Rust’s 2019 Gift Guide

This year, Christmas will be a tad more laid back for me, so creating this gift guide has given me so much joy.

As some of you may know, I’ll be moving states shortly after Christmas, so we’re forgoing a tree for the sake of culling and packing boxes. Ahh, heaven.

And whilst I’ll still be fulfilling my favourite Christmas traditions of watching Love Actually, The Holiday and The Grinch and marvelling at Christmas light displays, I can’t help but feel a little *dare I say it* less merry than last year.

SO, to get me and you, in the (thoughtful) Christmas spirit, here’s a curation of (some of) my favourite things – that also happen to make excellent gifts.

I love shopping small and supporting independent businesses as much and often as I can (soz bank account) and this guide is no different.

Happy gifting, you lovely bunch!
