The Convers(ate) 2018 Gift Guide

Written by Taylor Buonocore and Mollie Khine

THE 2018 GIFT GUIDE IS HERE.

In the spirit of gathering, we decided to curate a list of products that elevate learning + connection just in time for holiday shopping. You’ll find everything from thank you notes to the perfect floor pillows, and of course, Convers(ate)!

  1. Nothing says Gather like a hand-lettered print.

2. The Art of the Gathering, our favorite 2018 read about how we meet and why it matters. We couldn’t put this book down; it is packed full of thoughtful and actionable ideas for gathering with intention at the dinner table and beyond.

3. Give the gift of family dinner, with Blue Apron’s Family Plan. We started using Blue Apron years ago because of the convenience of having everything you need for dinner at your doorstep, but we stuck with the subscription because of the quality time it brings at dinner time in creating — and enjoying — a healthy meal together with loved ones.

4. It’s tough, and yet so important, to disconnect from our phones. Encourage everyone to unplug with this awesome wooden phone box.

5. What is your word to keep you focused in this season of life? Mantras can be exceptionally powerful, and we love the way My Intent Bracelets keep certain intentions at the top of our minds. Not to mention, the bracelet can double as a conversation starter!

6. Not every gathering has to happen around a table. A cozy floor seating arrangement with these Handmade Moroccan floor pillows can make for a relaxed and welcoming setting.

7. A note of thanks (still) matters, and gifting a nice box of stationary can have a beautiful ripple effect. Get inspired here, and spread gratitude far and wide with this box set.

8. The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook: Some of the best recipes on the Internet, now in a cookbook form.

9. Night’s out are fun, but how about gifting a night in? Night In Boxes offer date night boxes and kids night boxes for families.

10. And our very own, Convers(ate) — a perfect gift for the gatherers in your life to bring more depth and connection to what they already do so well.
