The countdown is on.
It almost feels like a finish line. And its documented for us, oh so clearly when we wake up and see that advent number moved by our children on their own each morning after they’ve searched for those elves. They’re so excited. And all we want for Christmas is a few days to chill in our PJ’s and binge watch Netflix.
Santa, can you hear me? {Bonus points if you’re now singing the Britney Spears song, because we totally are. No judging.}
It’s about this time of year when we get back up from our pre-disposed fetal positions and realize that the world will keep moving without us… even if we stay in denial on the floor. And that we need to get our act together in the land of checking our lists twice and wrapping… and then running out for last minute ideas. It’s inevitable.
And today, in case anyone is in a similar boat, and doesn’t really feel like running out but maybe making something or having it delivered right to your front door from us… we thought we’d share our fourth and final round up of products and diy inspiration from yours truly:
Gift ideas for the Sentimentalist!
We all know the sentimentalist. The one who loves displaying special trinkets, photos of moments worth remembering and items that remind them of those special times they just don’t want to forget. From vintage to symbolic, everything has meaning and purpose. Here’s a few of our fave round ups, just for them. Or you… Just sayin’.
1. If our books are on your radar this year, they’re still on sale and in a great bundle for a limited time at 40% off. Ya just can’t beat these prices. Why for the sentimentalist? Because they’re filled to the brim with ideas for one of a kind decor in capturing memories, along with original inspiring art. Done and done.
2. Ornaments {in y’all or joy-full} in that special, hand lettered finish by us. Just in time to capture it on the tree for anyone who adores unique pieces- and a sentimental gift if it’s from you…
3. Whale of a Tale – metal sign. Because everyone should have a whale sign as amazing as this. And he’s happy. And sentimental people are happy, too. Therefore, metal whale sign. Okay fine. We just really like this sign. Shhhhhh.
4. Our DIY instagram frame. We’re basically making up for the randomness of no. 3 with this gem. You could make one for your home, or a loved one. Big, or small. Just check out the how to here. Because special photos of loved ones are the ultimate art.
5. Have an envelope from a special event? We took this one – the one my great great grandparents’ marriage certificate was mailed in when they eloped to the courthouse, {on Christmas day, nonetheless} and had it enlarged and printed and mounted in a fun frame. We love the idea of big impactful art that makes a special statement. Read the details here!
6. This level is probably bigger than your kids. But oh the stories large marge could tell! Something special for the sentimentalist who loves treasures with a history!
7. These sweet little Whale of a Tale prints available on our stationery – because sentimentalists are great at using their words to tell others how they feel. So why not bring back the lost art of snail mail with something thoughtful? The perfect gift for someone who’s love language is all about words of affirmation.
8. You’re Killin’ Me Smalls – {available in baseball and our classic tee} because it’s one of the classics. And sentimentalists love classics. We just say this to our kids all the time, and they basically have no idea what we’re talking about… Pssst: Don’t miss out on our sales!
9. We Are Living Our Adventure – It’s our theme for the last few years. Because life is hard and beautiful all at the same time… it’s definitely an adventure. So you might as well live it that way.
10. Je t’aime – because people don’t say I love you enough. And I love you in french, with our hand lettered wording… is even better.
In the age of rampant texting and email overload, it’s time to reclaim the lost art of writing and sending things in the mail… delivered by a real live person. It’s yours for the taking. For love!
Maybe you can get really crazy and write something in cursive. -Set of 8 A6 notecards featuring our original art printed on smooth cover card stock paired with lavender baronial envelopes.
11. A life well lived – use these fun free ticket printables and our how to, to put something special together for those you love. Sentimentalists love all things symbolic! This, my friends… is right up their alley.
12. Because tea towels remind us of our grandmother’s house. And everyone needs a tea towel to remind them of grandmothers. And yeah… it’s a stretch. Let’s go with it. Still a good idea…
13. Handmade pinch pots – it’s a lost art. And nothing says I love you to the sentimentalist like something handmade. Perfect for kiddos or even accents in your own home for a little holidaisical crafting fun! We can all use a little more of that.
