Holiday Lights & Women’s Rights T-Shirt
I absolutley adore my Holiday Lights & Women’s Rights t-shirt.
I purchased this from Thistle Farms. They are a non-profit social enterprise helping women survivors recover and heal from prostitution, trafficking, and addiction.
I love that this t-shirt empowers women while making a statement + being festive.
Holiday Candles from Corvus Beauty
I purchased one of every Winter Scented candle from Corvus Beauty! They are all wonderful and festive!
Corvus Beauty is a woman owned brand that focused on making candles with clean and sustainably sourced ingredients. The candles are made with lead-free, cotton wicks and bioregional, Midwest USA grown soy.
I think my favorite scent is the Evergreen Woods, but I’m obsessed with the look of the Yuletide candle in the bear jar.

I purchased holiday pajamas from The Company Store for our entire family…pets included!
I love that these pajamas are cotton flannel and hold the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification. They are so cozy!

Handmade Holiday Mug
You might have see ny Instagram post about this mug! I love this mug so much! I’d been following Riverlane Clay for awhile, but missed the holiday mug drop last year. So, I was so excited to purchase one this year.
I love how this coffee mug is handmade in small batches, festive, practical, and a piece of art! You can see a bit more in my video.
Plus, Riverland Clay gives back by donating a portion of their proceeds to Moms Demand Action, Planned Parenthood, and the ACLU, and other similar organizations.
Nordic Spice Creamed Honey
I’d previously purchased from Rainy Day Bees at my local farmers market. So, I was thrilled to hear they had a store front for the holiday season. I was able to taste a few of their honey options and I’m obsessed with the Nordic Spice Creamed Honey.
It’s so unique, so I bought a few to gift as well.
Fresh Holiday Wreaths
While we aren’t able to have a real Christmas tree because of our cat, but I do purchase a wreath every year for the fresh tree smell.
Turkish Delight
While holiday shopping at Pike Place Market, I popped into Turkish Delight for lunch and it was so amazing. Such a kind family that makes amazing food!
I enjoyed a wonderful combo lunch, some Turkish coffee, and took some Turkish Delight home to share and it has been a tasty treat!
