times I almost took a sip of the paint water. #TrueStory 😀

Paint Water, Not Paint Water Mugs

4) Tombow Dual  Brush Pen Art Markers| These markers are perfect for that special doodler in your life. Not only are Tombow doodle friendly they are hand lettering friendly too.

5) Creative Lettering and Beyond  Penmanship is NOT dead!!! Hand lettering and thank you notes are baaack! Learn to hand letter like a pro, and then send all the happy mail.

Creative Lettering and Beyond

6) Amazon Gift Card| You cannot go wrong with a gift card to Amazon. Amazon has a wiiiiiide selection of creative supplies that any creative soul can dig. You dig me?

7) Color Me Inspired by Dawn Nicole| Is there an adult coloring book fandom? If so I think I should be the president because I swear adult coloring books are magical! I have some plans… stay tuned. 😉 I have been following Dawn Nicole on Instagram for a few months, and I don’t want to sound like a stalker buuuut I seriously look forward to her posts! She beams with creativity.

8) Polaroid Photo Studio Light Tent Kit|Creatives like to take pictures. Creatives like to take pictures of their work. Creatives like natural light, but sometimes they move to oh say… the Seattle area and need things like a light tent kit to help them take awesome pictures for their blog, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. 😉

Polaroid Photo Studio Light Tent Kit, Includes 1 Tent, 2 Lights, 1 Tripod Stand, 1 Carrying Case, 4 Backdrops (Black, Blue, White, Red)

9) The Busy Mom’s Guide to Creativity by Bev Feldman| It’s no secret here, I love Bev! Bev is my homegirl. That would make a really cool shirt. People would stop and ask who’s Bev, and I would respond, she’s an awesome creative mother who is inspiring other mothers to keep their creativity alive! Bev is like a modern day Pablo Picasso, not that she is a painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist or stage designer, but she is a writer, jewelry maker and crafty pants mama. Pablo Picasso said

[tweetthis]All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.- PP [/tweetthis]

Bev is trying to make sure we design a life with creativity in mind, she wants us to remain artists. We may not be children anymore but that does not mean we cannot still create with the same glee as we did back then. This workbook is a MUST for all mamas!!

    I would love that picture printer! I have a habit of never printing out any of the pictures I take on my phone. The adult coloring book is on my list too! I told my husband to get me one : ).

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 10, 2015 at 1:13 pm

      I’m the worst at printing out pictures. I have even heard from kiddo 2 about my lack of pictures of her, she also mentioned how I have plenty of kiddo . I apologized but um she forgets there’s even less of kiddo 3. I should really work on that.
      I hope your honey gets you a coloring book, they’re addicting!!

    Oh my goodness, you just put the biggest smile on my face!! You are such a sweetheart. I’ve certainly never been compared to Picasso before! 😉
    I seriously want most of the things on this list. Those pens! That lettering book. Such a fantastic list (and I’m not just saying that b/c my book is on this list). These are such great ideas!

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 10, 2015 at 1:25 pm

      🙂 Happy to make you smile! I love that you’re keeping creativity alive in Mommies all across the land- that’s important!
      Thank you!

    I have a friend who is a font head. I found a typography edition of Scrabble that I couldn’t pass up. I hope she doesn’t end up reading this 😉

    Well.. I LOVE #9.
    As for the little Polaroid light tent kit, I highly recommend. Cassidy made me one. It can be done. But buying one is pretty awesome too.

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 10, 2015 at 1:40 pm

      #9 IS pretty awesome! 🙂
      I really, really, really want a light tent kit! You should see the things I do to get light here. 😀

    Another great gift guide, I’m curious about the Keri book set.

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 11, 2015 at 12:09 pm

      Thank you, Healing Mama! You’ll have to let me know if you get it. My husband and daughter both have a Wreck This Journal, it’s awesome! There are fun tasks, out-of-the-box tasks, to get you thinking creatively. Some people get super creative, I’ve seen really neat pages on Pinterest. 🙂

      December 15, 2015 at 12:56 pm

      The camera light tent kit is at the top of my list- I made sure my hubby “proofread” this post 😉

    That printer is SO cool! I want it! haha I really love those coffee mugs, too! They are too cute!

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 15, 2015 at 1:00 pm

      That mini printer is the COOLEST! I feel like the mugs are a must in this house with multiple artists.

    OMG – I love your list & have just gotten a few of these things for myself on the list recently OR asked for them from Santa. It;s been really grey here in Ohio lately so I am going to check out that light kit because I NEED something! 😉

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 15, 2015 at 1:03 pm

      It does get quite gray in Ohio. My first visit there was years ago during Easter and it was cold and gray. I’m a Texas girl, so that was a shocker to me because April always meant sunshine and BBQs. 🙂
      Now, that I’m here in the Seattle area I think I most certainly need a light kit.
      I hope Santa brings you everything you wished for!
      XOXO

    I need to work on being more creative. I really want to learn how to sew in 2016. I have a sewing machine sitting in my bedroom waiting for me to learn how to use it (or re-learn how to use it, I learned to sew in 9th grade,but I haven’t sewed since).

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 17, 2015 at 12:36 pm

      I want to learn how to sew! I had a sewing machine and sold it in a garage sale. Now I wish I had it. My 13yo has also said she wants to sew, too, so maybe we’ll have to get another sewing machine. Now, I just need to figure out where would store it. 🙂
      I’m sure YouTube has some great tutorials on sewing. 🙂

    These are all awesome gifts! I started meditative coloring several years ago, and I love it. I am glad it is becoming more mainstream now. It is the perfect activity for me to do with my kids, while they color. And Amazon gift cards are probably the best thing in the world 🙂

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 17, 2015 at 12:40 pm

      I totally believe in the power of meditative coloring. I had no idea adult coloring books would become so mainstream, but I’m glad it is. I believe we could all benefit from a little more people coloring. I love when my whole family all sits and colors. 🙂

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 17, 2015 at 12:41 pm

      The mugs are pretty awesome, an artist could totally appreciate them. 🙂

    I want the creative lettering book. Does it allow you to do calligraphy that was so much fun as a child?

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 17, 2015 at 12:45 pm

      I want that book too! And yes, it has practice sheets. 🙂

    Love those water paints on the mugs, that’s just too adorable. I can always use a new photography kit but I think I know a few others in the family who could use it too. Love this list of gifts!

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 17, 2015 at 12:46 pm

      Thank you, Jessica.
      I could seriously use a light kit, I’m hoping a certain someone got the hint. 😉

    I love the light box kit. That would be perfect no matter where you live. I’m sorry you moved to Seattle just at the start of El Niño! Time to invest in a sun lamp! : ) I think these are all great gift ideas and an Amazon gift card is always at the top of my list.

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 17, 2015 at 12:48 pm

      A sun lamp 🙂 Yesterday the sun was out and shiny SO bright, today it’s cold, gray, and rainy. I hear we *may* get snow on Thursday.
      Amazon cards are right up there with SBUX cards. 🙂

    I so want the studio light kit. Maybe I can just share this gift guide with Santa and see if he puts it under the tree for me.

    1. MrsA0K2001

      I hope you shared with Santa and I hope your tree is overflowing 🙂

    Oh I love this list, I would totally have that mobile printer and/or Bev’s book for myself. Definitely getting the adult colouring book for my sister, I have been looking for something smallish to send to her (in Australia), so this is perfect!

    1. MrsA0K2001

      December 17, 2015 at 12:55 pm

      Bev’s book is awesome! I hope you get a chance to read it and fill out the workbook. I seriously felt motivated to create more, Bev is an inspiration.
      I love my adult coloring books, they are therapeutic. You’re sister will love whatever one you send. 🙂
