dSavannah's Holiday Gift Guide

Photo by yours truly. 🙂

Well, it’s that time of year: the holidays. And yes, I say holidays, because it could be any number of them for you: Kwaanza, Hanukkah, Christmas, Ramadan, etc. Plus, if you’re in the Western Hemisphere, you celebrate the New Year.

And most people do some sort of gift-swapping celebration, so I am here to help you find the perfect gift for that special someone, without ever stepping foot in a store. (You’re welcome.)

First of course, you can purchase something from me. 🙂 I am an artist, after all, as well as an author and rambler. Hop over to my Facebook page, grab the 50% off code for my artfire store, then hop over there and go shopping! (The code is good through Dec. 19.) I have other stuff on my website, so go look there too. If you contact me, I’ll extend the 50% off to that, if you give me the code. 😉

Other great places to shop for art and music and stuff (and they have no idea I’m doing this, and no, I don’t get any kickback, except a teensy tinsy affiliate fee if you go to Amazon from one of my links):

Catbird Studios: she paints, makes aprons, etc.
Coreen’s Greens: Coreen answered The Questions a while back; she makes oil synergies and awesome balms.
Stu Jenks: also answered The Questions; he has music and books and photographic prints. All gorgeous.
Patchouli: nope, not the oil. A band. Love them. Bruce also paints.
Griffin House: my very very favorite musician. Seriously. I’ve met a ton of famous people (including but not limited to Jane Fonda and Kermit the Frog), and meeting John Griffin was the first time I actually got all fan girl and couldn’t speak.
Faerie Goatmother: makes awesome soaps with milk from her very own goats. And she’s a dear, dear person.
Arlene Holtz: painter. I own a small piece, and I love it.
WrensEye by Susan Elaine: one of my dear friends. She is uber-talented. Makes jewelry, dolls and figurines, and my coat for Dragon*Con. (No you can’t have my coat.)
