Holiday Gift Guide For the Creative Woman

So you're looking for a gift for the creative woman in your life, I know it can be difficult! Every holiday I struggle to come up with unique ideas for those I gift regularly. They either have everything they need and want or what they want is way out of my price range. 

I decided to put this gift guide together for those of you out there that are looking for something that will make her say wow. I don't get any type of commission on the sales of these items, they are just things that I have come across and love - and of course I'll throw a Madera product in there (shameless self promotion moment). I am going to keep it under $200 because I know things are uncertain in our crazy world right now and everyone wants to keep a bit of savings on hand.

familiar and yet hauntingly exotic, adding tiny little details in a 
sort of compulsive meditation, until a perfect balance is created. Prices range.
