You have got to be kidding me with these felt finger puppets! This is actually a PDF pattern, so if you’re crafty and you want to gift something adorable and personalized to a little tot, this is perfect!
I have this candle, and I would be absolutely blown away if somebody gifted this to me. There are so many other cute gifts for the home from this shop.
I found this Merry Market shop from a TikTok that sells wrapping paper kits! Despite being sort of meta to gift wrapping paper, I actually think it’s something super practical. OR, you could buy it to use yourself.
Chris exclusively uses a pepper grinder when he cooks. Freshly ground pepper will always be better than pepper flakes, and this mill is the perfect grinder for the job, plus it makes for a great gift.
When we put kitchen towels to the test, this was one of the winners, and we’re big fans of all of Olive & Linen’s Turkish towels.
Nobody has cuter Christmas pajamas than Hanna Andersson. Get a pair for the whole family and unwrap them on Christmas Eve!
Nobody does lip balm better than Poppy & Pout! Gift the whole set of 10, or gift them to your 10 favorite people!
This paint-by-number shop is the most sophisticated I’ve ever seen. They have stunning motifs in muted palettes, and I love the idea of gifting a project resulting in owning original art.
For some reason, finding quality dog products that don’t clash with the home aesthetic is harder than you’d think, but not anymore! Cricket graduated from her kennel and is officially sleeping in this boucle bed, and she couldn’t be happier.
House of Jade has become one of my favorite small shops. I added these brass bells to my Christmas decor, and I’m so obsessed with them.
If you’re surprising your loved ones with a phone, remember to snag them a phone case from our favorite Walli Cases.
We have these prints in the guest house, and we get compliments on them all the time. You get two for the price of $29, and if you really want to make somebody’s day, frame them before you gift them.
Have you ever seen such a pretty pair of pearl earrings?? There are so many other cute pieces to choose from, perfect for gifting to your favorite person.
I wish my kids were small again so that I could gift them this wooden climbing set. This will keep your little ones busy for hours.
I’m a big fan of pennants, and this shop has such cute ones that you can customize and gift to a loved one.
We’re big fans of Korie Herold, the creator of this book and our favorite Christmas Memory Book. Gift this heirloom-quality book to any married couple so they can keep track of their life goals and memories.

Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
