The 2025 Holiday Gift Guide

Hey, hello there, friend,

Before we even start, let me say that we just got a fresh new painting drop HERE!

The holidays are here, and if you're anything like me… you want gifting to feel joyful, meaningful, and let’s be honest, efficient. This gift guide is for the ones who want to gain time during the holiday rush and choose something that won’t be tossed aside in a year.

I see so many collectors choosing multiples minis, some for themselves, some for their families, some for the people they love most. It made me realize: gifting art is truly gifting legacy.

And this week, after being completely swept up in soft pastels inspired by Pantone’s Color of the Year Cloud Dancer, it all clicked. Cloud Dancer felt off to me at first… but then I realized how much we all need a moment of quiet, a moment of pause, a breath. This entire collection is filled with those little breaths.

And gifting one of these 6x6 worlds? You’re gifting joy, awe, calm, excitement, uniqueness, and something that becomes part of someone’s life, not temporary clutter.

Below is a guide to help you find the art that matches the people in your world.
