Gifting for art lovers seems easy in practice. Giving specially tailored art gifts for adults is a different territory. We can do better than polyester Van Gogh tote bags and magnets. If there is one thing art lovers appreciate, it’s thoughtfulness.

I exclusively shop secondhand and I’ve lived in the Bay Area my whole life. You can trust me on these recommendations. Some are specific locations and others are curated boutiques! Lil something for everyone.

My favorite sustainable brands to support this holiday season (check those shipping times though!!) because shopping small/local is better for our planet + everyone. Read more on sourcing gifts in a Substack article I wrote in my bio!

Some pics I curated for fall + winter for my “In My Cart” feature on Substack :) Can also be used as a gift guide for your cool friend/sibling/partner…

I take smelling good seriously and have been chasing down my signature scent for years. Here are some of my favorite fragrances for anyone who loves florals, marshmallow, wood, and scents that are a combo of the three🩷

I buy almost all of my clothing secondhand, but you can’t always find everything you’re looking for at a thrift store. I’ve tried almost every secondhand app out there as a buyer and a seller!

My weekly rotation of shoes I wear to work and out and about that are comfy enough to withstand the hills of San Francisco :) I’ve had all of these for over 6 months and they’ve stood the test of time!

Trusted recs from an acne prone girly with sensitive skin! I’ve repurchased all of these over and over again :)
