I need to start my holiday shopping, or what little of it there will be this year, but I want to buy meaningful things and also items that don’t cost a lot of money. So it was perfect timing when I received an email from my new friends at Ugallery informing of their upcoming 20% off sale. I think original and affordable art would be a great gift that would also give back to the student artist who created it. Everyone wins! I’m also not paid to advertise for them. I just really believe in the talent of the artists and the quality of their work and want to support them. Below are some of my favorites.

The Ugallery 20% off sale starts Wednesday, December 10th and runs through Sunday, December 21st. Enter the coupon code “wishlist20” at checkout to redeem the discount. Happy Shopping!
