*I published two posts simultaneously this morning — ICYMI, I also wrote a little thought piece on art, heritage, and the ties that bind.
**I am planning on stealing the gift wrap look above this holiday — j’adore kraft paper and it looks so elegant wrapped up with that wide satin bow and a sprig of wintry botanicals!
I have shared a couple of small business gift ideas in each of my gift guides so far (standouts? Glassware from Estelle, statement knitwear from Vita Grace, and Roop bags, all of which I own and/or have gifted myself!), but thought I’d share a couple of additional ideas here in case you’re looking to shop small this season:
