Holiday Gift Ideas for Her

1. Kate Comen Prints – Our brand designer, Sara introduced me to this talented artist! We especially love her Sweet Breakfast print.
2. Seedlings Cards – Know someone who enjoys writing letters? This company creates the most exquisite greeting cards. And the envelopes are filled with flower seeds that can be planted! 
3. Whittards of Chelsea Teas – Very few things are as comforting as a cup of tea, and Whittards arguably makes the best. Not a fan of tea? Try their hot chocolate – Coconut is surprisingly the best. It is a taste of England in your cup! 
4. Shop Click Bloom Jewelry – We met the owner of Shop Click Bloom on our way to Showit’s Spark Conference, and she’s as lovely as her designs! Keep an eye out for our podcast episode with her. 
5. Merryn Williams Designs Art – One of our friends is a talented watercolor artist in Lexington! Her custom paintings are the perfect personalized gift. 
6. Golden Coil Planner – The ideal gift for your organized friend! Golden Coil allows you to customize each detail of a planner from cover to cover.

8. Italian Shopper Tote – This beautiful Italian leather tote from Quince is the perfect catch-all bag. 
9. Sézane Gifts – IMO, Sézane can do no wrong. I love everything about their clothing and their brand. I now own three Sézane pieces, and my 2025 goal is to add another piece to my wardrobe. The Chloe blouse is my favorite piece in my closet. 
10. Silk Pillowcase – Need a gift for someone who loves beauty and skincare? A silk pillowcase is your ticket.

13. Cut Flower Garden Book – If your loved one doesn’t quite have a green thumb yet, I would grab a copy of this Floret Flower Farm book. It’s delightful and easy to follow!
14. Mary By Mary Jewelry – I have the birth flower necklace (for Davey + the boys), but there are countless beautiful pieces in their shop. Our brand designer, Sara, is also a big fan of their rings.

5. Jellycat Stuffies – We have two of these in our house. A tiger for Bennett and a cheetah for Jack (his favorite). While they were a lower price when I bought them, I’ll say that the price is worth it. They’re very soft and have held up well to nightly snuggles.
6. Gathre Basketball Hoop – Jack’s entered his sports era, so their Basketball Hoop was a must. 
7. Letters from Father Christmas – Inspired by Tolkien, I write a yearly letter to the boys from Father Christmas. My letters do not do his justice, but the boys enjoy them.
