A Season of Joy & Hope
December is a rear-view mirror. More than any other month of the year, in December, we reflect and “look back” at the stretch of road we’ve travelled — what we saw on the way, what we missed, where we went too fast, where we changed lanes, the signs we heeded and those ignored, the parts we’re glad to have left behind, the parts we wish we could revisit and navigate better and wiser. And for all of it — that we have a journey to look back on and learn and grow from — we find ourselves feeling especially grateful at this time of the year.
December is a wishing well. We arrive looking for a future we want: New goals and resolutions, a fresh batch of hopes and dreams. A fathomless list of not-yets, of almost-theres.
The best things in our lives, however, dwell neither in the past nor an uncertain future. What if we let December be December? Where the best things in life — joy, hope, beauty — are right here and now, ripe for our picking, enjoyment and sharing?
Our Christmas Gift Guide this year is all about celebrating “A Season of Joy & Hope” — with presents thoughtfully and beautifully made and curated together with partners who care — for you to cherish every present moment with those you love.
December is a gift. Live it, love it, share it.
— John O’Donohue
“Beauty does not reserve itself for special elite moments or instances; it does not wait for perfection but is present already secretly in everything.”
A still moment goes a long way. Like spa for the mind and soul, taking pause regularly from the busy-ness of daily life can do wonders in reclaiming one’s peace and clarity. And yes, it has been known to lead to feelings of joy. Know anyone who likes to say they don’t have time for a moment of self-care? They’re the ones who need it the most. Support them in their well-being journey by introducing a quick — and luxurious — breathing ritual whenever they wash their hands with this invigorating gift set, which contains wy:now’s Bergamot Clary Sage Hand Wash in Bynd Artisan’s Canvas with Leather Toiletry Bag.
The Clarity Set includes:
1 — Canvas with Leather Toiletry Bag, Bynd Artisan
2 — Bergamot Clary Sage Hand Wash (500ml), wy:now
Clarity $80
Illuminate
This Christmas, “send light” to someone special. Doing so through your thoughts and over a text message is nice. However, during this special time of the year, it is even nicer to illuminate the corners of someone’s days and spaces, actually. The Illuminate Set embodies the joy, hope and beauty you wish on those you love. A trio of candles in mouth-blown glass in soft, soothing colours, each with a touch of elegance thanks to the taupe-leather base and tray.
The Illuminate Set includes:
Tea Light Tray, Bynd Artisan
Glass Tea Light Holder,
