## Creative Gift Book

Check out this creative gift book from one of my creative writers. She helped come
up with this post for the holidays. I dug it. Thanks, Christy.

If there’s that extra special someone on your [holiday](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/12/9-ways-to-have-a-happy-green-holiday/)
gift list this year with that extra creative genius, you’re going to need an extra
creative gift. That could be easier said than done, though. If you weren’t blessed
with their great level of creativity, you might be intimidated by the task.

Let us help you tap into your imagination with our [unique](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/12/green-automotive-gift-ideas-for-eco-conscious-consumers/)
holiday gift [selections](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/12/green-automotive-gift-ideas-for-eco-conscious-consumers/).

## **642 Things Books in this creative gift book **

The [642](https://web.archive.org/web/20170703140536/http://www.chroniclebooks.com/titles/lp/642)
creative gift book collection offers a wide range of creative books. Our favorite
is 642 Things To Draw, which is an inspirational sketchbook that is perfect for 
new or experienced sketchers. It’s chock-full of drawing prompts, like a robot, 
a hammock, a wasp and a pickle, that range from “deceptively simple to conceptually
mind-bending.” And 642 Stories To Write is full of intriguing fiction writing prompts
that encourage writers to pick up their pen and weave their own unique tale.

## **Beeswax Gifts**

Instead of a traditional paraffin candle that emits unhealthy smoke, choose a healthy,
dripless beeswax candle with the rich smell of honey. Another popular beeswax item
is lip balm, and they come in a variety of holiday gift sets.

## **Art Lessons**

The ability to draw and paint is not always an inherent gift, but something that
is easily taught. And for creative friends, this may be a wonderful form of expression,
not to mention art classes are [thought to improve critical thinking](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/02/who-wouldve-thought-think-electric-car-becomes-european-van/)
skills. Search out a local art class for a gift certificate or buy [classes online](https://conceptartempire.com/top-premium-art-courses/).

## **Eco-Friendly Gifts**

For your green friends, we recommend a few gift options, such as an organic fruit
and nut basket or a Bonsai tree. For that extra special gift, choose an engraved
Vineyard Round Cheese Board. It’s an [eco-friendly rubber wood cutting board](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/05/getting-thrown-over-board-is-now-considered-eco-friendly-by-seafarers-world-wide/)
with a pullout drawer and four cutting tools.

## **Easy Change Artwork Frames**

These frames allow artists to display their favorite or most recent drawings and
paintings without reframing. You simply [open up the door](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/12/climate-change-opens-door-to-arctic-for-competitors-dod-official-says/),
remove the old and slide in the new. They come in white or black, and in sizes 8
½ x 11 and 13 ½  x 11.

## **Wacom Intuos Pen & Tablet**

This unique gift allows artists to make digital artwork from a traditional pen and
tablet. The digital [drawing pad](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EN27TCI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=lehori-20&linkId=bf0efd1449bc9813c0156aa27dce2d48&th=1)
then connects directly to your computer for downloading.

## **Adult Coloring Books**

Coloring books are the latest trend in meditation activities. Psychologists report
they decrease stress levels, reduce heart rate, relax muscles and stimulate the 
brain. Add a beautiful tin of colored pencils to make this gift extra special.

## **Online Guitar Lessons**

If you’re looking for a music lover gift, online guitar lessons are perfect. Your
loved one can take private lessons from the privacy of their home from one of the
top online [guitar websites](https://equipboard.com/posts/online-guitar-lessons).

## **Personalized Rubber Stamp**

If your creative friends own their own business, you can adapt their logo to a stamp.

## **Mason Jar Herb Garden**

For your garden lover who also has a knack for cooking, select this charming vintage
Mason jar [herb garden](https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/mason-jar-indoor-herb-garden).
The passive hydroponic grow system [brings nutrients to the plants](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/09/biophilic-office-design-bringing-nature-into-the-workplace/)
while regulating moisture so there’s no guesswork with over- and underwatering, 
not to mention the garden itself is interior artwork.

## **Wine Bottle Stoppers**

Plenty of artistically creative bottle stoppers is available for your artistic wine
lovers. [Our favorite](https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/solar-system-glow-in-the-dark-bottle-stoppers?country=US&aw_cid=766724817&aw_aid=44035870767&aw_dev=c&aw_loc=9014251&aw_key=&aw_mtype=&aw_net=g&aw_ad=183512967314&aw_pos=1o1&aw_shopid=47057&aw_prod_partid=194850157977&gclid=Cj0KCQiA3dTQBRDnARIsAGKSflmoil12CnBpruHznU2u6vq2CLB_yUsL8IUS4V2VV0MYAef6Heg4wZIaAs2mEALw_wcB)
was the Glow in the Dark Solar System.

## **The Elements of Style Illustrated**

If you have a writer on your gift list, this book by William Strunk, Jr. and E.B.
White is the perfect stylebook.

Who knows, by the time you finish shopping for your creative friend, you might be
picking up a pencil to draw, a guitar to pick, or another creative idea you found
along the way. Getting creative allows you to try new things and to develop skills
you may never knew you had before. Why not choose one for them, and add one of these
creativity-boosters to your own wishlist?
