The smallest Gift Guide

I really enjoy putting together this lil list because I put a lot of thought and care into it. I look around for inspirational creators that may rock your world, even in the smallest way, of course ;)

One of the hardest parts is not including any current clients of mine in this list because I love them and what they offer oh-so-much. But at least you know it's not bias!

I hope this helps narrow down your holiday shopping and I'm sending lots of cheer to you this December!
​

​For secret Santa:
​Seasonal + local tea from Asheville Tea Co. ​
​
Jessie is newer to the Asheville market which is perfect for secret Santa, you have a slightly better chance that they won't already have her tea! Locally created with upstanding ingredients, this tea is killer and you'd be supporting the WNC farms that help create it! Visit her website for all the shops that sell this tea.

Feeling generous? Asheville has no shortage of cute, handmade, locally made, unique mugs you could add to the gift!

For the woman ready for a fun adventure without the travel: The Ladygroove experience.
​
Allie is a badass photographer located in Greenville (just an hour from Asheville) creating women-inspired and empowering photo sessions for all bodies. Give her a visit on Instagram specifically for a daily dose of lovin-yourself!

Disclaimer: only buy this kind of gift for a recipient who is INTO IT! They should be ready and thrilled for the experience to make the most of it!

Not sure if they're ready? Share Allie's work with them and start feeling it out!

​For your creative bestie:
​A class at The Dry Goods Shop. 

Located in West Asheville, this team offers classes on Printmaking and Sewing and some unexpected options like Marbling Paper and Fabric!

Beautiful locally made products are available for sale in the store if you want to stop by and see more.

For the giver low on cash:
​A coffee date!

Just because the calendar says it's time to give gifts or commercials say it's time to spend your extra cash, doesn't mean you're set up for it. 

Don't stress.

If you have a friend you love dearly but can't buy something for, consider taking them out on a date. They can pick their favorite spot and you can simply spend time together.

Don't play on your phone, don't talk about yourself the whole time, don't boomerang everything. Pay attention to them and just hang out together. They won't be disappointed to have a real connection in a tech world.
