Shop Local. Make Local. Be Local. The Arienas Collective - gift vouchers and gift making workshops Experiences are run from a supportive and welcoming home environment in the Edinburgh New Town. Spaces are limited so artists can offer hands-on help and support. All equipment is provided, as are all the materials you will need. The value of the Gift Voucher will be taken straight off the cost of any workshop or experience - all of them are eligible! The Gift Voucher cannot be exchanged for money or be refunded. There is a soldering workshop on 15 December where you can learn how to make stud earrings and cufflinks and a ring making workshop on 24 November. There is also a Christmas gift making silver clay workshop on 29 November. They run experiences where you are encouraged to lose yourself in the moment, and to switch off from the everyday through focusing on the act of creating.

‘Maggie’s Mittens’ and ‘Maggie’s Monsters’ are both Scottish themed picture books which are suitable for ages 2-7. They are both beautifully illustrated by Alison Soye and written by Edinburgh based Coo Clayton. ‘Maggie’s Mittens’ tells the tale of Maggie trying to get rid of her itchy mittens that she really doesn’t want to wear. She tries throwing them at various statues and creatures including Greyfriars Bobby and the Loch Ness Monster. A story that many parents and children will relate to! ‘Maggie’s Monsters’ sees Maggie on the hunt around Scotland for a real monster to play with. She comes across all sorts of Scottish wildlife including wildcats, deer and highland cows but in the end finds the perfect monster to play with. Both books are priced at £6.99 and would make a lovely Christmas gift.
