Why I created this bundle
What to get him?!
There’s something joyous about giving something you’ve made.
I’ve spent thoughtful hours pulling together this collection of tried-and-true products from creative friends. Each one complements another — like a dopp kit and a bath robe or personalised stitchery on a dinosaur tail — so you can mix and match to make something truly personal.
I didn’t want this to be a long list of ideas that just creates more overwhelm. I wanted it to be a small, thoughtful selection of things you can make, each with plenty of scope for personalisation.
With so much talk about overconsumption, fast fashion, and the damage it causes, this bundle offers a small but meaningful way to create differently with care and intention.
On behalf of my collaborators and myself, this is our gift to you this Christmas.
Worried that after downloading you still won't find the gift you need?
I beg to differ...
This is a part of your creative process this Christmas.
Because it’s free to download — and you can unsubscribe at any time — there’s nothing to lose and so much value to gain.
