Today is Tracy’s turn to share her gift giving ideas with you. Tracy is going to help us with the creatives on your list, the always challenging stocking stuffers and some unique ideas for hostess gifts which are sure to lock-in your invite to come back next year.

The Artist Within ::

Collage Collage Art in a Jar: Each jar comes packed with its own mix of collage fodder for hours of creative play.

Sketchbook Project Submission Holiday Gift Pack: The Sketchbook Project is an ever-growing library of inspiration. You are mailed a sketchbook, register for a tour, mail back the completed sketchbook, it goes on tour and finally lands permanently in the Brooklyn Art Library. A unique, creative, fulfilling gift for any aspiring artist – holiday edition.

Taschen Large Paris 2013 Wall Calendar: What aspiring artist doesn’t dream of running away to paint on the streets of Paris? Why not send them there with this visually beautiful, oversized wall calendar.

Uppercase Magazine:> Coveted by designers, this is a magazine for the “creative and curious” and is a stunningly designed, wonderfully curated and a true visual feast.

Super Stocking Stuffers ::

A battery that becomes a charger for your phone – How genius is this?

Lump of Coal Soap: For those who have been “not so nice”, this cute bag of “coal” is actually useful for “cleaning up your act” for next year!

Hypotrochoid Art Set: Remember your Spirogyro set? It’s back ….

Fish Eye Lens for the iPhone: Neat!

Thoughtful Hostess Gifts ::

Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Cups: Guaranteed crowd pleaser. (That is, if your host is willing to share)!

Crackle Flutes: Silver metallic ribbons wrap around these festive flutes.

Very Merry Beverage Napkins: Spread some holiday cheer with this useful and fun gift.

Mast Brothers Chocolate Bars: They are just as sweet on the inside as they are on the outside!
