Shop Small - Artist Gift Guide

A few things made by people who make the world brighter.
Buy one, and you’re not just giving a gift... you’re helping someone creative stay fed, inspired, and a little more hopeful.

Honestly, I don’t know how we’d make it through without artists. Happy artist-supported shopping.

Love,
Carissa

Something sweet to give to someone who could use a little festive magic this year.

A tiny square of fabric that makes the perfect gift for the friend who notices the little things.

A way to help someone keep their most beloved friend close, even when they can't be in the room.

or the friend who always keeps track... whether it’s board games, card nights, or every little victory in between.

For your aesthetically inclined friend who even makes hydration look artful.

For someone who deserves cozy mornings and slow, happy afternoons at home.

A shirt to gift someone who loves art, humor, and a little bit of mystery all at once.

Gifts that are small enough to hang, but big enough to warm someone’s whole heart.

Something cozy, strange, and perfect for gifting to someone who loves to watch the world with their cat.

A matching set of joy for the kid (or grown-up kid) in your life who loves a little magic.

Paper so lovely, giving it feels like a gift in itself.

For the person whose bag somehow always holds everything you forgot.

And since we make cards, you know what we’re going to say: the best gift is still a hand-written note to tell someone what they mean to you.

Merry season. xo
