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 Jeff’s and Katie’s exquisite taste.
Troublemakers Puzzle, $40 | “We’re big puzzle people in our household, and this one looks like a challenge!”
Blanchard’s Blend, $13.80+ | “We lived in Richmond, Virginia for three years, and Blanchard’s was our go-to coffee at home.”
Hemming Birds Essential Burp Cloths, $26 | “My wife and I have a newborn son and if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the first few weeks of parenthood it’s that you can never have too many cloths.”
Louisville Bats New Era Hat, $41.99 | “I grew up going to Louisville Redbird games and love that the local minor league team honors that history with these throwback hats.”
Louisville Rainbow Sweatshirt, $55 | “My best friend moved from Louisville to Lexington last year and she’s always trying to forget where she came from. That’s why I plan on gifting her this cozy Louisville sweatshirt to keep her warm — and to always remind her she’s a Louisvillian at heart.”
Azalea Earrings, $50 | “I’m known for wearing funky earrings every day, so I think this pair is perfect to add to my collection. I’m thinking a monochrome blue outfit would be perfect.”
Brewmiceter Ornament, $25 | “My friends and I are doing an ornament exchange this year and this little mouse wearing lederhosen is obviously what I’m buying.”
Sasquatch Carving, $170 | “My mom can’t stop talking about Bigfoot lately, so I figured I’d entertain her latest obsession with this handcarved footprint made of black walnut and red oak.”
Discoball Bolo Tie, $30 | “My New Year’s resolution is to work bolo ties into my wardrobe. This one is at the top of my list.”
Kansas Treehouse Vrbo stay, priced per night | “My partner and I go to Kansas every year for Christmas because that’s where he’s from. We always try to find a neat little spot to stay half way through the drive. I’m thinking this treehouse might be the perfect place to stay over.”

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.”
