Shop Local: Creative Holiday Gifts from San Antonio Artists and Designers

The holidays are for giving. So shop local San Antonio and give something unique and cool and original. There are many local San Antonio artists and designers making beautiful and incredible things around our city. You’ll see many of them at Brick at Blue Star, So Flo Market, Hecho a Mano, Esperanza’s Peace Market and more events throughout the holiday season.

Here are seven creative holiday gift ideas from these local talents that your loved ones will adore. I’ve also linked to their websites or online stores so you can find the most convenient way to shop.

The Gypsy Journal from The Love Letter Library

View this post on Instagram

I have been working all week on a new design for our Gypsy Journal. Can't wait to share! The Gypsy Journal is where The Love Letter Library first began! It embodies the perfect mix of whimsy and happenstance. The Gypsy Journal is a traveling collection of love letters written and passed along from person to person spreading love wherever it goes. How It Works Step 1: Write a love letter in The Gypsy Journal to someone in your life. Step 2: Mail or hand deliver the journal and all of the instructions to them. Step 3: That person will then repeat steps 1 and 2. Step 4: This will continue until the last page of the journal has been reached. Then it will be mailed back to The Love Letter Library. Step 5: The Gypsy Journal that you created will be scanned, archived, and turned into a paperback book for all of the participants to have the opportunity to purchase. Allowing you to see just how far your words of love have gone and just how many hearts your words have touched. Keep love growing. Join us. ______________________________________ For more information about is and our products visit: www.theloveletterlibrary.com {link in profile} #keeplovegrowing #theloveletterlibrary #gypsyjournal
