For the crafty friend on your list, give them something they’ll love. From tools and hobby crafts, this list is packed with everything the DIYer on your list could ever ask for (even if they don’t).

Sometimes the holidays create unnecessary pressure to give really heartfelt and meaningful gifts. But as an adult, I’ve learned that most people just want something from “their list.” They want that thing they’ve had their eye on but wouldn’t spend the money on for themselves. Here’s a list of items we use regularly that make our lives easier and will definitely be USED and loved by anyone on your list.

Christmas can be tricky when it comes to giving gifts to the waste-conscious. If you’ve decided to exchange gifts and want to give them something that’s eco-friendly, this list will be helpful in guiding your search. We have made many sustainable swaps over the past few years and tested so many products, and realized they are not all made the same. These are our favorites or gifts we know your composting vegetarian friend will love.

If anyone on your list is a new homeowner, you can bet they’ll need a few things this year. As young homeowners ourselves, these finds are all gifts we use ourselves and find both practical and luxurious around our home.

It’s that time of year, and this year, we’re determined to get a head-start on our holiday shopping. If you need a little inspiration, we’ve created several custom gift guides filled with brands and products we love.
