\"gift<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I wanted to put together a list of gifts that featured tons of my favorite makers & shops\u00a0that would serve as a no-fail guide for those of you wrangling with last minute gift decisions. I generally don\u2019t want people to give me\u00a0stuff.\u00a0<\/em>Indiscriminate stuff clutters life, but a well chosen object of use makes life better. It makes those mundane moments I\u2019m always going on about beautiful. Sometimes I wonder if I\u2019m obsessed with elevating the texture of daily living because I find life, in some aspects, fundamentally difficult. It\u2019s like I\u2019m littering my days\u00a0with little incentives. I can happily say that not a single thing on this list is clutter. Each\u00a0earns the space it takes up in a home, in a life. Each object has been chosen for it\u2019s beauty and utility, and they range from kitchen wares to home goods to accoutrements to apothecary. I hope this helps with the stress of shopping or at the very least introduces you to some new shops and makers. I\u2019ve tried to include gifts for every stage of life from the new mother\u00a0to the nester to the maven.\u00a0Some are expensive and designed to last a lifetime & then some, some are frugal enough for a secret santa swap. All are about increasing quality of life and supporting the makers & purveyors of quality goods. Sources are at the bottom and correspond to the number of the item. I encourage you to look around the shops linked\u2026there\u2019s a lot more than what I have here!<\/p>\n
