If you’re shopping for someone who prefers to stay at home, make them feel cozy with a mug reppin’ their favorite city (and make sure it’s filled with Methodical Coffee or tea from Matcha Nude).

Influencer 🛍️

Dress the influencer in your life with bracelets and necklaces from M+H Beads, earrings from Eleven + Jane and AlanaKay Art, or buttoned printed shirts by Block + Ink. Finish the look with a wristlet or messenger bag by Carry Courage.

Adventure seeker 🏕️

Adventurers can relax in outdoor chairs from Trippy Outdoor, keep their brews cold with Kanga Coolers, and catch a big one with fishing supplies from Toadfish. To fully equip them to explore the great outdoors, add a Jack Foster hat + Rheos floating sunglasses.
