The Ultimate 2018 Gift Guide for Funky Creative Moms!

Eeeek! It’s B-Inspired Mama Gift Guide time! My favorite time of the year. When I get to share my top holiday gift giving picks for all my favorite peeps.

Curious creative kids, sensory kids, strong girls, cool grandparents, and fun dads. 

Yep. ALL those holiday gift guides are coming! But FIRST, as is gift guide tradition around here, and since I know you all so rarely put yourselves first… the Creative Moms Gift Guide comes first!

Today, I shop for YOU, creative mamas. (And truly, if I could actually send them all, I would! Oh, to be Oprah for just one day… )

Another plus to starting with you, creative moms: You can forward this on the husbands, partners, and others who do your gift shopping. Ha!
