Ever since I was little, I‘ve always found immense joy in gift giving. Throughout the year, I think of unique and highly personalized gifts that will afford someone special in my life a “surprise-and-delight moment”.

I’ve spent countless hours of my life thinking about how to show someone how special they are to me by the gifts I give them… And in the process, it fill my cup – a selfish activity, really!

As I get older, the priority in my gift giving as shifted away from material things to collective, shared experiences – quality time, if you will. I do, however, always aim to shop local and small – and the many talented Vermont makers make realizing this goal easy.

In this Vermont holiday gift guide, you’ll see a highly curated list, specific to the holiday season in 2024, with many of my personal favorite Vermont brands and products reflected. I also included adventures and activities – whether with a child or partner – that will afford your loved one with perhaps the best gift of all: presence and new life experiences collected, together. Happy gifting and thank YOU for supporting small!
