Last week, I approached my fantastic and creative team with a request they hadn’t received before — to select items for a gift guide! No, the turkey isn’t in the oven yet, but let’s face it, the holiday season has definitely arrived!
I’m always amazed by the sense of freedom, generosity, and high spirits that comes with this time of year. Joy is in the air (and in the office), and we can feel it almost as tangibly as the chilly air on our cheeks. Can you feel it too?
Which is why we think this is the perfect time of year for being bold and taking a chance on yourself. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment, the time is now, my friend — the time for courage, self-expression, authenticity, and living a life that sets your soul on fire.
Our gift guide was designed to help you do just that. From items to experiences, the following selections are colorful, unique, inspiring, functional, and yes, even brave.
I hope you’ll find the perfect gift options for inspiring and emboldening the special people in your life. Or, you could always send this blog post to anyone who asks what you want this year. 😉
Enjoy + live vibrantly!
