When it comes to gift-giving, anyone can give a candle or a new wallet, but where’s the personality in that? No shade on candles, but when it comes to getting your creative mates a present, it’s nice to make things a little more personal. Whether they’re just starting out in fashion design, or mentioned they’ve always wanted to learn to DJ, it’s always nice to receive something that’s a little more unexpected and from the (creative) heart. Plus, gifting something you know they’re going to love and actually use is better than that thing that’s still sitting collecting dust in the cupboard. No false thank-yous around here. So when you’re out of creative ideas to treat your creative friends, family, partners and neighbours, we’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to.
