Hey friends,
Alright, so I’ve never done this before, but I’m going to make a gift guide for this holiday season. I was thinking, I’m not too big into buying gifts, but I do like to buy cool things for my friends and family if the vibe seems right. I’m not really into shopping, but I’m huge into creating communities, and connecting with like-minded artsy people. So here is a gift guide for y’all. It’s full of my friends, my family, and artists who I admire. Especially this year, if you’re gonna buy stuff, buy from small local businesses, and buy stuff early!
