Top 10 Gifts For A Creative Person

It's the holidays and we all have that "creative" person on our list. We can be a little bit harder to buy for because we're particular. But sometimes we're easier to buy for because we think the most random shit is cool.

Anyways, if you're stuck on what to get someone (creative or not), here are some ideas:

1. A Best Made Axe. I've talked about these before. They're awesome. The look sweet. Plus, who wouldn't want an axe? Nothing says "don't fuck with my ideas" better than brainstorming with an axe in hand.best-made-axe-co-red-axe

2. A Long Board. It's not all "extreme" like those X-Games skateboards. People don't expect you to do tricks on them. It's mellow. It's bringing skateboarding back to its roots - surfing on pavement. Need more convincing? Check out this video.

3. Storymatic. Any writer knows the horrors of writer's block. Now The Storymatic ($30) is here to help. By following two simple laws - a main character that changes during the story and doesn't die along the way - the 500 cards, separated by color into gold cards offering a character trait or occupation and white cards that contain a situation or object, help you build a compelling story by simply following along.

4. A Blank Moleskin. These are the notebooks that Hemingway used. Creative greats all over the world love the classic touch and feel of a Moleskin. And the blank pages scream for you to fill them with scribbles, doodles, notes and ideas.

5. A Box Of Crayons. They bring you back to your childhood when all you had to worry about was the fact that you used up the black crayon, so you sub in navy blue instead. They're colourful. And they let you create.

6. A White Shirt. Every person could use a crisp white shirt. They go with everything. This one is even designed for someone who bikes to work, but still wants to look good when they get there.

7. A bow tie. Or a skinny tie. Either way, bring back the nostalgic charms of the Mad Men era into the modern workplace. Ties used to say suit. Now they say cool.

8. A Screen Printing Kit. That way they can make their own ironic t-shirts. Or vintage t-shirts. Or witty t-shirts. Whatever. Check out this one from Urban Outfitters.

9. A Polaroid Camera. Or a newfangled Fujifilm imitation. Every since Polaroid stopped making film, there's been some nostalgia around these. There's something about having to wait to see it. Having it be permanent. It forces you to make every shot special.

10. Booze. The old standby. Everyone likes it. Just buy a cool looking bottle, like this R1 Whiskey from the makers of Jim Beam.

A Fake Mustache. Who doesn't want one of these? Great for costume parties, instant disguises or simply to wear while ironing your shirts on a Sunday.
