Black Friday traditionally marks the beginning of the  consumer bonanza that is the holidays.  This year I am gifting more purposefully.   I want to impact the community of artists that I joyfully support.  Shop small!  Shop Local!  Be a patron of the arts!  It feels like money well spent and the most thoughtfully gifted goods. 
​Here is a round up of creative, art based gifts at great price points.  
ONE
 Jourdan Joly makes resin desserts, on demand for consumers who like their decor how they like their ice cream. Jourdan makes placing orders easy, via Etsy or Instagram.  Order soon for Christmas!  $50
TWO
For any maker, at any level.  This is an expertly curated box (and accompanying tutorial) that will provide everything needed to try a new medium.  Subscriptions and gift cards available.
THREE
 Perfect for party people.  Arna Miller makes a series of block printed matchbooks and prints.  The foibles of those who frequently  imbibe are hilarious.   Great to display in small shadow boxes.
​$20
FOUR
Dan McCarthy makes intricate silk screen posters.  He specializes in nature, skeletons, dinosaurs, and glow-in-the-dark prints.
​$40
FIVE
Emily Fischer, through Haptic Labs, makes beautiful kites, that double as decor.  Many models available.  Great for kids  or parents who want cool kid rooms. $28
SIX
Spread the goodness this season.  This on-point print reminds us of simple rules for success.  We can be proud of ourselves for taking Wolf & Wren's advice.
​$15
SEVEN
This far-spread, oft seen message is perfect to spread beauty throughout the dreary winter.  Continue the mission of love. Matthew Hoffman recently opened flagship store in Chicago too!
$45
EIGHT
 Danielle Krysa is a juggernaut in the art world.  She spreads a can-do, creative, power-for-all message.  This book applies to all creative endeavors (and corresponding challenges). 
​ $20
