Holiday Gift Guides

I know, I know, it's only November, but if you're like me, the holidays sneak up on you every year! I love a gift guide as a way to get great ideas and inspiration, so I've finally created my own. These gifts are sorted by category (please let me know if you want to see more!) and are all from small businesses, no corporations here. 

I've made it nice and easy to shop for people on your list all while supporting other small businesses here in Denver. Choose your gift guide below: Moms, Your Best Friend, The Homebody, and The Crafter. I hope this helps alleviate the stress of shopping and makes you feel good about supporting local brands.

First up, for moms. I selected these gifts as little luxuries for the mom in your life. This can be your own mother, mother-in-law, or your friend who recently became a mom. These gifts are designed to make them smile, eliminate stress, and give them items they will love year after year.

fan earrings // ceramic ornament // cloth napkins // body oil // lavender wrap // leather bag

Next we have, for your best friend. This is often a hard category for me despite knowing almost everything about this person. I overthink it and feel like I have to give them their favorite gift year after year. But honestly, my favorite gifts are either cute accessories or something indulgent I won't buy for myself. Enter these gifts!

ring // bon bons // cloth napkins // velvet bow // facial oil // advent calendar

For the homebody, I've selected some yummy self-care items, home decor, and my favorite home activity, puzzling! I am a self-proclaimed, friend-verified homebody and usually the gifts are all about cozy robes, slippers, and blankets. I have plenty of each of those, so here's a little something to broaden your horizons.

puzzle // art print // candle // room spray // table runner // face mask

Lastly, we have the crafter. This is homebody adjacent so feel free to mix and match several of these items! The crafter is your friend who loves to learn new skills and is always looking for something to keep their hands busy. This variety of mediums will be sure to keep them entertained this winter!
