A Very Good & Gold Holiday Gift Guide

This year, we’re particularly thankful to work with a wonderful group of clients who, among many other things, make holiday gifting extremely easy. From progressive nail polish to Old World sausage, sustainable throw blankets, single-origin coffees, hand-bottled chai, and sassy wines, this set of unique businesses reads like a curated wish list from your most discerning friend. 

Ready to go shopping? We’ve prepared a festive gift guide that’s got something special for everyone on your list.  

Olympia Provisions Charcuterie

Artisan salami and charcuterie are perfect go-to gifts for the foodies in our lives, making Olympia Provisions an easy choice. The best part? They offer presents at all levels, making it easy to go all-out with the Grand Charcuterie Experience, or keep it simple with a Farmers Network Sampler.  

Stumptown Coffee

Who doesn’t need some interesting new coffee? Unsure which region or blend to get? Stumptown's Holiday Trio takes the guesswork out of gifting by elegantly packaging their festive Evergreen blend, Ethiopia Nano Challa, and the Guatemala Bella Vista roasts into a single set. 

Claws Out Nail Polish

Claws Out is a values-driven nail polish company that donates a portion of every sale to a corresponding nonprofit. What's more, they offer awesome customizable gift boxes that let you pick 8 bottles of polish, 8 donation cards, and manicure must-haves in one inspiring package.

Seek & Swoon Throws

A cozy, sustainable throw is just the thing for the holidays. And Seek & Swoon's Winter Wonderland Throw, adorned with modern, Nordic-inspired trees make it a festive favorite. If you're looking for something more local, check out the Portland Throw, a blanket inspired by the natural intersections of our community.

Oak & Oscar Watches

Oak & Oscar is a Chicago-based watch company that makes stunning watches built to discover. Their timepieces range from a classic, 38mm field watch to a rugged, Swiss-powered beauty made to go anywhere. If you're after a timeless gift, you’ve found it.

Prank-O Gift Boxes

Meet Prank-O, a group of comics here to make the season more memorable with a set of side-splitting gift boxes that showcase made-up products. Treat your fam to a gift disguised as the “Handy Hand,” the “Earwax Candle Kit,” or another ridiculous product from their website.

Tanglewood Chai

This year, Tanglewood is offering a Holiday Gift Pack that bundles three concentrates into a single package. Think of their concentrates as non-traditional take on chai, but with bold and delicious flavors inspired by and sourced from the Portland region. The trio includes Tanglewood favorites Turmeric Thai, Ginger Spiced Chai, and Lavender Fog in stocking-friendly 16-ounce bottles.

Bernardo Footwear

Founded in 1946, it's hard to imagine a sandal more iconic than Bernardo's handcrafted Brazilian beauties. Today, the brand offers everything from sandals to rainboots, flats, loafers, wedges, and more—all handcrafted for quality, comfort, and style.

FIL DE VIE Caftans

Beautiful, sustainably made, and impeccably crafted, FIL DE VIE'S caftans are stunning works of art that transport you to another dimension. Slip one on and immerse yourself in the whimsical freedom of "resortwear."

EWF Modern Furniture

Based in Portland, EWF Modern offers gorgeous organic modern furniture and accessories, carefully curated and inspired by nature. If you're looking for that special piece, you'll find it here.

Love Adorned Discoveries

A fine jewelry and lifestyle store from veteran retailer Lori Leven, Love Adorned sells a curated inventory informed by years of traveling and collecting. Visit their website and prepare to lose yourself in a beautiful web of vintage jewelry, one-of-a-kind pieces, and artisanal home decor.

Last but not least...don't forget the wine!

The two wineries we work with are as different as they are delicious...

Located in the heart of Napa Valley, Sinegal Estate boasts sprawling grounds, a beautifully-restored stone winery, and 6,500 square feet of underground caves. Their award-winning wines are blended by expert winemakers from grapes grown entirely on the estate.

With four tasting rooms in Oregon, Evoke Winery offers "feel good wines for whatever the times." Sassy labels (don't miss this season's special "Fugly Sweater" blend) and affordable prices mean this wine delivers good laughs and quality conversations for the moments large and small.

We merge our dedication to innovative strategies and curiosity-driven design to foster growth and elevate brands.
