Creative Gifting

Creative Gifting

To get you (and us!) in the Christmas spirit, each week we’ll be unpacking gift ideas by category to help you find that perfect something, for your nearest and dearest.

This week we’re easing in with ‘Gifts for Creatives’. You could say everything in Make holt ticks that box to some extent, but we’re hoping to be a little more helpful than that!

First up, as always, the very wonderful ‘DO Books’ have a great selection of creative topics including; ‘Design’, ‘Make’ and ‘Inhabit’ (Interior Design). Fantastic, digestible reads with real life practical applications. Take me to DO books <--



Next, Design Smith! Jude really has her finger on the pulse of what people want on their walls. Ever popular in the shop; check out her collection of giclee prints for the painters, sewers, writers (readers) and illustrators in your life! Take me to Design Smith <--

Recently featured makers, Judith Ellis and Andrea Girling, create the most beautiful hand made notebooks, journals and stationery. For the illustrators, painters and sketches amongst you, we highly recommend checking out their work. Below are some of our favourite Andrea Girling pieces, with the cover image of this blog a stand-out sketchbook from her latest drop.  Find their pieces here and in-store.



Finally, what better gift than a sturdy, well designed mug for a cuppa in their studio or office space. If the creative in your life already seems to have everything, then investing in their new favourite mug is the only option. We absolutely love these pieces by Tamlin Lundberg.
