Shop Small: Gift Picks From Our Favorite Boston-Based Businesses
Hey look, it’s us!
We’re thrilled to be featured in the current issue of Boston Home Magazine. In keeping with our love for all things Boston, we’ve pulled together a few of our favorite things from makers in and around Boston. We love supporting fellow small business owners all year round, but especially so this holiday season. Collaboration is at the heart of how we design and create, and it also guides how we work alongside makers like ourselves.
So, with that: skip the flooded inbox full of holiday marketing e-mails, get cozy (a throw might help) and explore some of our favorite picks below. Whether you’re on the lookout for a holiday gift or just excited to meet some of the creatives here in Boston (we are!), we’ve got you covered.

Jill Rosenwald –
Mini Belly Bowls
“She’s cool and so are her Mini Belly Bowls. These cuties come in whatever colors and prints Jill dreams up. Use them for whatever you wish. I use mine for berries or snacks.” -Jadine

Faith’s Naturals –
Deeply Moisturizing Body Oil in Brown Sugar
“There’s absolutely nothing good about dry skin. New England’s Winter season can be brutal on skin but I choose to protect mine with a slew of things. One of my absolute favorites is Faith’s Naturals Deeply Moisturizing Body Oil in the scent Brown Sugar. I admit I am addicted to the stuff.
Faith blends a mix of luxurious oils with rose-hips and cinnamon spice... oh that’s nice. Never over powering, it layers beautifully under your Winter scents or you can try it at bedtime. Bonus, Faith’s Naturals is a Woman Owned Business.” – Jadine

December Thieves –
“I appreciate the effort that is put into finding product from emerging designers and smaller brands. There is a story behind each piece and it’s an important part of their message. It resonates with us!
Each and every thing in the store has a one-of-a-kind feel, which makes for easy but soulful gifting. You can’t go wrong, but I have my eye on this Sasa Blue Ceramic Head Vase and Fringe Detail White Glazed Stoneware Vase. I also love all of their beautiful, intricate bobby pins, but this Pearl Set Leaves Bobby Pin might be my favorite!” -Sheila

Acquire Good –
Bare Trees Votive Candle
“Gifting shouldn’t be difficult but often one wanders aimlessly in large department stores. I can certainly think of ways not to spend my day. Fear not, I’ve got a one stop shop for you. Take a spin to Hingham and visit Tamala at Acquire Good. Here you will find curated gifts for everyone on your list including one of my favorite candles by Tatine, Bare Trees. If you need to be pointed in the right direction, Tamala will be there to give you the very best suggestions. I promise you that you won’t regret it. Acquire Good is also a Woman Owned Business.” - Jadine

America's Test Kitchen –
America’s Test Kitchen Complete Cookbook
“I just adore how meticulous they are about the recipes they print. They are straight forward and they think of everything. This makes their recipes fool proof for the at home chef. Grab yourself a copy.” -Jadine
