Ten Gifts for Creatives – Artists, Makers and DIYers
With the holidays just around the corner it is time to start thinking about those perfect gifts for everyone on your list. Inspiration is hard to come by. Whether you are shopping for an artist, a writer, a designer or someone who regularly engages in creative thinking, chances are, all they want for Christmas is a few good ideas.
If you are anything like me, you want to make each gift personal and very special. Something to show how much you truly care. And while you cannot buy them a brilliance or time to create everything they’re hoping to accomplish, you can purchase inspiring products that might result in their best work.
So today, I’m here to help you with that by lightening your creative shopping load. Here is a list of 10 truly remarkable and utterly unique gift ideas for the creative ones in your life:

For any artist who would love a break from having to create from scratch. Or even for those who like to doodle, draw, relax and get in the zone or get those creative juices flowing. This stunning book is filled with intricately detailed line art. This isn’t about perfectionism …
drawing is magic (self-discovery book)
An essential tool for the growth of any aspiring artist, but its blank pages can be daunting to even the most motivated.

the logo board game
For that special designer in your life who loves to put their knowledge to the test and keep their minds fresh with questions relating to popular logos and brands. Different countries have different versions. Step up your gift giving game and give this board game as a set with the “Second Edition”.
So, there you have it … gift giving made easy this year!

Crystal Kordalchuk
Crystal is an artist, a writer, an organizer, a dreamer, a doer, and down-right proud of it NERD!.
Struck with a love for #AllThings creative at a very young age, Crystal dreamed of a life fueled by her passion for creating and bringing the stories and images in her mind into reality.
As she worked toward her dreams, she earned a diploma as a Computer Applications Specialist then another in Graphic Design and from there began to develop her extensive background in multimedia and the arts. She began her worked in the magazine industry as a layout designer and had a succession of design jobs thereafter. It was her role as a graphic/web designer that gave her the first real glimpse of her future. Soon she began a side job as a freelance designer while keeping one foot in the corporate world. A spark was lit! She turned her freelance gig into a full-time business combining design work with her other passion: creating organization from virtual chaos.
Crystal is one of the most organized individuals on the planet. She is by all means a Zen master of her crafts. She excels at helping others become “untangled” and provides her clients with tools to run their businesses smoothly while she takes care of the details behind the scenes. Thus Virtually Untangled was born. A successful business where her work as a top notch creative in graphic and web — with a twist of virtual assistant — married into one amazing place where clients can come with their virtual messes and become magically untangled. Crystal can always make sense of even the most unorganized chaos and offers a virtual detox of order and peace, so her clients can get busy doing the work that they love the most.
