Hey there, it's Amanda.

Welcome to my gift navigation primer! We are all busy, but I know that most people want to put thought into the gifts they give. I went through our shop and selected products that are beautifully made, that solve a problem, that are delightful—or, often, all three!

Stand-out gift ideas:

Every home deserves a salad dressing bottle that's both functional and sleek.
If you have a cheese nut in your life, they'll be thrilled to no longer have to suffocate their precious Reblochon in plastic wrap.
A gift to pair with the above vault: cheese knives in handsome colors. Go for the gold or vintage finish, not that I'm trying to micromanage your gift giving. But I am.
A superb design for your most superb friend.
A cookbook stand your recipient will happily display on their counter, with or without a cookbook on it.
Japanese precision. Feather weight. Cooks like a dream.
Anyone who has stairs or front steps will love you for this ingenious design.
Pendleton has been making excellent blankets since the 1860s. Schoolhouse collab'd to make an exceptional design. This blanket will be in your family for generations.
A beautifully-made Scrabble board for the hard-to-please.
This candelabra and a set of sweetly imperfect candles is ideal for someone who's just kicking off their entertaining era.

A gift wrapping idea:

I like to buy tree ornaments and add one to another gift's wrapping, as a gift on a gift.

In case you're looking for a big ticket gift, a few options:

A one-of-a-kind vintage copper tea kettle
A seasonal wreath subscription
A chic outdoor lantern
A classic Champagne bucket

Don't forget the stocking stuffers! A smattering of my faves:

Hope your gifts are a big hit—happy holidays!
