✨ Gemma's Holiday Gift Guide for Creatives & Their Cats ✨


This curated list of holiday gifts for creatives and their cats includes everything from performance essentials to enrichment toys my own cats can’t get enough of.


In this week’s solo episode of Tails & Tassels, I’m sharing my newly refreshed Holiday Gift Guide for Creatives and Their Cats — a roundup of the products I actually use and love in my daily life, backstage at Catbaret, and at home with Lion-o and Luna.


If you're looking for thoughtful gifts for performers, producers, cat parents, or the creative humans in your life, this list is full of tried-and-true favorites. Some links may be affiliate links, which help support the podcast at no extra cost to you.



Special Offer for Tails and Tassels Listeners!


  • Felis Lux Prey Wand Toy: A beautifully made wand toy Lion-o and Luna go absolutely feral for.

    • Special Listener Offer:  Use code TASSEL50 for 50% off your first order at Felis Lux (good on one-time purchases and subscriptions).


Gifts for Creatives!


  • Passion Planner: My go-to producing and organizing tool for nearly a decade. It blends daily planning with gratitude, reflection, and goal setting — perfect for creatives who love pen-to-paper structure.


  • Leopard Print Suitcase Set: The lightweight carry-on + tote combo I use for every single Catbaret show. Cute, durable, and perfect for city travel.


  • Leopard Print Packing Cubes: Great for organizing burlesque costumes and containing runaway glitter — and a safe alternative to crinkly plastic Lion-o would absolutely try to eat.


  • Stila Stay-All-Day Liquid Lip in Beso: My signature red. It survives shows, subways, sweat, and a post-show slice of Joe’s.


  • The Burlesque Handbook by Jo Weldon: A true classic. It’s like having a backstage mentor in book form — great for beginners and seasoned performers.


Gifts for Cats!


Small Creators & Artists to Support
