I always appreciate gifts that are handmade, secondhand, or support small or local businesses! (Last updated: May 1, 2025)

Mead
I love mead! It’s always great to have a bottle or two around the house to sip on. I discovered this meadery at a local farmer’s market.

Things that smell good
Like fancy scented candles open_in_new or incense open_in_new . Some notes I like are: ozone, cedar, musk, moss, honeycomb, amber, and patchouli.

Custom Key Blank ($13)
I use my keys every day and I think it would be fun to have a cool one. You buy the blank, and then I’ll get it cut to be my house key. Easy!
-
Avant l’Orage ($35)
After receiving a sample set from Maison Matine (you know who you are!) I’ve found that I really love this perfume and would love a full size of it. See, the sample sets do work.
-
Clue Perfume Sample Set ($35)
Another perfume sample set that I’m particularly interested in. All four scents sound very abstract and atmospheric, and I’m curious to sniff their interpretations.
-
Boy Smells Exploratory Set ($42)
While I normally go for indie perfumes, there are some commercial houses coming out with interesting stuff, and Boy Smells is one that I’ve heard good things about.

Chuck Taylor All Star Canvas ($65)
Color: Natural Ivory | Size: 7.5
My current pair of Converse (identical to these) are half-torn apart. Duct tape can only do so much, and yet I still haven’t gotten around to replacing them!
-
Silver Clay Starter Set ($120)
I love cute little jewelry pieces and I think it would be so fun to try making some myself! Silver clay is a pretty easy introduction into jewelry making.
-
Massage ($135)
1 hour massage
I love getting massages, and this specific practitioner specializes in craniofacial work that gives me a ton of relief from jaw issues.
