The Creative Boom 2021 Christmas gift guide for creatives

'Tis the season to be... stressed about shopping. Let's face it, it's not always easy to get the right presents, especially in this time of collapsing supply chains and global shortages.

But every problem is an opportunity in disguise. And the fact that ordering stuff online has become a lottery shouldn't fill you with horror. Instead, treat it as a fresh chance to support smaller local firms, and independent artists, designers and makers; all of whom have had difficult times over the last couple of years.

Not to mention that buying something original, lovingly crafted and totally unique will endear you far more to your loved ones than just opting for the same safe, generic products from big brands.

In this article, we've pulled together some inspirational suggestions for Christmas gifts, whether you're buying for family, friends, or fellow creatives. And if you need more, check out this Twitter thread too.

This new card game by Jean Jullien challenges you to collect over 50 quirky and close-knit cats. It's a bit like Happy Families meets Go Fish, but where all the fish have been eaten by cats, and instead of being happy, the families are all a bit bonkers.
