Gift Guide // Gifts For the Home

I am so excited to kick off my holiday gift guide series! Every year I enjoy sharing my picks for gifts for everyone from your spouse to little kids to in-laws. I will be sprinkling my gift guides here and there amidst my content on the blog for the next two weeks. My first Holiday Gift Guide is truly special as it features gifts for the home made by my favorite small businesses.

I love to feature and support small businesses on Confessions of a Northern Belle. Many of the incredibly talented shop owners and I collaborated with over the last year design items for our home.

1. Handcrafted Pillows by The Kawartha Sign & Pillow Co.

One of the easiest gifts to give this holiday season is a beautiful handcrafted pillow. The Kawartha Sign & Pillow Co is an Etsy shop run by two sisters who live in Canada and love anything rustic or farmhouse inspired. Their home decor is sold in shops in Ontario and at local craft shows. We have two Buffalo Red Check Moose pillows, a silly Christmas quote pillow, and a cozy blanket in our home.

2. Silhouette Ornaments by The Longest Time Design

Silhouettes are one of the sweetest gifts to give a loved one, especially when it comes in the form of an ornament you can hang on the tree. The Longest Time Design used a profile photograph of Annabelle and Ailey to create the cutest wooden silhouette ornaments.  We will cherish these ornaments every year on our tree as it captures their innocence and youth. Use code CATALYNBEAR for free shipping on any order of $50+ until December 1. 

3. Cotton Blanket by Chappy Wrap

When a mother and daughter came up with the perfect blend for the world’s softest blanket, the Chappy Wrap was born. I’ve never wrapped myself in anything cozier than the navy Fair Isle Chappy Wrap me and my daughters drag everywhere around the house. Surprise someone you love with one of these blankets! Head to Instagram to check for daily deals on the Winter Collection.

4. Custom Home Illustration by Camden Kate 

Ever since we sold our first home in Georgia and bought a new home in Connecticut, I wanted to be able to honor both places that hold so many memories for my family. We cherish our custom home watercolor illustrations by Camden Kate as we are proud of our homes. If you know someone who loves their house (or their pet), reach out to Camden Kate ASAP and use code FREESHIP for free shipping.

6. Floral Wreaths by Branch N Bloom

A wonderful gift for the home is a beautiful floral wreath by Branch N Bloom. We adore the fall wreath Adriane handmade for us and receive so many compliments from our neighbors. Adriane carefully chooses artificial flowers (that look real!) when she designs one-of-a-kind wreaths, wall decor, and table arrangements made with love and care.

7. Hand-Painted Door Mats by NCDandCo

Many people would be excited for a fun personalized door mat for their own home. Nicole, the owner of Etsy shop NCDandCo, is my go-to girl for designing witty hand painted door mats. She also makes silly wine glasses, coffee mugs, and ornaments!
