You could opt for gifting wine or experiences, but if you’re looking for a special find for them to unwrap, we’ve got some ideas. For the burgeoning creatives, consider gifting some supplies to encourage them to explore their talents. A quality set of colored pencils and a sketchbook or an easel and apron combo may be just what they’ve been missing.
