Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) November 12, 2013 -- California-based arts promotion organization, The Artisan Group® (http://www.theartisangroup.org), is excited to announce that the inaugural edition of its “Holiday Gift Guide” is now available on issuu.com.

According to The Artisan Group® founder Valerie Guerrero, the “Holiday Gift Guide” has something for everyone, including jewelry, bath and spa products, designer stationery, crocheted accessories, children’s apparel, purses, hand-poured candles, hand-bound journals, paintings and illustrations, fine art photography, hair accessories and pet accessories and toys.
“At The Artisan Group, we believe there is no better way to let family and friends know how much they mean to you than with an individually handcrafted gift,” said Guerrero. “We encourage people to buy handcrafted this year as a way to show you care—about beauty, about quality, about community and small business, about sustainability and simply because there’s no greater expression of soul.”
The Artisan Group members come from all over the United States, Canada and around the world and represent a varied group of individuals whose mission is to spread the word about the handcrafted movement by gifting celebrities, VIPS and members of the press at elite Hollywood award show gift lounges and through specially prepared collaborative gift bags.
