As a ceramic artist working with clay and water, I basically have to bathe in lotion to keep my skin from drying out. I have Avry lotion in my car and purse at all times to keep my hands from looking like the Sahara Desert, and it works wonderfully, plus it smells good.
When I saw that Bromstad Printing Co. applied their playful illustrations to Swedish Dish Cloths, I was very excited! They are perfect for use in place of paper towels and can be used over and over again. Cute and practical? Say less.
I haven’t always been a tea person, but Big Heart Tea changed that. Their tea bags give you the flavor of brewing loose-leaf tea, but way easier. My favorite is the “Cup of Sunshine” to wind down at night.
Savannah’s sun catchers add so much joy to any space, come in different colors, and make such a good gift. My favorite time of day in the store is when the sun catches the window where they hang and reflects little colorful triangles of light.
When I describe anything made by Starfire, craftsmanship and quality are always at the top of my list. His hand-carved spatula/spoon is one of my go-to gifts. It's my favorite cooking utensil to use at home, and it has been going strong for years.
I love accessorizing with earrings, and these Bubble Huggies are a staple in my rotation. The sterling silver is perfect for sensitive ears, and the bubble texture adds interest to a classic shape.
I’m a sucker for hats, and also love waffles, so this “Waffles” hat immediately caught my eye. Leslie Knope said it best - “We need to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn't matter, but work is third.”
P.F. Candle Co. was my gateway brand into incense, and there’s no going back now. Their motto is “fragrance is an extension of your home design”, and I find that when I have incense burning, the space feels extra cozy and welcoming.
These keychains were designed and created in-house and make an affordable, fun gift. It’s made of solid brass that holds up well and has a timeless look. The cobalt squiggle gives the keychain a fun pop of color and also doubles as a fidget spinner.
