Holiday Gift Guide: 2021 Edition

The product selections from the holiday gift guide: 2021 edition are curated exclusively by me. None of the products is sponsored or gifted. I only recommend products I genuinely love. While I have used some of the products, most of them are still on my wishlist. This year, I am celebrating small businesses, eco-friendly, women-owned brands, and items created by brands that support a cause.

It’s hard to believe that we are almost at the end of the year again. After experiencing insurmountable losses in our lives, including mine, I personally believe in cherishing the moments and gifting our remaining loved ones with thoughtful gifts. Life is precious and unpredictable, and we now know it better than ever before. Let’s share our love and make some beautiful memories in the season of giving.I hope you find the Holiday Gift Guide: 2021 Edition interesting!

"It is not the gift which is precious, it is the love"

Terracotta Vase Collection

SMALL BUSINESS

This collection is my absolute favourite. Perfect if you want to go for a clean, organic and neutral look. I have recently purchased a vase from Osmos, and I am pairing it with fluffy pampers grass.

The Terracotta vase collection consists of three types of earthen vases, the Belly, Bobble, and Bloop. These vases are a unique sculptural take on the traditional Indian pots or Matkas created by local potters and their families who suffered a major setback financially during the locked down last year.

Inspired by Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics and values, Osmos by Varun and Priyanka stands for simplicity, calmness, and modern minimalism not only to homeware but the way we live our lives.

Wellness goes beyond just your physical well being and includes even your mental and spiritual health. What’s better than practising yoga on a mat that is made from sustainable materials and supports a cause?

The Blush Yoga Mat from Kosha Yoga Co. is made with new honeycomb construction, which provides unparalleled grip without adding weight to the yoga mat.

100% natural rubber base provides the perfect stability & cushioning. The plush microfibre top is sweat-absorbent & feels as good as it looks. I think I found my next yoga mat.

SMALL BUSINESS | WOMAN OWNED

Most of the time, getting a great pair of sandals becomes a gruelling task. The type of heel and the size becomes the most significant factor for me. This beautiful pair from House of Prisca has my heart. Just the correct shade, the perfect heel and the right amount of bling. The best customisation is that you can even get the soles printed. I am going to put this on a Wishlist to gift it to a close friend.

This chic, diamond-studded pair is going to glam up your outfit! It has two diamond-studded ankle straps, a criss-cross strap in front with a diagonal strap all the way! Can it get any better? Completely handcrafted, this pair can be made in any color of your choice! It has a 3.5” pencil heel and a nude organic leather base.

NOTE: They take a minimum of 4 weeks to make all embellished pairs. Please ensure you place the order accordingly for the same.
