The season of gift-giving is just around the corner, and if you're anything like me, you're both super excited to give carefully selected gifts to your loved ones and a little overwhelmed.

That's why I'm here with a roundup of some of my favorite products made with love and care by artists!

 

Oracle Cards by Jessica Swift

Jessica's Oracle Cards are uplifting card decks designed to awaken and deepen your connection to wild animal energies. A fold-out sheet with insight into each card's qualities is included. The decks are packaged in a beautiful, sturdy, 2-part, full-color box.

 

Fall Bug Mug by Rebecca Jane Woolbright

Whether you're drinking your morning coffee, evening tea, or something in between—this mug's for you! It's sturdy and glossy with a vivid print that'll withstand the microwave and dishwasher.

Each design is hand drawn by Rebecca in the magical Columbia River Gorge.

 

Art Prints by Ash Cascade

Ash's fine art giclée prints are made from an original India Ink painting. Each print is “made to order” on the highest quality, lightly textured, cold-press paper with archival ink by a local Bend, Oregon fine art printer. Each piece is cut by hand and signed by the artist.

 All of the print sizes are standard, meaning you’ll be able to easily find a frame without having to buy custom! Paper prints will be made to order and processed within 5-10 business days.
