Holiday Shopping Guide

Today is gray and rainy, and Christmas is 16 days away (how did that happen?!), which brings me back to the holiday gift guide. Remember this post from a few days ago? Well, instead of curating a post with specific gifts, I’ve decided to start a list of some of my favorite shops (with a few item links) to help with the holiday shopping process (or any shopping process, for the matter). My plan is to update this list regularly, adding new shops to the mix as I discover/remember them. I’d love to hear your suggestions for places to shop! Please feel free to leave recommendations in the comment section.

For gifts for the home like candles, coffee mugs, kitchen trinkets, garden supplies, and more:

• Anthropologie (we have the D and K monogram mugs and love them!)
• Emily McDowell (for hilarious mugs, tote bags, note pads, and dish towels)
• Terrain (for beautiful wreaths and anything a gardener could ever need/want)
• Candelles (for mason jar candles that smell amazing; I love the Cinnamon Bun)
• Urban Outfitters (for home decor, like this honeycomb wood shelf and this pretty linen duvet)
• Amazon (for coffee and chocolate)
• Zulily (for kitchen appliances and home decor. Tip: order early because shipping is slow.)
• Etsy (for beautiful glass terrariums, colorful wooden spoons, and dipped twig pencils)

For clothing, shoes and accessories:

• Madewell (because Transport Tote, denim and buffalo check)
• J.Crew (their gift guide is one that I actually like!)
