2023 Holiday Gift Guide
Need some gift-giving inspiration? Clutch Collective can help! Here are a few ideas to help you wrap up your holiday shopping with ease. Plus, we’re open seven days a week now through Christmas Eve with extended shopping hours to make it even easier for you to check off that list!
For the dreamer: Looking for something whimsical and totally unique? A hand-quilted abstract denim jacket from Dre McLeod is sure to have the wow factor! Or a piece of statement jewelry from Sasha Handmade, made from sustainable fibers, a one-of-a-kind weaving from Hawke Design, or an original painting that was cut from a mural by Nichole Westfall! We also think these framed, original abstract paintings by Betsy Spellman or prints from Sarah Goodyear make terrific gifts. Your art-appreciating friend will absolutely love it.
For the plant lover: So many of our artists draw inspiration from the natural world! Surprise your green-thumbed friend with a botanical print in a variety of styles, or a tiny ceramic planter from Pot Head Pottery! Other ideas include these mushroom mugs from Best Wishes, The Plant Lover’s Journal from Inkling to jot down all of your care notes, and these too-cute wooden plant magnets that you can mix and match from Oh Little Wren. Check out artwork from Fitz Farm, Handhald & Co, Jessica Roux, Questionable Press, Nevada Tribble, and more - our shop is a flora + fauna lovers' dream!
For the pet person: I’m a cat person myself, so you can be sure we have plenty of feline-inspired artwork in the shop (in fact, we made a whole gift guide for cat people!) but we have gifts for our fellow dog lovers, too! These pinback buttons make great stocking stuffers, as do these reusable art sacks from Yellow Owl. We also have a variety of four-legged friendly stickers, pins, artwork and more found throughout the shop - and of course, Stephanie Orr’s itty bitty kitties (not pictured)!
For the crafty: Shopping for someone who loves to make? Check out the Print Workshop book from Yellow Owl with hand-printing techniques and project ideas, or these handy zines from Make & Mend on how to repair clothing and pick up embroidery. Or a Carve-a-Stamp kit and fun enamel pin! We also have a fun selection of artist-designed washi tape which make perfect stocking stuffers.
For the outdoorsy: Craig Peterson’s coasters make great gifts for hikers and adventurers, each one featuring a handpainted landscape. Buy a set or pair a coaster with a handmade mug! Don’t wait if this mountain embroidery hoop is calling your name because we have a very limited number in stock. Check out these handprinted mushroom notebooks from Questionable Press, enamel pins from Wild Wander, and of course, our truly massive sticker selection.
Does your outdoorsy friend need a new water bottle? Pick out a handful of stickers that you know would make them smile and gift with a new water bottle for a personalized gift! We have over 400 sticker designs to choose from, so believe us when we say there is truly something for everyone.
For the hostess: Looking for a unique hostess gift? Try a plant that no one can kill - a crocheted lovely from Risa’s Cozy Creations! Or a trio of glass trees from Jennifer Worden, which make lovely year round decor. Or a holiday tea towel from HandHeld & Co, a modern art print from Tara Reed, or a set of boxed notecards from Marisa Jackson!
For the naturalist: For someone who appreciates all that nature has to offer, check out Stephanie Orr's ceramics, including fern tumblers, Appalachian mugs, and leaf trays, and these enamel pin sets from Solstice Handmade with caterpillars and their moth or butterfly counterparts! We also have a variety of natural art prints from artists like Logan Schmitt, local naturalist Julie Zickefoose, Nevada Tribble, and more!
For the designer: For your friend of loved one with an eye for design, consider a pair of statement earrings from Pittsburgh artist Sasha Handmade, an issue of Uppercase Magazine, The Modernist Coloring Book, or a handful of vinyl stickers for their overworked Macbook case!
For the romantic: For your fantasy loving friend, check out these unique collage prints and stickers from Jennifer Spears, these absolutely amazing hand-etched and hand-blown glass vases from Meg Rataiczak and Alex Burdette, or notebooks from Brian Serway and Lost Fern Goods - perfect for dream journaling or TBR lists.

The “You Got This” coloring book is a great encouraging gift (pairs well with stickers!) from Free Period Press - and we love these beaded bracelets from Jill Makes - mix and match for chic friendship bracelets!
For the music lover: Give the gift of a personal woodland band with these ink prints from Ratbee Press, or an illustrated chart from Joanna Dee cataloguing the grants in Jazz, Soul, Outlaw Country - even 90s Boy Bands.
