Gifts For People Who Thrived In Quarantine

Vaccines have made it possible to gather safely in certain settings, and as wonderful as that is, some of us would still prefer a cozy night in. We've pulled some perfect gifts for this group that just so happen to be some of our favorite things.

At Penny Post, we have several cards and a few gifts specifically celebrating introverts. Our favorite is probably A Turtle's Guide To Introversion. Being an introvert comes with numerous advantages and the occasional woe, and no animal knows that better than the humble turtle hiding in its shell. This book celebrates introverts and their many wonderful, often-underrated qualities. A good read and limited edition holiday candle have all the makings of a good night at home. We also love this beautiful Heartell Press art print. A perfectly content duo living in what appears to be a snow globe. Not to be overlooked, Sapling Press gets it right every time with their cards and key tags, many of which fit this particular brand of gifting.

Available at Penny Post: Introvert Pin, $12; Not Talking Card, $6; Sorry I'm Late Keytag, $10; Art Print, $24; Holiday Candle, $35; A Turtle's Guide to Introversion, $16.95

Red Barn Mercantile's extensive barware collection is an easy mark for holiday gifting. So many great mixers and cocktail books to choose from, but don't forget the wine! We've pulled a few things that pair nicely for a lovely night in. We are advocates for kitchen adventures and experiments. Some of us got into baking and cooking during quarantine, some got (deeper) into puzzling, and some of us got into wine. So, grab a little something to celebrate whatever hobby or interests you found at home and enjoy those low-key evenings!
