6 gift ideas for creative people
Happy Wednesday dear readers!
I know I'm a little late to publish this post 😬. I've had a very busy two weeks with personal problems and I haven't been able to find time to stop by here sooner.
I hope that at least it will be useful to you stragglers who leave Christmas gifts for the last minute (As is my case 😅😅).
Below I leave you gift ideas for restless artistic minds. Some of them I have tried personally and others are at the top of my wish list.
ESCODA TRAVEL BRUSH CASE – RED SET (€63 – €67)
Of the 4 models of travel cases that Escoda has brought to the market, my favorite is the Red Set.
It consists of 2 Escoda Versatile brushes with numbers 6 and 12 (my favorites in the world, I leave you the link to an entry on my blog where I tell you about them: My Escoda Versatil brushes) and a number 8 Escoda Perla brush.
This case is perfect for those restless people who like to paint on their trips or go out painting on the street.
You can get them at Artemiranda for €67 or at VPiera for €63.

Watercolor sketchbook (€13 – €38)
Among the many types of drawing notebooks that exist on the market, the ones I like the most are these two models.
Watercolor Notebook 100% cotton 300g BAOHONG
It is available in both satin grain (brown tops) and fine grain (dark green tops). I personally like it much more in fine grain, it is more versatile so you will be sure to get it right!
You can also choose between 3 sizes. My favorite is, without a doubt, the largest size (equivalent to approximately A5). At the time of writing this post it costs €25.80 at Artemiranda.
You can also find it at AliExpress for a very good price, right now they have it for €21.73. Although we already know that AliExpress prices fluctuate a lot, not counting the time it takes to deliver the package... On many occasions we cannot wait two months for the supposed gift to be delivered.


Watercolor notebook 100% cotton 250g hahnemühle
What I like most about this notebook is that they have a square format! My favorite format in the world! 😍
The prices at Artemiranda of this notebook range between €13.12 for the smallest format, up to €37.77 for the A4 size.
derwent drawing colored pencil set (€21 – €52)
Value for money, these colored pencil sets are ideal. They are somewhere between school pencils (the typical Alpino ones) and professional pencils of the Caran d'ache Luminance type (in which each pencil can cost approximately €4).
Plus, it's not your typical color palette. It includes beautiful desaturated earth tones, very rare in commercial colored pencil boxes.
You can find them at Craftelier for €21.35 for the box of 12 colors and €42.02 for the box of 24 colors.
They are also available at Milbby for €24.99 for a box of 12 colors and €52.49 for a box of 24 colors.

ARTGRAF WATERCOLOR GRAPHITE KIT (€53)
Ideal for those people who have everything. A very complete and very well presented kit.
It has never been missing from my case since I discovered it a few years ago. I leave you the link of this kit at Artemiranda.

tote bag ilustrado (22,50€)
I designed these cute bags myself 😊. I think they are a very original gift, ideal for storing all our materials when we want to go on an artistic getaway.
I have the country landscape model and I use it a lot in summer to go to the beach or the pool.
At the moment they are only available in my store at Etsy by €27.23. Soon I hope to have them available in my own online store.
ACTUALIZACIÓN NOVIEMBRE 2024: ¡¡Ya están disponibles en mi tienda online por 22,50€ !! Os dejo el enlace por si queréis echar un vistazo.

ARTISAN CERAMIC PALETTE FOR MIXES (€39 – €55)
Mixing palettes are essential utensils in any artist's studio.
These that I bring you here today are handmade in Spain, hence their high cost. They are unique pieces with a lot of personality.
I haven't gotten one yet but they have been on my wish list for some time now.
I leave you the link to the store at Etsy so you can take a look at the entire catalog .

How did you like the selection? I have tried to make it varied and suitable for all budgets.
I hope you have a happy holiday.
Until next time!
