From January's carnation to December's poinsettia, Lauren Sadler's painting kits indulge your creative side with an activity that also quiets and focuses the mind. Lauren has included everything you need to get started: a clearly numbered, artist-quality canvas; nontoxic, water-based acrylic paints; two brushes; instructions; and helpful tips. It all comes packaged for giving, with the monthly blossom's name and the symbolic traits that are associated with it. Even if you haven't dabbled in the arts since your finger-painting days, you'll be able to create a colorful masterwork in about three hours and enjoy happy birthday flowers all year long.
