2020 Gift Guides

A curated 2020 gift guide for her, for him, for the kids, and the home.

In previous posts, we talked about the data driven “why” of gift guides coming out early in 2020 and kicked it off with a recommendation to send a recipe gift. If you’re feeling like sharing love from your kitchen, make sure to see how to send a recipe package with printables to make our Sweet and Salty Miso Caramel Fudgy Brownies.

When Chris and I started curating this 2020 gift guide, we still felt that every single gift from our 2019 guide was still amazing. So if you’re feeling like you’re still stumped on what to buy someone, make sure to browse our 2019 gift guide for things we use daily, have gifted to others, or would 100% buy ourselves. If you’re also trying to purchase for a first time apartment dweller or someone who needs kitchen gear, look at our list of long-time kitchen essentials.

We hope you enjoy some of these small artists and brand collaborations. We have been following some of these designers and groups for years- before they had product- and love what they do. Even if a specific item doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, we encourage you to browse around on these websites and see some truly amazing gifts.

It’s also important to note that we’ve seen many sites with much earlier than normal holiday cut off deadlines, so order early if timing is important to you!
