#heartcenteredholiday Gift Guide 2017
Hey friends! Happy Holidays! This year has zoomed by, it seems like it was just summer and now we are hearing Christmas music and seeing holiday lights. The holiday season feels the best when we have time to do what we love. For us, that means planning holiday dinners and gatherings, enjoying time with family, and even keeping our homes clean! It means we can plan to get thoughtful presents for friends and loved ones before the hectic shopping season begins and avoid the stuffed stores, delayed deliveries and out of stock warnings (nobody likes those). We want to avoid the frenzied feeling and have our holiday season filled with love and joy. We collaborated because we wanted to help you create a holiday season that was more about presence over presents. The holiday season is about enjoying time with friends and family, buying the presents you want and need ahead of time allows you to enjoy. We created this holiday gift guide so you can know you’re supporting small businesses (like ours) and boosting local economies which can build communities. The products included in this holiday gift guide are made with intention and care, something not always guaranteed when you shop at the mall or on Amazon. You’re supporting somebody’s family holiday, somebody’s dreams, somebody’s future. Thanks for all that you do to pour into the economy of small business owners! We hope you’ll find gifts you love and that your loved ones will cherish! Also, please find the pages called gifts that do good. These products contribute money towards causes that we truly believe in. You’re not just buying a product. We’ll be giving money back to a community that we empower with our dollars. Reina has collaborated with Kelly Parker Smith (Hello World Paper Co) and Janet Gwen Designs to create exclusive Reina + Co. + Pencils of Promise (PoP) products. When you purchase these products, all proceeds go to fund the school we’re going to build in Guatemala through PoP. For more info about our school build, please visit reinaandco. com/causes! Wishing you a joyful, restful holiday! xo, Katie and Reina

My family gathers together on Christmas Eve for a cocktail party. We feast on finger foods and toast the holiday season with festive cocktails. Cheers!
My fave holiday tradition is a Stocking Stuffer grab bag, where we wrap stocking stuffers and put them in a huuuuuge santa bag then take turns with the big family passing the bag.
