Hi friends… it has been a little while since our last blog post, and with the holidays in full sparkle mode, it felt like the perfect time for a cozy little catch-up. If you have been following along on social media, you know this season has been full of new ideas, festive launches, and lots of late nights at my craft table. If you are new here, welcome, I am so glad you found August Nine Home.
This time of year always brings a special kind of magic. The music gets louder, the wrapping paper comes out, and the orders start flowing with so much love behind them. Every product that leaves my studio during the holidays is being tucked into a gift bag, placed under a tree, or sent to a teacher, friend, coach, or loved one. That never gets old for me.
What Holiday Season Looks Like Behind the Scenes
The holidays at August Nine Home are busy in the best way. My days are filled with:
-
Printing and pressing festive designs
-
Cutting, packaging, and quality checking each piece
-
Preparing orders for shipping with care and a little extra holiday cheer
Every tag, every ribbon, and every package is packed by hand in my home studio. It is a mix of joyful chaos, Christmas music on repeat, and lots of coffee.
Holiday Favorites in the Shop
This season, you all have been loving:
-
Christmas house coasters for cozy winter drinks
-
Magic camera ornaments for keeping the Santa magic alive
-
Holiday kitchen towels for simple festive decor
-
Christmas bookmarks and sticker packs
These kinds of gifts are my fav because they are meaningful without being over-the-top. They are the things people actually use, smile at, and keep year after year.
Why Small, Thoughtful Gifts Matter So Much
There is something really special about gifting something handmade during the holidays. You are not just giving a product, you are giving a story. A small business story. A heart-behind-the-scenes story. When you shop small for the holidays, you truly keep dreams alive, and I will never stop being grateful for every single order.
Looking Ahead
As we wrap up this year, I am already dreaming about what is coming next for August Nine Home. New product ideas are on my list, fresh collections are being sketched out, and there are some really fun things planned for the new year that I cannot wait to share with you.
If you have shopped with me this holiday season, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you have shared, liked, commented, or sent a kind message, thank you. And if you are just finding me now, welcome to this little corner of the internet, I am so happy you are here.
Wishing you the coziest season, filled with warmth, kindness, and a little extra sparkle.
xoxo,
Jennifer
