HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

Christmas is here! Well, almost. But I know all of us have gifts on our mind. I wanted to share some of my favorite local brands here in Spokane--and maybe help you find the perfect gift for that hard-to-shop-for person in your life.

1. SWEET BIRCH CO. | SOY CANDLES AND ALL THINGS GOOD-SMELLING

So, Sweet Birch is made even sweeter by the amazing woman behind the candles. Laura is seriously one of the kindest people I know, and she's been busting buns pouring her holiday collection for this season! Her all-natural candles are the perfect concentration of scent, super long lasting, and most importantly ;) -- beautiful.

2. BLACK SHEEP PAPER CO. | ALL THE QUIPPY AND HILARIOUS (AND SOME SERIOUS) PAPER GOODS

Full disclosure--Brittany is my best friend. But! That doesn't mean that these cards aren't absolutely hilarious and perfect for any occasion. You can find her holiday cards and screen printed clothing at POP UP SHOP SPOKANE and also all of the prints on her etsy shop.

3. FLHAIR ACCESSORIES | THE CUTEST HAIR TIES AND ACCESSORIES YOU EVER DID SEE

Ummmm...can anyone say "stocking stuffers"?? These hair ties aren't just hair ties--they are well-packaged, super practical, and come in over 500 different colors and patterns! Bonus?! They're made by the sweetest lady right here in Spokane!

4. ROO APRON | LITERALLY THE BEST PRESENT FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES TO GARDEN

Okay, let's get real here--who has a mom who loves to garden?! Me!! And probably you!! Well, didn't I just make your holiday life the easiest?! ;) The Roo Apron is a one-of-a-kind gardening apron with a pocket that funnels all of your harvested things right out the bottom--plus it comes in adorable colors--AND was dreamed up by the coolest lady boss right here in Spokane.

5. LITTLE BRAAP RACER | EVERYTHING ENAMEL AND CUTE AND TINY

I first came across these local makers at the POP UP SHOP SPOKANE--which is also where you can pick up these adorable enamels locally. Little pins, jewelry, you name it--all handmade right here in Spokane--and the perfect small gift to pin to a gift tag or give to a coworker.

6. LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST ---> POP UP SHOP SPOKANE

Okay, listen. There is no way you're going to walk in here and not find the perfect gift. This small space is packed full of local artisans and crafters and boss business ladies and gents. You have to go if you haven't been yet--it's an actual requirement. They've stocked up for the holidays with some guest businesses and extra items, so go scope it out!!

Also, fun fact, nobody paid me to do this. I really do just love every one of these local makers.

xoxo, Millie
