All right guys, my first ever gift guide! I love these businesses, I love small businesses, I love the holidays, and I love doing what I can to help brands survive during this wild pandemic. Some of these brands are clients, some are friends, most are both (if we work together, we are bound to become friends). These are not affiliate links and I have no discount codes. These are just good people who I am rooting for!

1. You Have the Heart of a Lion Print
This print is available in my shop – 100% of the net proceeds go to the Pitt Hopkins Research Foundation. My dearest friend Chelsey’s son Harley was diagnosed with Pitt Hopkins, an extremely rare genetic disorder, in August of this year. You can read their journey at harleysarmy.com

2. Bumpin Blends
The BEST smoothie cubes of all time! Totally clean, organic, and delivered right to your door. Mix with 6oz of liquid and you’re ready to go! I love working with this brand so much – try the cookie dough blend! Woman owned – by a mama of two!

3. Pinkness
I have become a bit of a skincare junkie during the pandemic and swear by the Pinkness Beauty Oil! Farah Pink is the owner of Pinkness and she is a breath of magical fresh air. I loved working on these products!

4. Chasing Paper
Hands-down the best removable wallpaper out there and such a great gift – one of my studio walls is covered with one of their patterns and it completely changes the entire visual experience in my office.

5. Goode Weavings
The CUTEST weavings – Jenae made a wall hanging based on one of my Instagram posts (pictured) and it is such a fun addition to our home! She has a wide variety of weavings available and can make custom weavings as well.

6. Maker Wine
Maker is a woman-owned canned wine brand bringing craft wine from independent winemakers to a broader audience. Currently shipping in California only. My favorites include: Sparkling Sauv Blanc, Rosé, Pinot Noir.

7. JaxKelly
I worked on these Mantra candles with JaxKelly and they turned out so well! Each has its own scent and the gold foil labels make them a perfect display piece. Such a fun brand and product.

8. Cedar Lane
If you caught my giveaway post you saw these babies earlier in the week, but they turned out SO beautifully! Cedar Lane is a husband-wife MN-owned brand creating gorgeous, three-dimensional, sculpture-like work. They have a collection of four of my pieces for sale right now – would make an adorable addition to a kiddo’s room.

9. Split Rock CBD
I learned so much about CBD while working with this brand! Their quality is incredible – they manage the entire CBD production process from start to finish and are sought-after partners amongst large Twin Cities-based brands for their superior ingredient quality.

10. Chelsea & West
My design pal Jess Levitz launched THE cutest children’s play tent line! So sweet, so thoughtfully designed, the perfect small space addition to your play room. They are so easy on the eyes – a welcome break from most of the play tents on the market.

11. Welbe
I briefly popped into this brand to help develop a custom pattern for them – they are a clean teen/tween skincare determined to bring non-toxic, totally stress-free products to girls and guys ages 8 to 18. Tired of watching makeup and skincare brands target younger and younger kids, their products celebrate a simpler way of life.

12. Little Love Jar
Want to win the award for most thoughtful gift of the year? Give a Little Love Jar! They take all of the stress out of the process of gathering personalized notes for someone you love. Send your loved ones a link to their submission portal, LLJ gathers all of your notes, prints, assembles the jar, and sends it to you (or the recipient). Warning: recipients have been known to shed some major tars unwrapping these.

13. Priscilla’s of Sanibel
Priscilla’s is owned by one of my dearest friends and is named after Priscilla Murphy, a kick butt woman/realtor who is responsible for developing much of Sanibel Island. The shop features empowering, feminist products. How cute is this RBG onesie??

14. Hemleva
Samantha and I went to college together, and now she runs the incomparable Hemleva! All of her products are so charming, from pins to stickers to suncatchers, and made with such care! She even handwrites every customer’s name on their order before shipping! Just a breath of fresh air.

15. Flora Lee Naturals
I am in love with this brand! Flora Lee Naturals was created by Nia Baucke in honor of her grandmother. The products and packaging are so beautiful and she has been teasing a few new things that are coming in the next few weeks!

16. Goodboy Originals
I met AJ when I worked with Callaway Golf in 2019, and Goodboy Originals is his personal brand. He makes “object art” – aka beautifully photographed sentimental items printed on the most gorgeous paper (AJ is a paper expert). Think matchbooks, handwritten notes, pencils, pens, sentimental or historic items… this would be the PERFECT holiday gift!
