FROM THE EDITOR

As we hit year seven at DLK, we struggled as many small businesses did due to the worldwide pandemic. You either make it or break it and Covid hit us hard. It had the entire world re-evaluating how to conduct business and how to manage our personal lives at the same time.

We headed into 2021 with high hopes for a positive change in the world, within our own homes and communities. It took us all for an adventure we were not expecting and leaving many of us with what felt like a world wide mental breakdown. It has been a big year of self reflection for all and opened the door for our younger generations to have bold a voice. It has been a year of gratitude and appreciation for the world we live in, the people around us, and most importantly for ourselves.

I noticed a strong change in the way brands really focused their attention to eco friendly manufacturing as well as branding their pieces with positive messages to encourage kids to speak and live proudly.

It’s really beautiful.

For this year’s Holiday Gift Guide I choose to focus on gratitude. I’ve always tried to make it a strong point on all of our social platforms, but this year I wanted to really

highlight it. While we did include a Gift Guide, of course we did something extra special.

We featured… YOU. Our DLK family, supporters, lovers of small businesses, friends and family. Our incredibly talented design team chose a variety of tagged pictures from social media and turned your beautiful photographs into a coloring book! We then were inspired by your pictures for the Gift Guide. You are our inspiration and we are grateful for you, always.

I am so very proud and excited to share this unique book with you. Thank you for sharing your world with us and thank you for supporting us for the last seven years.

I hope we can continue to keep growing and building a beautiful business together! Cheers to seven more!

A BIG Thank You to my right hand and our Graphic Designer, Tiffany Butler. Her love, dedication, and creativity flows throughout the Coloring Book and Gift Guide. She is the magic behind the scenes at DLK and I am forever lucky and grateful for her!

STOCKING STUFFERS Remember the feeling of waking up on Christmas morning and dumping your stocking on the floor? It felt like you hit the jackpot, right? Stuff those stockings with our curated picks for adults and kids. Just add some treats to sweeten the pot.

Treat them and treat yourself - you deserve it.

MODERN MAN

inspired by @internationalbags

SIMPLE BUT SIGNIFICANT For the man who has it all, the gift of something seemingly random works best. Maybe it’s a word of encouragement with a unique spin or a fun conversation piece. Either way, you can’t go wrong.
