Halloween is officially over, so now it’s on to the holidays! I love this time of year y’all. And my favorite part is the gift giving!! I love making the people in my life smile with thoughtfully chosen gifts for each of them. But I get that it’s not super easy for everyone, which is why I put together my holiday gift guide for 2024! These are some of my favorite books, and I hope this guide makes your holiday season a little easier.
It’s no surprise that my favorite gifts are art-related, of course! And giving a friend or family member a coloring book is like giving them an hour of peace. Even those who don’t think they’re ‘good at art’ can relax with a coloring book. It’s such a good way to relieve anxiety, take your mind off stress, or wind down after a long day.
These are some of my favorites:
If your friends or family members love flowers, they’ll love this coloring book! It’s filled with floral designs to color. The cover is beautiful enough to keep it out as a coffee table book, and the pages are removable to make for easy framing of favorite designs!
Buy: Bloom Coloring Book
Love in Bloom is another great one for the flower lovers in your life.
And the Mini Bloom Coloring Book makes a perfect stocking stuffer!
This one’s for all of my fellow architecture lovers out there! It’s perfect for those who drop by open houses just for fun or are constantly scrolling through Zillow or Airbnb to look at interesting homes.
Buy: Coolest Homes Ever Coloring Book
This year I was SO pumped to collaborate with Whataburger for probably my favorite coloring book to date. We love Whataburger in our house, and it was a blast creating all of the scenes in this book! This book would be perfect for a gift swap, secret santa, or even a stocking stuffer.
Buy: WhataWorld: A Whataburger Adult Coloring Book
If you’re looking for more inspiration for the art and design lovers in your life, my shop has some really fun things in it from prints to apparel to beach towels! But in the spirit of the gift guide, here are the favorites:
My playing cards are one of my most-loved items each year, and they’re PERFECT for stocking stuffers or gift swaps.
Buy: Playing Cards
Way more unique than what you’d find at the big box stores! For the beach lover in your life:
Buy: Stripe Floral Beach Towel
Is there anything cuter than a kid who loves to draw?! Didn’t think so!
Creating how-to-draw kids’ books is one of my favorite things that I do, so it means so much to me to be able to share them with the world. I always write these with easy-to-follow steps, and they’re perfect for kids as young as 5. The mini drawing lessons in these books will not only help your favorite kiddo practice their art skills, but they’ll also help them build their confidence through art!
These are my favorites this season:
Okay, cuteness overload!! How to Draw Winter Things teaches kids to draw ALL of the seasonal favorites like snowmen, elves, Christmas trees, and even Santa! And let’s face it – kids’ energy levels in December are through the roof, so giving them some focused learning time while making it fun and seasonal is a win for kids AND parents 😉
How to Draw Everything Whataburger for Kids
Another collab with our favorite burger joint – this book teaches kids to draw all of the iconic Whataburger faves like patty melts, onion rings, Whatachick’n strips, fries, and more! It’s so fun. And, when they’re done, they can color in their drawings!
How to Draw So Many Things Box Set
Lastly, the How to Draw So Many Things Box Set has a mix of everything! All of the easy-to-follow drawing lessons that kids love in lots of categories including animals, flowers, sea life, woodland creatures (so adorable), and magical things! This is a great gift for any art-loving kiddo in your life. The books are even travel-sized so they can be brought along on family road trips or plane rides. AND, all of my kids’ books (outside of the box set) also come in a mini version, which makes them all great stocking stuffers!
Okay, I think that about covers it! Hopefully you’ve found this holiday gift guide for 2024 to be helpful.
I can’t wait to do alllll the holiday things this season, starting with making my own Christmas list! Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
