Holiday Gift Guide for Creatives
Gifts for you and your loved ones from women artists + entrepreneurs
Hello.
My intention for this guide is to help you give with intention and avoid the mad rush of holiday shopping. Each purchase made supports the artists, small business owners and entrepreneurs that are part of our Heartbeats community. (This letter is best viewed on your desktop).
Below you’ll find more about each maker including a creative prompt, favorite quote, and discounts for subscribers of Heartbeats. It was so much fun to put together this guide. I’m continually inspired by the creativity and collaboration present in this community. Please consider upgrading your membership to continue supporting projects like these.
