Handmade Soap from Saipua - Elevate your bathroom experience with this amazing handmade soap from Saipua, my favorite scent is vetiver, which comes in bar soap and also liquid, depending on your preference. If you go for the bar soap you must also add the cute handmade soap dish! If Vetiver is not for you they have so many great options, guests will love and appreciate the nice touch, plus you're supporting a small woman-owned farm!

French green clay works in this soap to gently draw out impurities and tighten the pores. A good facial soap for those with sensitive and oily skin. The essential oil blend focuses on vetiver, a smoky scent, rounded out by the addition of citrus.

Colorful Candles from Putnam Design - Every celebration and or gathering should have a scent and I am obsessed with the candles from Putnam Design, made in LA and queer-owned, not only do they come in super cute and colorful containers the scents are so full of fragrance and burn true to smell, my personal fave is the jasmine, which reminds me of growing up in California, so it makes me so happy to have that scent in NYC.

Confetti Cutting / Serving Board from Fredericks and Mae - What is a party without food, and why serve snacks on a plain wooden or marble board when you can serve it on top of a confetti cutting board, it will brighten up any table and when not in use to serve food it is an actual cutting board, so two for one use! They come in many shapes and sizes, I suggest getting a couple and mixing and matching them with various snacks on top! They are a queer Brooklyn-based couple who creates joyful products together, how fab is that!

Forever Flowers from East Olivia - While I personally love to arrange fresh flowers weekly, and for celebrations and gatherings not everyone is a fan, that's where forever flowers come in! Worry not about flowers wilting or dying, you can have beautiful, bold, and fun flower arrangements that last forever and will add joy to your event time and time again! They come in all shapes and sizes, my personal favorite is the Betty XL, but you could get a couple of smaller ones or a larger statement! Oliva is the female founder of her namesake NY-based company!

Bright Napkins, Coasters, and Placemats from Suay Sew Shop - Suay means beautiful in Thai and I could not agree more, the products are beautiful as is the way they are made. Reclaimed products and upcycling are at the heart of this female-run company based in LA, they also have a love for color and it comes through in all of their products, my personal favorites are the two-tone linen napkins which add a pop of joy to any celebration, dinner or gathering around the table.
