Welcome to our blog! We’ve been bursting at the seams with gift ideas, advice, philosophy, trends…and now, drum roll please…we have a place to share it all with you! Here’s a taste of what you’ll get from us weekly.

Gift Guides

We study what’s trending, read reviews, and stalk follow well-known style bloggers. We mine big retailer sites like Amazon and Nordstrom for hidden gems and seek out regional boutiques like TheShop in East Liberty(Pittsburgh, PA) or Firefly in Venice Beach, CA that offer unique inventory you can’t find anywhere else. We figure out who would love which gifts the most, and report our findings back to you. We do the work, and you get all the credit.

The Science of Gifting

Let’s be honest. Giving a good gift is hard. Giving a really awesome gift every time is nearly impossible. But we can help! We’ve got tons of experience and lots of advice to share. You may not always like what we say (it may hit a little too close to home), but our goal is to steer you a little closer to the impossible every time.

Curators’ Corner

This is just that. We feature our picks of the best gifts and the best boutiques each week. Call it “the Curator’s Corner,” but really it will be your weekly dose of “awesomeness” (and we don’t care if you claim them as your own!). 

And so much more.
