OID 2020 Gift Guides

It’s that time of the year again. While there is no doubt that this year is unlike any other, that doesn’t mean we’re not celebrating. If anything, we need more joy than ever, and for me, that includes gift giving. While I always try to be a smart shopper when the holidays come around (and honestly, all year long), I dive all in when it comes to the pursuit of the perfect gift for my friends and family.

This year, I’m combining my specialities (home and style, organizing, self-care, and little ones) as I share my picks for your holiday gifting. Whichever area your loved ones fall under, I hope I’m able to inspire you with these gift guides, making your holidays a bit easier. I’ve also tagged a few gift guides I will be referencing at the end of this post for the other people in your life.

You will see almost all small businesses throughout my guides, because now, more than ever, these amazing brands could use our extra love! 🙂

05. How perfect is this duo? Vermont syrup (the best!) and a silo pitcher from Farmhouse Pottery!

07. This candle snuffer from Abode to keep your candles lasting longer.

03. I’m a die-hard label maker fan and I love how attractive this one is.

04. A classic item with a chic touch – and at a wonderful price – this lazy Susan would be perfect in any home! We use ours to hold olive oil, and salt and pepper.

06. These cane baskets hold a ton and look great in nearly any space; I love them for magazines, kids’ toys, small towels in a linen closet, remotes… the list goes on and on!

07. Looking to tidy up your kitchen or dresser drawers come 2021? You need drawer dividers, trust me. These little gadgets are life-changing. We use them to divide the kids’ cups and plates.

08. There are, of course, plenty of storage box options on the market, but I am particularly drawn to these. Sleek, minimalist with the perfect little handle, I want to get one for Evie’s crayons and markers.
