2022 Holiday Gift Guide

My annual gift guide is here! This is something I look forward to compiling & curating each year, because I love gifting. Each holiday season, I share one giant annual gift guide you can refer to all season long. It’s filled with products of all types for everyone on your list. It includes items from small businesses, artists, makers, designers, and all your favorite retail stores… it also includes products that support good causes, budget-friendly items, and so many things Emmett & I own, use, and enjoy. I hope my gift guides continue to make your holiday shopping feel inspired, exciting, and easy. I truly hope it saves you time and helps build excitement for the season ahead! At the very least, it’s fun to brainstorm and add to our future wishlists.

I also want you to know, many of the links in this guide are affiliate links- meaning I make a tiny commission if you make a purchase. If you are going to buy something, I’d be so appreciative if you use the links found within my gift guide. That’s what keeps my blog running. As always, thank you so much for your continued support and friendship! On another note, if you’re not doing gifts this year or are trying to avoid spending- please don’t feel pressure. I have plenty of DIY gift ideas, and don’t forget how much fun vintage shopping or baking treats for loved ones can be. My point being- do what feels best for you this holiday season. Ready to see my finds and selections for 2022? Click through and enjoy!

To shop my gift guide, click directly on the items within each collage OR use the numbered links at the bottom (not all items are clickable). Keep on scrolling or click the table of contents to jump around- this is a BIG gift guide, packed full of ideas, and I’ve tried to make it as easy-to-navigate as possible. Enjoy, and have a happy holiday season!

8. PHOTOSHOP CLASSROOM BOOK // I get a lot of questions about Photoshop. If you’re new to Adobe or PSD, check out this classroom book.
9. NIKON SLR // I’ve been shooting with a Nikon SLR since I took my first photography class in art school. This would be a fantastic gift for the serious photographers.
10. TAPER CANDLES // Aren’t these taper candles unique? I like the interesting shape and green color.
11. BLIND CONTOUR ARTWORK // Looking to gift or install art in your home? This blind contour drawing is one of my favorites in our shop. It comes professionally framed.
12. MOUNTAIN PASS COCKTAIL KIT // I’m intrigued by this cocktail in a jar!
13. SHERWIN-WILLIAMS FAN DECK // For the design lovers in your life, gift them a paint swatch fan deck… having all of those colors at your fingertips is pretty incredible.
14. PAINT BRUSH SET // There is nothing better than a fresh set of brushes to get creative with.
15. MANFROTTO TRIPOD // This is my favorite tripod. It’s pricey, but the best. It’s stable, easy to use, and indestructible.

Renovating & Home Improvement

1. RETRACTABLE PEN HOLDER // Put either a pen, pencil, or marker in it. Clip it to your shirt. You will never have to search for your marking device ever again while working on projects!
2. HEAVY DUTY EXTENSION CORD //If you’re going to have just one extension cord, make sure it is a heavy-rated one with a single plug-in. Power tools require more power and a standard home extension cord will not suffice. Get a 25 ft., 12-gauge, single-end cord and you’ll be set!
3. FINISHING NAILER // Perfect for arts & crafts, or installing base, crown, and casing- an assortment of all gauges of air nailers is a must. Get a 16ga., 18ga., and a 23ga. nailer and you will be able to join small intricate wall mouldings or large bulky baseboard.
4. BLUETOOTH EAR PROTECTION HEADPHONES // These are perfect for loud projects, snow blowing, lawn mowing, and other noisy home improvement tasks.
5. IMPACT DRIVER // This is probably our most used tool. Emmett always has this in his hand.
6. MITER SAW // Whether you’re building something small or installing millwork, this saw is a must. We’ve used it for every single renovation project we’ve tackled.
7. AIR COMPRESSOR // We use this small air compressor for running nail guns, including the framing nailer. However, we also use it around the house- putting air in our vehicle tires, etc.
8. OSCILLATING TOOL // This is another tool that sees a lot of use. It’s great for demo, cutting, and is very versatile!
9. LASER MEASURE // Once you have one of these, you won’t want to use your old tape measure ever again. It’s so quick and easy.
10. CORDLESS SCREW DRIVER // This is the perfect gift for any homeowner!
11. GORILLA HOOKS // No more hammer, nails, or screws. Basically everything you see hanging on the walls in our home is hung with these nifty little guys. They used to be called “hercules hooks” but have since rebranded. I believe they also started as an “As Seen on TV” thing. Hah! Emmett and I both swear by these hooks. They hold a lot of weight, are easy to install, and you don’t have to worry about your art or mirrors crashing to the ground (or finding studs).
12. MITER CLAMP SET // Miter clamps allow you to put glue on the two pieces clamp them together and then finish with a nail or two. Your miters will be next level, but more importantly they will stay together until the end of time.
13. WET / DRY SHOP VAC // You know me… I clean. I clean a lot. I can’t stand living amongst the chaos of a construction zone (ugh drywall dust). I’m always following Emmett around with the shop vac.
14. NAIL SET AND COUNTER PUNCH // This spring nail set easily and precisely sets your proud nail, damaging as little of the surrounding area as possible.
15. DEWALT COMBO KIT // This tool set includes an impact driver, a drill, circular saw, and reciprocating saw. A drill allows you to attach different drill bits, a circular saw can rip plywood and other sheet goods, and the reciprocating saw is our demo tool of choice.
16. STEP LADDER // I’m 5’6″… not the tallest. Our step stool is too short for me to reach the ceiling or trim. That’s a problem because I do all of the painting around here. Rather than lugging out the big, heavy ladder, this step ladder has an extra step that allows me to finally reach higher. It’s lightweight, foldable, and compact. I have yet to fall off of it (knocking on wood), so that’s a win! Would recommend.
17. PLASTIC SAW HORSES // Use these for a temporary work bench, painting stands, and pretty much anything else to keep you from crawling around on the ground.
18. LASER LEVEL // I hate math. I love the convenience of setting up a laser level and knowing exactly where to lay tile, hang art, install trim, etc. It doesn’t get easier. With a single click (and zero measuring) you have a perfectly accurate line to start your project with confidence.
