In this video, I’m doing a full-on holiday art supply unboxing: Meeden’s Creative Christmas Countdown Gift Box. It’s basically an advent calendar for artists—24 little surprises, one for each day—so if you love mystery boxes and art gifts, this is right up your alley. I open it up like a Christmas countdown, but I also talk about how you could totally save it for after the holidays as a “treat yourself” box (because honestly, post-holiday motivation is a real thing). As I work through the days, I’m looking at it through my watercolor-artist lens: is it actually useful stuff, is it giftable, and does it feel like a good value for an art supply haul? I also share a coupon code (MIRANDA12—though their Black Friday deal might beat it depending on timing). If you’re hunting for DIY gift ideas, stocking stuffers for an artist, or just want something fun to open with your sketchbook and a cup of tea, this countdown box is a really cute way to build in some creative time.
