The Starr Struck 2015 Gift Guide is Here!

Welp, the holidays are here! And now that they are, I'm ready and excited. There's already something in the air and I love it...I hope you feel it, too!

Although I'm not a fan of all of the commercialism and materialism of the holiday season (2 years ago I posted a Holiday {NO} Gift Guide and I still feel the way that I did when I wrote it...), I do encourage supporting small businesses, local artists + makers, and if you feel the urge, taking the time to find thoughtful, meaningful, small gifts to show your love and appreciation for the special people in your life.

So, this year I've decided to share a few of the ways that you can shop with yours truly this holiday season ;) 

I'll be having a special flash sale in my Etsy shop on Small Business Saturday (this Saturday the 28th), so be sure to follow me on Facebook or Instagram to get all of the info about that sale (that being said, if you plan on buying a tank or pullover and want a specific size, you might want to purchase those before Saturday to ensure you receive the one you want; the remaining shirts are going really fast!).

Thus, here's your Starr Struck Gift Guide for 2015:
​

• For the art-lover: A framed print of one of my original paintings 
  I've got tons of prints available in my Etsy shop and all can be framed in order to make them ready-to-hang upon opening! From beach and buoy paintings, to yoga-inspired paintings, to still life florals, I've got a wide variety of prints for the art-lover in your life. Pick out your favorite in my Etsy shop and if you want it framed, just shoot me a message for a custom item.
  
  
• For the dog-lover: A rescue-dog inspired pullover or tank
  I had no idea that these tops would be such a hit, but I'm thrilled that they are! If you haven't already picked yours up, I encourage you to do so ASAP, as they're selling out really quickly and there are only a handful left in each size and style. The shirts each say "May all beings everywhere be happy and free" and display a drawing of either a basset hound, dachshund, or pack of rescue dogs. They're available as both tanks and long-sleeved pullovers and a portion of each purchase is donated to Best Friends Animal Society.
  
  **Note: there are no more medium "The Pack" pullovers in stock and "The Pack" tanks are down to just 1 or 2 left in each size. If you try to order and they're already sold out, feel free to shoot me a message saying which size/style you want, just in case I decide to do another round of shirts...still pondering.
  ​
• For the yoga teacher: My How to Earn a Living Teaching Yoga eBook {which is now available for Kindle on Amazon!}
  Know a yoga teacher who just graduated from teacher training? Know a teacher who is trying to transition into teaching yoga full-time? Here's a fun gift that will give them a head start and make them feel much more prepared to enter this competitive field. Plus, it's now available on Amazon!
  
  Never gifted an eBook to a Kindle Reader before? Here's how: Enter my book title into the search on Amazon (it's here). Then click the "Give as Gift" button on the right-hand side of the page. You can choose to e-mail the e-book gift to the recipient with a future delivery date, or print out a voucher (which you can then place in a greeting card). Easy as pie ;) 
  
  
• For the yogi: Yoga-inspired holiday cards (available in both 8-packs and as individual cards)
  If you have a yogi on your list, I promise that he or she will smile when they see these cards. Trust me--I'm a yogi and I've seen how other yogis react to anything and everything yoga--we can't get enough ;) I now have 5 different watercolor holiday card designs, which you can mix-n-match, purchase individually, or purchase in an 8-pack. Peruse all styles and purchase them in the Greeting Card section of my Etsy shop. 

So there you have it! Lots of fun ways to shop with this small business owner + maker this holiday season ;) 

Thanks so much for your positive energy, community, and support this holiday season and all year round. I'm SO thankful for all of you out there in internet-land! Seriously, full of gratitude. 

Happy {almost} Thanksgiving!
