Are you anything like us and spend your last few days before Christmas scrambling to finish up your shopping? After a full December of festivities, at this point in the month we're all ready to cozy up with the people we love and take it easy. So in the spirit of ease and treasuring the Christmas season, we put together a list of all our favorite, go-to Christmas gifts. All of these items come from companies we believe in, and many of them are items handmade by close friends and family. We believe in shopping with intentionality and purpose, and we are so happy to stand by every one of these companies, who share our hearts and carry a message that we are happy to partner with.
Without further ado, happy shopping!
1. Leather Journals from the Cageless Birds
Of all the companies that are near and dear to our hearts, this one is at the top of the list. The message that the Cageless Birds is one of family, creativity, and wholeness, and every single item they sell reflects that passion.
"The Little" in Amber - $30
2. Wall Banners from Pinehurst Home
We may be biased (we love our in-laws!), but we think that Ariana at Pinehurst Home is the very best. These wall hangings are the cutest addition to any room, and there's something in her shop to suit every kind of personality!
Wall Banners start at $16
3. Coffee and Cookbooks from Marked
Shameless plug - you can support Marked while you shop too! Our Marked Coffee and Sustain: The Marked Cookbook are both perfect for gifting, and are perfect for the coffee lovers and hobbyist cooks in your life. The message is simple: life is better when you spend it around the table with the people you love.
Coffee & Cookbooks start at $16
4. Wooden Pens from Red River Turning
Our friend and favorite storyteller Ray Hughes has created something with these pens that is absolutely beautiful. Each one has a story. Each one is part of a legacy. For the writer in your life, these pens are created by hand and full of history.
Pens start at $125
5. Leather Totes from FashionABLE
Gorgeous leather goods with a great cause. Win-win. FashionABLE fights world poverty by equipping women in impoverished countries with the tools to create beautiful products and build businesses to sustain themselves and their families.
"Abera" Crossbody Tote - $178
There you have it! Five products from five businesses we love. Where else are you shopping this year? We would love to hear about it! Regardless of the shopping, we hope that this last week before Christmas is full of beautiful memories with your family!
