Gifts for the creative and curious. Support the creativity of your loved ones!

We have been stocking the amazing Uppercase Magazine for a while now and it just keeps getting better and better. Filled with photographs, ideas, and inspiration to get one's creative mojo rocking.

Dottie Angel is the book that celebrates the crafty world of Tif Fussel. Once you open these pages you will be hooked and barely able to contain yourself from running out the door in pursuit of bakers twine, washi tape and unusual paper goods. Worry not, we carry all these and more.

Here are a few other ideas to support the artists, the writers and crafters in your life.

There is no better way to show we recognize and support the creativity of our loved ones, (even when they don't) than to give gifts that encourage them to express themselves.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Time and money, we all have some, we all want more!

These small gift ideas are packed with style and will be enjoyed everyday of the year.

• I like practical gifts to be personable.
• Sensible gifts to be colorful.
• Useful gifts to be designed with spirited personalality.

That's not asking for too much now is it?

Adorable or Cheeky? Perhaps a little of both...

Do you find that some things are so adorably adorable that they make you sigh? 

You may feel a desire to take an adorable thing home and protect it, give it a good safe place and tell it, "all will be fine". Yes, you have entered another dimension! That's ok, it happens, and it's good, just be careful who you share this with.

Cheeky things are slightly naughty, delightful and sometimes a bit rude. Who doesn't want a bit of that in their life! It's good to balance the adorable with the cheeky. You can still be a respectful and courteous citizen with a tiny bit of sauciness.

Some small gift ideas for an office companion, a buddy, ourselves or the stockings on the hearth.

We know we can expect the unexpected in people, weather and pretty much everything in life, now we can say the same thing about paper!

These handmade papers are works of art in themselves. Light filters through drops, swirls, or geometric shapes creating shadows of a magical and luminescent quality. A great source for interior design projects.

Simply hang one in a window, or cover that electrical box on the wall...spark your imagination.

I was thinking these would make an amazing stencil for printmaking or painting. Have some fun!

When you think of origami, do you think of a crane? If so, it could be time to spread your tiny wings...yes, pun intended!!

There is an abundance of origami videos out there. As many as there are origami folds. The valley fold, mountain fold, book fold, reverse fold, rabbit ear fold to name a few.

But if you want to go beyond, into a whole other realm, check out some of these folks. You will never think of this little piece of decorative origami paper the same again.

Hosting a special dinner is a beautiful gift we give to others.

These small tokens of appreciation will last longer (and cost less!) than a bottle of wine.

As guests we often bring beverages and food to share and help contibute to a special meal. But, if you want to bring a gift for your host, bring something special just for them. These charming hemp and organic cotton hand printed Tea towels will put a smile on their face and be useful all year round.

Tuck one of these sweet little potpourris or note pads in a gift bag. You might even get invited back next time!

But remember, this act of good manners, as thoughful and caring as it is, does not get you out of helping with dishes and clean up! Enjoy.

Call it twine, string, thread or ribbon we have an inspirational variety of it!

Made from hemp, jute, cotton, vintage fabrics, vintage metal wire.

Hand dyed, twisted, variegated bright or natural, use for jewlery making, wrapping, tethering, bundling, tying up gifts and baked goods. Sewing buttons, adding to all kinds of imaginative projects.

Construct drawstring bags and binding up books. Or simply wrap around your finger as a way to remember something.
