Our 2022 Gift Guide


Let’s be honest: finding something creative to give to our loved ones can stress out even the most talented gift givers among us. We asked you and your fellow newsletter readers to help – and wow, did you deliver! We received so many recommendations that made us giddy with delight imagining if we unwrapped them for ourselves. What’s more, you sourced many of these gift ideas from companies that are run by women and BIPOC business owners, operate with sustainable practices, and lift up makers around the world. So without further ado, let’s unfurl the inaugural CreativeMornings gift guide, a mix of products curated by HQ and YOU!

Although the person is the main focal point, the world around them becomes just as important to the story. Read on for MPB's tips and tricks for photographing wide-angle environmental portraits.
