Holiday Gift Guide

It's the time of year for lots of gift giving and I want to make sure you have lots of resources to shop locally and sustainably. Speaking as a local maker myself, I love knowing that someone is gifting Copious, so imagine if you were giving locally this entire holiday season, that is so much love!

Doodle Paw Press

For all the kiddos in your life, books are the perfect gift. They expand their mind, give you quality time with them and promotes empathy. Doodle Paw Press has great stories from mythical creatures, to abc's of emotion to their hello series featuring all the best foods. 

 

Outlier Leather Co.

Leather bags are a beautiful gift that will last forever and only get better looking with age. This style from Outlier is so cute, and perfect for anyone is over a big bag. It is perfect for running errands with your essentials or for traveling.

 

Juliana Scherzer

This stunning artist combines local & sustainable. Juliana Scherzer artwork is made from preserved leafs and organic cotton. Her stunning quilt blocks utilizes fallen leaves and references historical craft aesthetics to merge both locally made and sustainable by using natural resources. 

 

Buy Nothing Project

I know a lot of people are opting out of expensive gifts or gift giving in general, but there is something special about giving and receiving a gift. Recently a friend told me that their friends were doing a Secret Santa, but the presents all had to come from a Buy Nothing Group. I instantly loved this idea, it's such a beautiful way to gift give without adding more waste! Join your local Buy Nothing Group on Facebook and starting stalking the page to find the perfect gift!

Copious

THREADED is a collection full of one-of-a-kind pieces, and I love seeing these given as gifts. It is such a special moment to see someone search the racks for the perfect THREADED piece for that special someone. Each item is upcycled from a stained, damaged or unwanted sweater, making this a sustainable collection and a great gift for anyone that is eco-conscious. 

 

Paume

Paume is skincare brand for your hands. Our hands go through so much in a day, so we need to take care of them and who doesn't love a delicious hand cream as a gift, especially when its locally made, that's extra luxurious! Plus buying locally-made skincare is better for you and our planet because Paume's formulas are clean.

If you want to give an epic gift, this is it! Guess Where Trips has built everything you need for an epic road trip and to explore a new community. Here's how it works, you select the area you want to explore, then select your day trip. You can receive a beautifully crafted package digitally or in the mail.
