Columbus Gift Guide

I love supporting local but I don’t tend to post a lot about Columbus here on my blog because I know many of my readers live all over the world. That doesn’t mean that I don’t love my city. I REALLY love my city. We have the most amazing food scene, such talented artists and  hardworking entrepreneurs. So if you’re living alongside of me in the midbest OR you just like these amazing items – order now! They’d make fabulous Christmas gifts.

  1. Grandiflora’s Confetti Stemless Glassware // $58
  2. Pluma Jewelry‘s Cage wrapped azurite necklace (only available in store at Thread, they’re all one of a kind)
  3. Jeni’s Salty Caramel Sauce // $13
  4. By Luciana’s Hello Manhattan Print // $15
  5. Igloo Letterpress’ No-Sew Refillable Notebook // $14
  6. 1820 House candles // prices range (the holiday candles are amazing)
  7. While this clutch isn’t made locally – support a local boutique like THREAD. Just snagged some Rag & Bone jeans!!
  8. Homage tee // $28
  9. Adam just got this beautba to brew coffee and so we love Backroom Coffee Roasters‘ beans.

  2. I love Danielle’s comment and have really started paying more attention to local, as well as handcrafted, vendors this year. I need to think about maybe doing a similar 50% approach to birthday gifts in the new year! Love this board – Thanks for sharing!

  3. So glad I stumbled upon your blog! My boyfriend is actually from Columbus, but I’ve never been. Looks like I have a vehicle to learn more about his hometown — looking forward to follow along.

    Ps- Love the confetti glassware!

  4. My boyfriend went to Ohio State and every few months he asks if we can move to Columbus. He loves it! I’m not completely against it because there seem to be some really great things coming out of the city.

    Kurt also LOVES Homage. I swear 90% of his t-shirt collection is from there. Great collection of Cbus items!

  • Flew out of Columbus last night in single degree digits and woke up to some sunshine + a black sesame matcha latte.
  • When I sit down to talk with the women I photograph, we talk about everything except how they look. I get to discuss race, careers, motherhood, sacrifices, proud moments, grief and hope. A photo can freeze that moment in history because, of course, she’ll be different tomorrow. Portrait of @emwduncan. 🌊
  • Anytime I post a photo of myself (those are my arms and legs and fingers), I get way more people who engage with the post. Weird. Well I’m not here to talk about myself. I’m here to ask you for help. My friend @meghan_m_hill (scroll to see all the photos I’ve taken of and with her) needs really expensive surgery so that her quality of life can continue. ▫️ When she got divorced semi-recently, insurance was something she gave up for a healthier life without her ex. I hate that that was something that held her back. So she has to pay tens of thousands of dollars ($100k to be exact) for care. ▫️ If you donate to her GoFundMe linked in my bio with any amount over $10, I’ll enter your name into a drawing for a free portrait session. If you take care of my friend, it’s the least I can do. And if you don’t want to get out your credit card out, you can Venmo me @alliepal and I’ll give Meghan the money. Just DM me proof if you donate on GoFundMe. I’ll choose someone for the portrait by Jan 21st. ▫️ Thank you in advance for helping someone in need and someone I care about, too.
  • The first book of 2019, for me, has been consumed. I admire @michelleobama’s drive, empathy, brains and loyalty. According to the internet, we are both an INTJ. Even if that’s not true, I found myself deeply resonating with her constantly asking, “Am I good enough?” The answer is yes. I think I cried six times and if I told you I’d loan you this book after I was done, I probably won’t. I’ll mostly likely read it again and you can buy it yourself. 😂 #alliepalreads
  • I am so proud of my friend @simibotic. When I met her and @timsimeone, she was a lawyer working for someone else. I’ve had the extreme joy in helping her business become a real thing (a tiny bit, she’s a magical person with a lot of drive and focus). Now she has her own office space and has truly carved out a life on her own terms. Thanks for letting me document this journey through photography, Simi! ▫️ ALSO I’m now offering monthly or quarterly photography packages for coaches, freelancers and one-person businesses. It’s a fun way to keep things fresh. DM me if you’re interested and we can set up a time to chat. 💕
