Every year, I try to choose gifts that feel personal — things people will actually use and enjoy. Over time, I’ve been lucky to collaborate with brands that make that easy. Each one brings art into daily life in its own way, from home essentials to small luxuries and keepsakes that last.
Here are a few of my favorites this season.
Castelbel Portugal
I’ve been on a no-fragrance, no-paraben phase for a while now, but I can’t wait to try their Fig & Spices scent. Castelbel’s soaps and candles are made in Portugal and feature some of my holiday designs. The fragrances are soft, elegant, and instantly make a space feel warm and festive.

Geometry House
I’ve been using Geometry towels for years, and nothing else compares. They’re incredibly absorbent, lightweight, and made from recycled materials. I’ve tried many brands, but I keep coming back to Geometry because their towels are just that good. I’ve gifted them to my family, friends, and even neighbors, and they’ve quickly become everyone’s favorites.

Lyons Leather Co.
Lyons Leather Co. is one of those small businesses that feels special, not only because of the craftsmanship but also because of Lisa, who runs it with such passion and creativity. I haven’t found a better bag than my Lyons Leather one. It fits everything I need, from my sketchbook to my camera, and somehow looks perfect with everything I wear.

Steel Mill & Co.
For those who love stationery, the Steel Mill & Co. collection bundle includes my designs across notebooks, planners, and other paper goods. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys writing, organizing, or surrounding themselves with things that inspire their everyday routines.

The Conservatory Print Club
And finally, The Conservatory Print Club. This one is close to my heart — a monthly watercolor art subscription where each month brings a new print and postcard. The first series celebrates birth flowers, but each year will explore new themes and stories through watercolor. It’s an easy way to give something lasting and personal, one month at a time.

Whether it’s a towel, a candle, a bag, or a print, I love gifts that connect art with everyday life. I hope this list helps you find something that feels right to share — from small makers, artists, and studios that care about their work as much as you care about the people you’re giving to.
