As a book lover and blogger I am always making notes so I thought this would be the perfect gift for a fellow book blogger. You could also throw in a gift card to a bookstore.

Holiday Gift Guide Day 7/ Suggestions for the Artist

IMG_0050

Michael has always been interested in art but this year he has really taken a great interest in it. As an elective in high school he decided on taking art class and he has been thriving in the class and loves drawing. He loves the teacher and he loves the projects he has to do within the class.

So with Michael in mind I thought I would share with you something I would give a budding artist for Christmas.

The first thing is the New York Liberty Handmade Pouch to hold all the varies art supplies they will need. The pouch is all hand stitched and made with 100% cotton. It measures 9.5 x 5 x 1.5 inches. Its available in New York Liberty, Paris Eiffel Tower, London Big Ben (this is the one I plan on ordering) and San Francisco Golden Gate. It retails for $11.99 US

Next thing the budding artist needs is a sketch book and going along with my love of NYC I chose the Brooklyn Bridge sketchbook. This is the Mudpuppy Andy Warhol Brooklyn Bridge sketchbook. The sketchbook includes 30 high quality paper with a colored wire binding that will make flipping the pages easy. It measures 9 x 12 in. (23 x 30 cm) when the sketchbook is closed. This retails for $10.99 US.

I think this would make the perfect gift for that budding artist on your holiday gift list.
