Top 5 Favorite Gifts for 2022
So my sibling got married last weekend, and my best friend’s wedding is this weekend .. and regretfully, I will not be attending either. I never imagined a world where I would miss those life events but here I am on the other side of the world with a young family and I didn’t make it happen.
My mindset has been on gifts especially with Mother’s Day recently passing and Father’s Day quickly arriving. I recognize the added time and thought that goes into purchasing from a small business like TOGETHER TEXTILES for gifts to others or yourself. As someone who loves curating the perfect gift for the humans in my life, I decided to share my list of fav products that I have gifted or that have been gifted to me during 2022.
I just know that you know someone (probably yourself?) that deserves something special while supporting small.
Top 5 Favorite Gifts for 2022
Small Business Edition
Mary Allan Skincare - Infused Beauty Water
Living in a hot climate, I wipe my face (with my Turkish towel) all day long. So every time I walk into my bedroom, I mist my face and neck (sometimes 4 times a day!). It is ultra-fine and dries before I leave the room, heightens my senses and sense of humanness, and hydrates my skin!
It’s never too late to fall in love with your life by Waylon H. Lewis
I follow an indie media and mindful community on Instagram called @ElephantJournal. This is where I first heard of this book release by the founder of Elephant Journal. Also, it is marketed as carbon negative book - what? already so cool.
1820 House Candle Company - Elemental Signature 22 oz
Candles are important to any ritual. Having the presence of fire and scent adds so much to our human sensory experience. I always treat my quiet time as a ritual. If you don’t, you can start now.
Cloudland: the secret land that only I can see by Regan Noelle Smith - Poetry Book
I met Regan a few weeks before we moved to Turkey at a @makeitposhpicnic and felt an instant connection. I purchased her most recently released poetry book and brought it to Turkey to turn to during my new commitment to adding more “me” time into my life. I love the place this book transports me to.
Together Textiles - Through the Clouds Turkish towel - fog
Would the list be complete without one of our own? We recently gifted this towel to our new friend (which we met at @TheCityFlea), Morgan, Founder of Skinny Dip Jewelry. She wore hers as a shawl during her most recent trip to @WestCoastCraft. The versatility and easy washing makes it the perfect travel companion!
Let me know if you like this list or if there’s anything I should add to my personal wishlist! Find me either in IG DM’s or leave a comment.
Hope you’re enjoying your day and living your life!
With love,
xx Allie
