I am sure many of you have started your holiday shopping or
are at least are planning your lists. If you read this before you start your
shopping adventure, don’t forget to add a little creativity to your shopping
list.
What do I mean by Creativity? I mean make sure you buy someone you love
some art supplies, craft supplies, or a craft kit or two. You never know what life long love you will
start in a young child or help someone older continue to enjoy a lifelong love.
There are all kinds of activities out there from model
airplanes and cars to assemble to adult coloring books. The other day I saw a kit to paint a set of
nesting dolls (I almost bought it for myself).
There are looms of every kind and step by step books to do all kinds of
needlework. And of course you could
provide the supplies for one of the crafts I have done a tutorial on and show
them this blog.
And also consider a gift of music or dance. Either provide some future performer with
lessons or an instrument or take them to a holiday concert or ballet. I bet there is a Nutcracker Ballet going on
somewhere near your hometown this time of year. Going to a performance is a
memory both of you can share. I still
remember going to a simple children’s Christmas concert at a local junior high
with my mother when I was visiting her one holiday.
So add a little creativity to your holiday shopping by
giving a gift of creativity in whatever form your heart desires. You can never
give too much. Happy Shopping!!
