A chill in the air and dark mornings; it seems like all of a sudden Fall is upon us. Days are shorter and my body senses the need to stay in. I put an extra blanket on my bed. I start my mornings in quiet stillness. I enjoy this transition from active summer nights to slower routines. This also seems like a good time to pause and prepare before the excitement of the holidays begins.
Pretty soon there will be a lot to do and a lot to attend. Fall is a great time to get prepared, but also to savor this downtime, to make space for stillness and reflection, and embrace the changing of the seasons.
Instead of racing into the next big thing, let's take our time and ease into the holidays with intention. Remembering that the season is not all about parties and gifts, but also about reflection, finding peace, and connecting with yourself and loved ones.
This year, let's keep it simple. A thoughtful card, a fun puzzle, or an artistic journal, can be the perfect, meaningful gift that invites rest, reflection, and joy. Here are a few of our favorite ideas from our Holiday Collection to make your season more mindful and full of heart.
Holiday Puzzles: the Perfect Host Gift or Family Night-In
Our holiday puzzles are a celebration of art and a great way to spend an evening this season!
They make wonderful hostess gifts, stocking stuffers, or family-night traditions. Each puzzle is printed with stunning artwork that turns downtime into a mindful moment.
(Tip: Pair one with a box of hot cocoa or a favorite candle for the ultimate cozy gift.)
Journals for Reflection, Gratitude & New Beginnings
Winter invites us to turn inward: to celebrate what we’ve experienced, let go of what we don’t need, and prepare for what’s next. Our blank lined journals are the perfect place to write down year-end gratitudes and set goals for the year ahead.
Great as last minute gifts for anyone - be sure to have a few of these on hand!
(Tip: Add a pen set or a daily reader for a thoughtful bundle.)
Christmas Cards! The Heart of the Holidays
In a world of quick texts and emojis, a handwritten card means more than ever. Our Famous Christmas Cards are like sending works of art. Every card is designed by an artist and written with love. From religious to funny to beachy, we have the largest selection of cards!
So whether you tuck one into a gift, slip it under a bow, or send it on its own, a beautiful card has a way of lasting long after the holidays are over.
(Tip: Keep a box on hand for those last-minute gifts or thank-yous! A card, journal, and candle make a perfect trio!)
Gifts That Create Space for What Matters
Amid the holiday hustle, the most meaningful gifts are often the simplest ones. We don't need to complicate the holidays or stress ourselves out. A heartfelt card, a timeless puzzle, or reflective journal will truly share the love and connection we all seek this time of year.
Remember what truly matters.
