10 things to look out for (a.k.a. Jessica’s wishlist):

  1. Jackie Hanson Art: I am a huge fan of chicken art (and apparently I’m not alone). I already have Jackie’s “Nostalgia Hen” print — or as I call it: “Glitter Rainbow Chicken” — but I definitely need her Chicken in Space print to go with it. (Winter Giftopolis)
  2. Stella Orion Stained Glass: These stained glass pieces are so pretty and eye-catching — even without the sun shining through them. If I had to choose one thing, it would be the Monstera Leaf. Although she has chickens, too! (Winter Giftopolis, Gingerbread Marketplace)
  3. BL. Batchelder Art: The beautifully illustrated Avian Tarot Deck has been on my wishlist for the past two years. It is a perfect gift for “Tarot practitioners, divination enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a unique approach to their mindful practices, birders and nature enthusiasts, anyone curious about the lyrical intersection of science and symbolism and collectors of specialty tarot cards and oracle decks.” The Avian Tarot is so much more than a tarot deck — you can also purchase prints, stickers, keychains and more of the beautiful avian artworks. (Winter Giftopolis, Holiday Arts Market)
  4. Squirrel Nest Press: These linocut prints are so cool and you’re sure to find something for everyone on your list. As a diehard fan of Concord, I love this “Concord Time” t-shirt with the clock tower in downtown Concord (which is also available as a print). The birds and fish and cats and other nature themes are great, too! (Winter Giftopolis)
  5. J. Bergamot Art: Do you have someone on your list who would like an original woodburning of a plague doctor or a centaur with a sword? J. Bergamot’s original designs are inspired by fantasy, nature and the macabre. Sadly, the original unicorn woodburning I was going to put on my wishlist has been sold, but thankfully she has this mermaid original woodburning! (Winter Giftopolis)
  6. Newman Art Studio: Jeff Newman has a unique selection of quirky and whimsical paintings and assemblage art pieces. My favorite is definitely Ophelia Swims with the Gators Because it’s safer than Dating Prince Hamlet. (Winter Giftopolis, Holiday Arts Market)
  7. Wild Paints by Krystin Shields: When I first met Krystin and was admiring her work, she told me that she likes to paint creatures that aren’t traditionally seen as “cute.” I can’t decide between the ostrich, octopus, or sphynx cats! (Winter Giftopolis, Holiday Arts Market)
  8. CraftHappens: Kristen is a second-generation leathersmith, having worked with her father since the age of 12! Excellent quality belts, wristbands, dog collars and leashes and more. This butterfly hair piece is definitely on my list (But also check out these adorable leather moose). (Winter Giftopolis, Gingerbread Marketplace, Holiday Arts Market)
  9. Sewohva: Sustainability that looks this cute? Yes, please! I just want a couple packs of these adorable beeswax wraps in every design. (Winter Giftopolis)
  10. Knitting Metal: When it comes to Knitting Metal’s chainmaille jewelry, I can’t choose just one piece. I love the shiny bright colors, and bold elements like this stunning five flower necklace. (Winter Giftopolis)
