Happy December. We thought we’d ring in the most festive month of the year appropriately — with holiday gift guides featuring our editors’ top present picks.
Scroll to shop, get inspired, and maybe even snag a locally made gift or two, courtesy of Molly’s and Grace’s exquisite taste.
Botanical Bones Treat Bundle, $42 | “My gift shopping always seems to revolve around my dog, Reginald. He’s a huge fan of treats regardless of their health properties, but I’d rather find ones like these that support digestion, calm moods, and longevity.”
We Are So Funkful Art Print, $36+ | “There’s a blank spot of wall above my bar cart that’s just desperate for a piece of art, so what would be a better fit than a bar scene through a slightly tipsy gaze? If you look closely, you’ll recognize the pre-renovation Funkatorium.”
AVL Flora Unisex Crew Neck Sweatshirt, $55 | “This time of year, I’m on a frequent quest to stay cozy. But that doesn’t mean I have to abandon style in the pursuit. The simple, bright botanical illustration on this sweatshirt caught my eye immediately.”
Custom Pet Portrait Denim Jacket, $267+ | “I’ve seen the t-shirts, prints, even the socks with your dog on them — but this is a new one. I think Reginald would look particularly fetching on denim.”
Rose Haven Vrbo in Key West, Florida, price subject to availability | “I’m hosting the holidays for my family this year out of my tiny apartment. So once it’s all over, I think I’m going to need a vacation (plus, Asheville Airport has direct flights to Key West).”
Spicewalla 10 Pack Signature Blends, $59.99 | “I’m always cheffin’ up in the kitchen and this assortment of spice blends has me so inspired to make some brand new dishes. Not only is the quality top notch, but the colorful packaging makes these spices a feast for the eyes as well.”
LuLu & Oliver Signature Concrete Candle, $36 | “I’m all about creating an ambiance. This sleek, concrete candle looks great on a coffee table and the warm cashmere scent is right up my alley.”
Goldie by Sourhouse + Cooling Puck, $129.95 | “I’ve tried to keep sourdough starter alive several times — and sadly, I’ve yet to have any success. But this simple tool seems like the missing piece I’ve needed to make beauitful, bakery-style loaves all year long.”
Appalachian State Mountaineers Crew Neck, $79.99 | “I’ll never stop reppin’ App State. And despite already having four App State sweatshirts, this one would be a very worthy addition to my collection.”
Emerald Signet Ring, $129+ | “I was drawn to this gorgeous ring because Emerald is my birthstone, but this unisex piece of jewelry would look great on anybody.”
Le Creuset Signature Sauteuse Oven, $239.95 | “I’ve always wanted to start a Le Creuset collection and this indigo shallow dutch oven would be the perfect first piece.”

Brianna: “I’ve recently ditched the purse for a fanny pack to go totally hands-free while walking around town, which is why I’m eyeing these colorful fanny packs from Burlaep. (Pair it with this cute embroidered baseball cap and you’ve got a perfect city ‘fit.)”
Dayten: “We just moved, and I still have to build my reading nook: Methodical’s Ethiopian blend (which I’ve tried, and loved) and some elegant, renter-friendly decor.”
Emily: “I love waking up with a warm cup of chai tea in the morning — especially when it’s in a cute squirrel mug.”
Jessa: “Everyone loves a big fancy candle. Plus, get some decorative matches to... match.”
