Gifts for that special someone

The hobo bag is making a quiet comeback! Expandable, curvy, and lightweight: It’s the ideal bag to carry when a micro purse or shoulder bag just can’t cut it. Plus, the earthy, mustard yellow tones make it a great accent piece for the colder months ahead.

$78 $62.40

Nothing says, “Dad, I forgot to get you a gift”, like a ruby-red tie. Mix things up this year with a pair of funky-fresh socks by Funatic.

$12 $9.60These earth-toned earrings pair with just about any wardrobe. Hand-crafted by Emily Bixler (BOET) using vintage brass loops, embroidery threat and horsehair, they make a unique gift for the couture conscious. (This jewelry should not experience any rusting. However, moisture to the embroidery thread could damage the piece.)

$76 $60.80Who doesn't appreciate a colorful and cozy scarf when the weather turns cold? They’re also great accessories for summer. Add personality to your outfit by using it as a belt or as a handbag handle! These scarfs are made using a silk blend, which means they’re perfect for people with sensitive skin.

$58 $46.40So, you bought someone a scarf and they don’t know how to use it. Good thing you bought this New York Times bestseller on that very subject, complete with step-by-step photos. The book features tutorials for all types of scarves, styles, and DIY accessories.

$12.95 $10.36Emily Bixler’s hand-crafted necklace immediately caught our eye because of its understated authority. It leaves a weighty impression but is deceptively lightweight and can be worn with something fancy or a simple pair of jeans and boots. Each one is made to order and shipped to us, making each necklace one-of-a-kind.

$108 $86.40Each lightweight earring is made from a single slice of tagua nut and then dyed red. They’re eco-friendly and fair-trade, making them an ideal gift for the fashion-forward and environmentally conscious person in your life.

$33 $26.40Tea towels aren’t just for tea! Use them as a hot pad, serving tray liner, or decoration. You can also channel your inner Vincent Van Gogh and turn it into a work of art. (Just don’t expect £2.1 million for it.)

$21 $16.80

Gifts for kiddos!

$14 $11.20

$13.99 $11.19Keep the museum adventures going with A Marvelous Museum! The one-of-a-kind book is filled with colorful, retro art by Swedish illustrator Ingela Peterson Arrhenius. It’s also sturdy and tactile, making it a great gift for toddlers!
