the intentional gift guide
the intentional gift guide
We all know what it feels like to receive a thoughtful gift. Regardless of the price tag, the fact that someone thought of and gifted you with something valuable…it leaves a mark.
I really enjoyed creating these gift guides as I made them with my loved ones in mind.
Please note, these are all companies I trust and use myself. For that reason, I’ve chosen to partner with many of them and will make a small percentage from your purchases.
