about the holiday gift guide

The goal of the Holiday Gift Guide is to support the work of independent artists, designers, and makers through collaborative marketing that result in sales.

In a world of platforms, AI, and mass production, I wanted to take a step back and get back to my roots: being a curator and creator, while supporting others who do the same. So let’s collaborate and revitalize the artist / designer / maker movement.

Let’s make this season awesome!

  • Must fit the aesthetic of the site (Bold, modern, contemporary, and/or minimal. Wild card: Weird and quirky).
  • Must be small batch, handmade, handcrafted, or otherwise created by you.
  • Well photographed. We use your photography, so style and quality is important
  • Already sold online
  • Must promote your work in the guide and be commited to supporting all those involved in the guide regardless of stage of business
  • Must promote in social media, web/blog, email, friends & family
  • BONUS: offer a discount

Stay in touch!
