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!

  • Even though I’m an artist and adore art (um, who doesn’t?), the artwork in our home was always an afterthought. Adam and I moved in together 10 years ago and I am just now starting to choose our artwork more intentionally. I find myself choosing things that resonate, bring back memories and move me. ✨ My most recent purchase was a fun one. My grandpa had a piece of artwork that hung in their dining room. It was a painting of an opera house at night, most likely after a show had let out. There is a woman walking off with someone in the corner of the piece. I would stare at it and think, “Someday when I’m older, I can go to the opera and wear something fancy.” I couldn’t locate the piece at my grandpa’s house after he died so I hunted through my mom’s old photo boxes for a picture featuring the framed artwork. Sure enough, I found one and could faintly make out the artist’s name. I found it on eBay and it gets delivered this week! I can’t wait to hang it in our own dining room. The internet is so cool.
  • While I was sick the last two weeks, Desh sat beside me like the good guard dog nurse that he is. Also, this is about as close as we get to the balcony off our bedroom. Very much scared of heights over here. 👋🏽 But I’m feeling human again and am so thankful for clients, teammates and husband who were understanding and helped life go on.
  • Moved into a new house, both got sick, finishing up an antibiotic today, hosted all weekend and my sleep quality has been so awful (this is really rare for me). Please share how you re-center after some low key chaos and/or any sleeping advice. I also welcome baby fiddle leaf advice. 🌱 💤🙏🏽
  • We’re officially Short North dwellers! We may not have the right curtains or any artwork hung yet but our kitchen is set up and we have so much more room that I’ve had to use the “Find My iPhone” app. The funny thing is, our old house was the exact same square footage as this one but it feels so much bigger. My fave parts of the new place? Hardly any storage for shit we don’t use (yay minimalism!), a balcony off the bedroom, the biggest backyard there ever was and so much space to host. Desh has found the coziest corner and seems to approve.
  • Happy five year studio-versary to us! On February 28, 2014 we got the keys to this place. I have distinct memories of Adam’s dad installing our floors, @bobbyjocson_ helping late hours, @timsimeone building our conference table. Since then, we’ve served hundreds of clients, hosted over 110 events, had one amazing reno by @mixdesigncollective, and set off the security alarm countless times. Sometimes I dream of something smaller, sometimes I wish it was bigger. Who knows how long we’ll be here but I’m grateful right now.
