Holiday gifting season commences! This year we're promoting our Shop Small 2020 initiative sharing our wedding industry friends' gift wish lists from the small business shopping platform, Etsy.
Today, we're sharing a curated list by one of our favorite wedding dress designers: the cool, the modern, the ever-so-lovely Megan Lawrence of The LAW Bridal.
You may have seen her latest, revelatory 2021 wedding dress collection that debuted on Bridal Musings last month. The new collection gives us modern, minimalistic brides the chance to make a powerful fashion statement thanks to mix & match separates, incredible architectural designs & even a sexy pantsuit.
The LAW Bridal continuously bucks the trends, creating a modern bridal style that's entirely her own. Refreshing & nuanced, her gowns & separates prove that minimalist bridal does not have to be boring or simple.
So, it's no surprise that Megan's Etsy gift list embraces modern necessities & minimalist design. And having released a wedding dress collection that makes use of eco-friendly fabrics, her values stay true with environmentally-conscience stocking stuffers like beeswax wraps & handmade produce bags (so smart!) and beautiful, natural cotton wardrobe staples.
Small Gifts & Stocking Stuffers from Etsy (that people will actually use!)
Re-Usable Produce Bags – I can never bring myself to use the plastic produce bags at the store so half the time I end up with produce all over the bottom of my cart (gross). These re-usable bags are small enough to keep in your tote and come in a variety of sizes to accommodate any loose fruits + veg!
Beeswax Food Covers – My husband and I are always looking for ways to reduce waste and re-use our goods. These covers come in so many fun prints + colors, all while allowing us to ditch the plastic wrap and aluminum foil.
Silicone Straws – Definitely running with a theme so far, but these straws are so handy. The multi-pack makes sure you always have a spare, and pro-tip: cut one in half for smaller sized beverages.
On My Etsy Wishlist
Wardrobe Staples – While I try to make and recycle a lot of my own clothes, I love supporting small designers whenever I’m looking for something special. Plus, they say food tastes better when someone else is cooking, right? ;) If you’re like me, you’ll be giddy to find pieces like these where comfort meets style meets quality meets simplicity like this retro puff sleeve dress or this Korean-style shirt dress.
Mask Lanyard – This shop has so many incredible options to spice up your mask-wearing, especially if you have to have one on hand throughout the day and don’t want to be fumbling around for the last place you set it down. These pieces may be marketed towards glasses, but why not clip them onto the ends of your mask?
Wall Climber for Kitty – I love my pets, and my pets like to perch. These little wall climbers offer a better-looking alternative to the bulky, carpet covered cat stands that you see at most pet stores. I love that you can change up the cushion to match your decor, and if you have a spare step you can sub it as a plant stand!
Olive Oil + Vinegar Dispenser – Our family spends a lot of time in the kitchen and I love finding ways to spruce up the space. These dispensers are pretty enough to display on the counter and can also be used for any variety of liquid-storage around the house.
Etsy Gifts for My Friends
Feminist Tote – Female Power? Done. This shop has so many amazing goodies, but I particularly love this simple tote with a strong message, and the black and ivory color scheme makes it an easy choice to gift.
Beeswax + Coconut Oil Candle – Ready to chill but needing to social distance equals lots of time for self-care. And who doesn’t need more candles?
Modern Vase – This piece definitely requires some knowledge of the receiver's decorating tastes, but it’s subtle, striking, and holds flowers. Win, win, win. :)
