20 days y’all! C’mere you jolly bearded man. Let’s snuggle.

I just love this time of year, don’t you? The lights are hung, the stores look beautiful, and handmade events are popping-up everywhere. It’s a great time to get out and fall in love with some local makers.

With such a wild year nearly behind us, there’s a simple wintery style we’ve cozied up to this December—seems our favorite stores have too.

It’s a mix of woodsy natural textures, crisp whites, shimmery touches and geometric everything. Have a look at the gifts on Wantist’s page one to see what I mean.

Falling perfectly into this mix are these wonderful ornaments by Flora Grubb. Made with living succulents and air plants they make truly unique gifts for all friends of little plants.

And with just a bit of care they’ll even continue to thrive long after the holidays have come and gone.

Aren’t they lovely?

I’m continuously smitten with Studiopatró‘s beautiful linen gifts. Founder and designer Christina Weber has a knack for creating designs that are timeless and loved year round.

She recently collaborated with woodworker, Edwards Smith on a limited run of handcrafted wooden servers to complement Studiopatró’s tea towels and aprons for a collection of lovely gift sets.

Also, just this month Studiopatró introduced a line of aprons for kids, rounding out their collection of gorgeous gifts for cooks and bakers, tall or small.

We’re quite fond of Studiopatró’s Love Set too—they make charming gifts for weddings and anniversaries.
